Overview

The Graduate Knoxville is a popular choice for families visiting the University of Tennessee. Parents appreciate its excellent location, steps away from the campus and student dorms, making it incredibly convenient for families with students. The hotel's Tennessee/Manning-themed decor is a highlight, adding a unique and enjoyable touch to the stay. While some guests mention that the walls are thin and that common areas could benefit from more frequent cleaning, the overwhelmingly positive feedback points to friendly and helpful staff and a welcoming atmosphere. The attached Saloon 16 offers a family-friendly option for dinner.

Location is amazing. If you have a kid at UT, you have to stay there once. Steps away from campus and most dorms. Tennessee/Manning theme is awesome! Some parts of the building a little dated and could use a deeper cleaning of common areas. Shared microwave on every other floor was nice option but it was way overdue for a wipe down. Housekeeping didn’t close the door fully one day, so our room was unlocked for hours. Parking is $35/night and valet is the only option. Watched the basketball game at the attached Saloon 16, where prices were reasonable and the female bartender was friendly. Glad I stayed there but probably won’t choose it again, unless I’m in the area without a car.

The welcome staff & college age valets were so friendly and helpful! We LOVED all of the Tennessee touches in the decor. We’ve stayed at multiple Graduate Hotels & this decor is one of the best. The location is perfect for students and families visiting campus. The downside - the walls are very thin. Our neighbors were not being overly loud, but we could hear many conversations and noises. There was also a barking dog during the night. (Although I do like that it’s a dog friendly hotel in general). I wish Graduate hotels had a real coffee pot or pod coffee in the room vs instant powder. The instant powder teapot fits the vibe of the decor, but the powder coffee is not nearly as good as a pod or what can be bought at the coffee counter in the lobby.
