I love this hotel. I recently attended a 3-day workshop at the University of Tennessee and was able to walk from the Graduate Hotel, to my classes; something I haven't done since 1973. The hotel is older, but has been refurbished nicely. Very convenient to anything on the UT Knoxville campus. No parking. All guest cars are valet-parked.

A bit over priced but a nice hotel. The rooms were well decorated and Tennessee themed. Beds were comfortable and air conditioning worked. The parking is valet only, sigh, and we didn’t think the higher cost was worth it. Would stay again if didn’t have other options. Right across from campus.
