Great location for visiting University of Tennessee. Hotel theming was so cute. Dining option on site was convenient. Only parking option is valet. Definitely not a quiet location. Police sirens all hours of night and dumpsters getting emptied in middle of night.

Great hotel!

This hotel was great. It was completely on point being on the UT campus. The student IDs and key cards were great. I now want to stay at all the Graduate hotels! Fun!

The Graduate is probably the most convenient hotel for parents visiting UTK, and that's its greatest asset. But the decor is tired, the breakfast area has limited options, and their bar/restaurant is really a hindrance to business. Saloon 16 is owned by former Vol Peyton Manning, but i doubt he's given it a minute of thought since opening it. During our stay, the satellite tv service was not working properly throughout the hotel, and half the channels didn't work - especially bad was that the weather channel was down, and Knoxville was expecting a winter weather event. The Graduate is a great work opportunity for UTK students, but as a Hilton it doesn't meet their standard.

Nice decor & comfy bed

The Peyton Manning themed hotel was perfectly decorated. Room was clean and bed was comfy. The heater/AC was loud when it ran and there was no fan in the bathroom. Saloon 16 near the hotel lobby was convenient but frigid cold. Staff was friendly. I am not a huge fan of being essentially required to pay for the $40 valet service and then tipping on top of the cost. All in all a nice stay. The theme of the hotel is definitely a must see for Volunteer fans.

Nice but breakfast not included

Stayed for a night to check out UTK. Hotel has perfect location. Pricey but well kept. A little dated but we love the TN & Vols touches! Would have given 5 stars if breakfast is included, especially with the hefty nightly price tag.
