My stay at Graduate By Hilton Knoxville was a mix of charming decor and frustrating service. The hotel had a lovely atmosphere with its unique themes and cleanliness, but I experienced some significant service issues that detracted from my overall enjoyment. While the location was excellent for exploring the university area, the responsiveness of the staff left much to be desired.
