I loved the staff. Having to pay for parking was unexpected. No breakfast amenities but excellent location. Decor was phenomenal!
The Graduate Athens was unique to any hotel I’ve stayed at in a very long time. Their staff was friendly & their rooms were super cute. I’ll definitely be back!
Whether one night or several- when visiting Athens, you can’t go wrong by choosing the Graduate for your stay. Unique downtown hotel with many quant items and a very accommodating and friendly staff.
We like how you can drive up and park right outside your hotel room.
Everything was unique! The room decor was really unusual and the bathroom was very nice. The king bed and bedding were both very comfortable
unique room decor, GReat location! Music hall on premise
Although there were some issues with housekeeping, the staff was extremely understanding and professional in their response. Overall the hotel is in a great location, quirky design and comfortable accommodations.
The location in Uptown Athens and free shuttle offered by the hotel to around town were the best features. The pool, though, had no towels. We took ours from the room, and when we called, it took a while before we received new ones. We had to eave for dinner we wsited so long.
Really one of the nicest staff experiences I have had. Clean, comfortable and amazingly affordable.
The Foundry and public areas along with the staff were awesome. But then we got to our room. Door had a major gap in it when shut, fridge was barely cold, we could here people walking above us constantly, dogs in other rooms barked throughout the night keeping us up, the hvac unit was broken so we either froze or were in a furnace throughout the night. There is a $10 parking fee, yet we weren’t able to park in front of our room(no assigned parking). I would go back, but I would expect a motel 6 quality(or less) with a great location and on site venues.
The Graduate is always my go to hotel in Athens. The only recommendation I would make would be to get a room away from the road to reduce the traffic noise.
This place was perfect for our family (2 adults/2 kids). Great venue on location for live music and craft beer on tap!
A huge number of options, live music,spa and location. I would call a surprising gem
The Graduate is in a great location near downtown. Quiet, comfortable, great decor.
The Graduate was awesome, nice amenities onsite, nice room, great rate. They even upgraded us to a suite for free! Wonderful experience.
Stayed due to a short notice hospital stay of a family member. The Graduate was a nice weather walk to Athens regional. The road traffic was audible in my room. So if you are a light sleeper request a room further back on the grounds. A lovely place to stay for business or pleasure.
Very creative space and decent sized room. Common areas including lobby/coffee shop and Foundry Restaurant great. The room did smell a tad musty as others have reported though it wasn't a deal breaker. The staff did their jobs basically but could care less to go above and beyond the minimum (aside from the cleaning staff, who were very nice!). All in all, we would stay here again.
Great atmosphere. Very quaint. Decor was unique. Staff was very polite and waited on us. The Foundry restaurant was top notch.
The hotel had lovely decor, great food, a convienient location and a very responsive staff. Having the Foundy on site was an unexpected benefit and the music was outstanding! The rooms were well appointed and very comfortable but the only drawback was that the rooms have wall units for air conditioning. As a result, there was lots of condensation and I could see mold spores on the vents of the ac unit and the room was a little stuffy.
