Historic building that needs a lot of TLC. The standard rooms are fine. Great for the price. The suite isn’t much more but they’re in an historic building and everything is worn and dated. The bathroom was unclean only in mold and rotted trim. Equipped with very dated facilities. What some may desire, but my preference in the bathroom in particular, is modernity.

Eclectic stay
This was our first stay at The Graduate in Athens. It is an adorable motel, very eclectic and different. The rooms were a bit small, especially the bathroom. The rooms do not have small refrigerators, we were told it is more of a "cooler." This was disappointing as it was pretty hot and we had to put bags of ice in it to keep water cool. The little coffee shop has great coffee and breakfast sandwiches. We also wish the pool had been open! The people as always in Athens, were very helpful and sweet!

I have stayed at a few Graduates and this location was not up to par in my opinion. It is different in that the lay out is more motel than hotel but, I though it could have been cleaner especially in the bathroom. Stay was great just disappointed compared to my previous stays at Graduate Hotels.
