The bar on top floor was great. Nice atmosphere and servers. When we left I stopped at front desk to say we were leaving, the woman at the front desk typing and looking at her monitor, never looked at me while we talked. Common courtesy was missing is all. I doubt she noted I was gone. I just wanted to be courteous in letting the hotel know the room was empty. That was my last interaction and left me feeling a little bit unwelcome (leave already). No ‘thanks for staying, come again’. I paid a lot of money (for me) to enjoy the campus atmosphere while visiting my daughter. Big kudos to the designers - the hotel is unique and I loved the Spartan MSU theme throughout. Maybe because it was my last interaction, it has stuck with me. The woman who checked me in-was kind and acknowledged me. Sometimes it’s the little things we love (all the cool touches throughout the Graduate) but also the little things that stick with you (being ignored during a conversation).

The Graduate is Great

I appreciate the style of the hotel. The rooftop bar is a great feature. The rooms are all themed around MSU and Michigan woodland type decor. Very comfortable and easy to get to. Close to campus and downtown East Lansing. The staff is great. The bathrooms are awesome, showers are some of the best I’ve seen. Cafe on the main floor is great for a little coffee and pastry before you get on your way.
