In a great way, not like other hotels. Very unique and the friendliest staff I've encountered in a long while. We had to take our dog at the last minute and they were extremely accommodating. My wife and I are looking for other cities with Graduate hotels to visit.

Stay was great! Room was very clean, housekeeping would come by everyday and tidy up. Loved the Critters bar and the White Limozeen! Zee at the front desk was very friendly and went above and beyond to ensure we had a good time! Location was great and within walking distance of many restaurants. Stay was overall great, we will definitely stay at the Graduate next time we visit Nashville!!

Great girls weekend

We love The Graduate! The decor sets it apart from other hotels. From the handmade rug depicting Minnie Pearl in the lobby down to the squirrel drawer pulls on the furniture, ever detail is curated. We took some of my daughter’s senior photos on the rooftop and it was the perfect backdrop.
