Staff is great! Room was great. Cleanliness was down a bit 4/5

The property was very nice. However, I paid for a deluxe King room and was given a room with double beds. It was nice but not what I paid for or expected.

Loved the decor. Very spacious rooms. Staff was excellent!

Great location and very nice hotel

Lovely facility, convenient in downtown Richmond.

No cleaning after first night

Great location, friendly staff

This was my 2nd stay at the Graduate Richmond. I love this hotel. Not only is it a unique establishment, but also has the best staff. Every member I encountered was friendly, down to earth and extremely accommodating. We arrived late after a long drive. Nicole set us up in a beautiful room. Destiny helped us with our luggage bc all carts were being used. Frances was so pleasant during checkout. I look forward to returning soon.

At 1st glance, cool, modern decor. But worn and dirty. Ugly spots on the carpets,leather backboard on the bed had horrible stain, the tub felt dirty to my feet. I took photos it was so bad.The 1st room we were sent to hadnt been cleaned and did not include 2 beds. The receptionist didn't even apologize.

The vibe at Graduate was hip and modern and their rooftop bar and lounger were very nice, however, we had trouble getting into our room as linens were not delivered on time and we couldn't get into our room until about 7:00. We had our dog with us so we couldn't go to the rooftop and they gave us drink vouchers for the downstairs bar, but we really just wanted to rest in our room and had little time to get ready before heading to dinner. Overall the location was great, the room was clean and spacious, and the staff did their best to accommodate us but the delay in getting into our room was a disappointment.

Super unique decor. Not your average hotel design. Great rooftop bar. Great breakfast options. Don’t miss the biscuit sandwich. Extremely friendly staff!
