The staff at the desk was helpful. Our room did not get cleaned until we requested it at 2 pm. The restaurant had a limited menu on Saturday night. It was really crowded with students, not guests, studying and eating in the lobby.

We love the Graduate Hotel. Stayed here many times and keep coming back. The only knock this time was they are replacing the A/C system so we had a window A/C unit that kicked the power out multiple times. But they had lemonade and ice cream treats available all weekend in exchange for the inconvenience. But by now, the new A/C system should be in and the hotel will be all for the better!

Great location, fun decor

We somehow got a good rate here on a football game day, which was lucky. It did make it trickier to park but we were able to get in the Wash Ave ramp without a problem (connected via skywalk if you have bad weather). The hotel has really fun/cool decor, and our room was cleverly decorated. Comfy beds. The golf equipment was broken but we didn't have time anyway; it looked like there were other fun amenities as well. For parents of U students, there is no better location if the rate isn't sky high. Would definitely stay here again.

Dazzle with looks not service.

Very nice lobby and bar. Rooms were clean and standard size. Lobby and bar were freezing cold. AC unit in room leaked all over the floor on one side of the bed. Extra pillows and a blanket that were in the floor were completely soaked. Reported it to the front desk and nothing was done about. Not very good service.
