The lady at the front desk was amazing, I needed some towels from my room and she was so kind. I can’t remember her name not she has shorter black hair. The room was clean and comfy.

The Graduate Columbia is quaint, our GPS took us to the front of the building but the checkin desk is in the back so we thought we were walking into someone’s house! Obviously the entrance says Graduate so we knew we were in the right place. So the ground floor area is cute and cozy. The themed gamecock areas/rooms are fun and the convenience to USC is great, easy walk across the street. However, the rooms are pretty small and tight, the bathrooms even more so and the shower door is rusting, also the room/bathroom was not very clean. I had turned down housekeeping upon checkin, two nights, thought we would be in and out so much it would be easier and wouldn’t really need it. I wonder if the infrequent cleaning these days and then a rushed cleaning on room turnover is contributing to a less than thorough clean? Also the coffee in the room is instant? The latte from the bar downstairs was undrinkable, I threw it away. There is a cute coffee shop nearby on Gervais in an old funeral home that we got on our way out of town, highly recommend-knowledge coffee, also good breakfast sandwich. Overall it served its purpose for our college tour but if we came back I would look for somewhere else to stay.
