I like staying at Graduate hotels because they are quirky and good quality for a reasonable price. Often, quirky comes with an up charge, but it’s just part of the DNA here. I would stay again!

Wonderful Experience
Amazing, kind, engaging front desk staff both at check in and check out. When we shared that the vending machine on our floor was out of water, they gave us two bottles at no charge. Delicious breakfast with prompt, courteous service as well. Comfortable beds and easy to control temperature.

The Graduate had a cool vibe, but for the amount we paid it seemed a bit worn down. In the room lighting and outlets didn’t work, there was a shelf missing in the bathroom and there was no regular coffee in the room. Why don’t all hotels have free fresh coffee in the lobby? - it’s annoying to pay $4 for drip coffee when we should have it in the room.
