Great location but not super impressed
Place was nice and so well located downtown. The rooms were OK but the bathroom was small and not well appointed. The room decor was purposely old fashioned. Bed was not super comfortable. I have stayed at other Graduates and this one disappointed slightly. Still a good place to stay if you can get a good rate. The staff were very helpful.

Great location, friendly staff!
Great location, great decor, awesome space. Parking should be included. Would like to have known where the ice machines were located if there even were any. I just went down and got a cup of ice from the bar. Forgot my body ash but would never have used their offerings as the scent was not pleasant at all, would prefer a different brand for the price you pay for the room.

Beautiful decor, like all Graduate hotels. But service left a lot to be desired. No foam pillows, water not filled in the gym, food and drinks took forever to arrive and often cold. Very disappointed in this hotel.
