We honestly LOVED our stay at The Graduate. The facilities were just simply top-flight in every way. The staff—-from valet to check-in to room cleanliness staff—-were all spectacular. We will indeed be back!!!

Disappointed in the room. Extremely small for the price. Only good thing was the close proximity to the campus.
Staff was polite & helpful, room was clean. 24 hour valet necessary & appreciated but pricey ($40 for overnight plus tip). Bath products were off-putting. One smelled worse than the other and overall were akin to pesticide. Never experienced anything like it, but you don’t book a hotel for their shampoo. I didn’t have a chance to visit the restaurant or breakfast café so can’t comment.
