Maybe update bathrooms a little, wallpaper was peeling, same with paint in bathrooms. Lamp was broken, there was a lingering smell of cleaning product, shower could use a better deep cleaning.

This is my third time staying at this Graduate location. While this property is so nice and convenient, this time it lacked the five-star status I usually give. The rooms are needing an update, carpet is old, stains on the sofa, bathroom floor was absolutely filthy. The safe in my room didn't work as well. Might I also suggest complimentary coffee. Charge what you will for the night and offer that for your guests. No one wants to be bothered with paying for a coffee. I will say that the ladies at the front desk were wonderful and friendly. I will of course stay again when I visit.

I was so excited to stay at the graduate because the other locations I've stayed at have been amazing at this location. I was not happy with the room. The bathroom was so tiny. The door could barely close it bumped up to the toilet. I wasn't crazy about the ground level floor because it looked right into the courtyard with people sitting in front of my window that said with the curtains closed, there's absolutely no light in the room so that was difficult. The final summary is it's totally not worth the amount of money almost $2000 to stay there for three nights. I do not believe I will stay there again.

The front desk was not friendly at all. She didn’t even greet us when we walked in the door, and barely said a word to us as we checked in! Our room was fine, the beds were comfortable, and the decor is nice. The bathroom was extremely small and not very clean. There were hairs all over and dried blood up one wall and on the vanity when we arrived.
