Super cute and fun decor! Tyler at front desk was very friendly and put up with some silly antics from my sister and I during our stay. A great place if you are seeing a show at Gammage. Very close to many great restaurants. Good drinks at the on-ste bar. Would stay again for sure!

My husband and I stayed in this hotel last night as we are passing through town. The staff was friendly. The room looks great and the bed was comfortable. The towels were very fluffy. My only concern is that the bathroom door doesn’t close all the way. Other than that, everything else is great.

My sister, my mom and I stayed here for her wedding dress shopping weekend and what started out as a bumpy checkin experience ended in a wonderful stay. The lobby and first floor was cute and fun! Decompressing with two of her bridesmaids after a day of shopping we were welcomed at the restaurant with warmth. The hotel room was clean and stocked with extra towels as well. But the best part of the stay was the management team checking on us after feedback was given from our check in. Esther was apologetic and so very kind. I will definitely recommend The Graduate Tempe to friends and if I'm staying in the area again, this will be my hotel of choice. Thank you!

It was rather blah, and the Graduate hotels in other places have more personality, so i was expecting more. I'd been better off at the Roxy or even a Spinghill Suites... rooms were not available until 4pm, coffee was poor, both in the room and at the espresso bar... the building seemed tired and worn out... not great at all.

This hotel should not be considered a Graduate Hotel, that promises to be a welcoming and one of a kind place. I have been to 2 other graduate (from the original ones before hilton bought it), and they were phenomenal and very unique, with great amenities and new/modern rooms. What it seems like they did here is get an antiquated hilton hotel and add a few new pieces of furniture and color to the walls. They didn't have any water available for purchase in the property for 2 days, and didn't seem to care when we asked - just said they must be out of water, a very poor breakfast selection to order from their cafe, with half of the items being out of stock, and the rooms and facilities feel old, and not welcoming at all.

I had a wonderful stay. The room was spotless and very comfortable. The front desk staff were incredibly friendly and always willing to help. The hotel is in a fantastic location, close to everything I needed. Plus, the coffee from the bar in the morning was a perfect way to start the day!
