Hilton or Motel 6?

Not so good. First noticed no hand soap in bathroom, no wifi, having to pay for parking. The shampoo, conditioner, and body wash bottles were old and dirty. Noticed wall by bed had boogers on wall. The fruit we purchased for $7 was outdated. The water pressure reminded me of a barrel you fill with water, poke holes through, and hang above your head. The water temperature was horrible, temperature wouldn’t change for minutes at a time, then suddenly become extremely hot, and an obnoxious loud vibration from water pipes that felt like a plane was flying too close to the building, sounded like it as well. I have stayed at Hiltons which when I seen the Hilton name I thought, “this should be good”, I’d compare this Hilton to a Motel 6 or Budget Inn, $50 a night. After this stay my wife and I are seriously considering not being able to trust the “Hilton” brand hotels any longer. I can say that the bed was comfy and the hotel staff were excellent. I feel you pay more for the location than you do for quality.

This is a very unique hotel in a great location so we love it for that. Unfortunately we had a maintenance issue that effected our room and the rooms around us. We notified staff and were told maintenance would come fix it, but they did not.

You can count on the Graduate to have friendly staff. The Tempe Graduate is near campus and has great amenities, onsite bar, restaurant, pool, hottub, parking. Beds are comfortable and love having a private balcony looking at orange trees

Underwhelming

I was disappointed in the appearance of the hotel. The interior was dated and overall a cheap looking. The reception desk was quiet and staff was friendly.

Loud noise in plumbing

The stay was a good one overall. The problem we experienced was to do with the plumbing (I believe). When hot water was turned on in the shower, a VERY LOUD, knocking/large farm equipment turning on in our room. We experienced this noise twice. Once when we used the shower in the afternoon. Then again at 6:00am when someone else must have turned on the water in a room above us and the noise was so loud and woke the whole family. Thank goodness we had experienced it already so we remembered the sound (eventually, after the shock of being woken in such a loud/scary manner) and knew what it was. I hope this feedback is helpful and you are able to resolve the problem for continued success of your hotel!

A parking fee?!?!

Room was clean but nothing that stood out. Out dated look and furniture layout. Bathroom needed the most updating with it feeling the least clean. What was the most disappointing part of the stay was that after paying a good amount for the room they charge an additional $15 to park in the parking every 24 hours. At least let me park for free if I’m going to be charged hundreds of dollars per night to stay there. However was conveniently located very close the ASU Gammage.
