The room was not very clean, dusty, and carpets soiled. Needed to change rooms due to power outage in the bathroom. Hotel staff were nice and accommodating.
I had a very pleasant stay! I totally forgot, though, that there's often live music on weekend nights directly outside the hotel - fortunately I was on the far side and the AC covered up the sound. Parking was very difficult in the public lot next to the hotel on Saturday night; finally found a spot after driving through the whole structure twice. :/
I have always wanted to stay at a Graduate hotel for their unique vintage design. All of the detail was incredible. So unique and fun! No breakfast included or pool- which we knew ahead of time but the dandelion cafe nearby was excellent for brunch. Fun stay in a college town.
