It was hard to get a hold of anyone at the front desk from our room. We called at least 4 different times and no one ever answered. Then, a few minutes later, the front desk called us, so we thought they knew we had called and were calling back. Nope. They told us we had used an invalid credit card, which wasn't true because we booked through Expedia. It turned out to be an error on their end. Shower gel dispenser was empty. On the plus side, we did receive complimentary late checkout. The hotel room was nicely decorated. The location is convenient and close to campus/downtown areas.

This was a charming property but there was some water damage on the ceiling in our room and a musty dank smell that became more pervasive and annoying over time. I wish we had insisted on a different room but we overheard the person in front of us at check in complaining about the same thing and they said there were no other rooms. Super cute decorations otherwise, and a great location.

I love the decor of the Graduate and its proximity to restaurants and campus. The property itself is a little run down and could use more than an esthetic makeover. For instance, the bathroom in our room had a crack on the toilet and a lot of rust on the vanity.
