Was a beautiful place. We paid up for a suite and the blackout blinds were designed not to close all the way. If the rail they were attached to didn’t stop short 4’ from the middle they would have done the job.

Parking garage is horrible. You can see many cars have been damaged on the close walls in it. $23 a night to find zero parking and to come close to damaging our car.

Great style staff and locatiobut could be cleaner

Front desk and restaurant staff were very friendly and helpful. Hotel and restaurant were beautiful and the retro feel was fun and quirky like a step back in time. Beds were comfortable. Most hotels don’t meet my expectations cleanliness wise and this one was no exception, it wasn’t the worst but definitely could have been better. Hair in tub couple spots in shower walls light switches and mirrors smeared, layer of dust on upper fixtures like smoke detectors etc. maybe I’m just picky but definitely a three for room cleanliness other than that the hotel was great in every way.

Convenient to the Haymarket area, very walkable. While we loved the retro decor, the room wasn’t very clean and it felt like really tight quarters for four of us.

The Graduate is great

This was the second time I’ve stayed here on a roadtrip, I totally love it. It’s funky and fun with terrific service staff and a comfortable room with character. It’s also close to the Haymarket and all its terrific restaurants and ice cream and breweries to choose from after a long day’s drive!
