The room was very nice, the location was convent and the price was comparable to other hotel options. I do have a few complaint, one issue was the thermostats in the room. It was either running all the time and increasingly getting hot in the room at night even though I turned it down to 69. The other misfortune was the events on Wednesday Jan 27 and lack of what was going on at the hotel with the police presences, boarded up first floor and barricades out front. I felt if I was receiving texts to see how my stay was going, I surely should have received a text about the anticipated events taking place around the Graduate hotel ground along Washington street and front parking lot. Lastly, service in the Beacon was suboptimal. I waited over 20 minutes for a server to even approach me on Jan 26 and then when she did bring me a menu and took my order, she never once came back to see if I needed anything after bring the meal out from the kitchen. When I was ready for the bill, I again waited close to 20 minutes and finally asked the hostess if she could check me out.

The hotel is in a great location. We were there to attend the world junior games. Walking distance to the arena. Green line across the street and took it to several spots of interest. The restaurant on site had a good selection of food but had the best margarita ever.

I reserved a room with a king bed for my husband and myself, but was told at the property at check-in that only rooms with two doubles were available. We were tired and still chilled from traveling in Minnesota wintertime, so accepted the room, which was at the end of a very, very long hallway on the fourth floor. Unfortunately, the thermostat and heater unit did not work properly and the room stayed at 58 degrees. The front desk attendant reluctantly gave us a different room, which was on the third floor immediately beneath the permafrost room. That room’s thermostat only toggled between “off” and “auto,” and the temp did not get above 61 degrees. We were exhausted by then so just pulled all of the blankets from the other bed and pretended we were camping in the north woods in winter. The front desk attendants at check-in and check out seemed indifferent but said they would let the maintenance team know. We were offered a couple of snacks from the sundries shop at check-out for our trouble. We’ve stayed at this Graduate hotel and one other several times before, and this experience was disappointing. We will be staying at a different hotel next time.
