We stayed 10 years ago and thought its quirks charming. The charming quirks are gone, it’s seen better days, and the standard breakfast, mediocre that it is, is free at most mid-priced Hilton Hotels. At the Graduate it is a $5 cup of coffee and $11 breakfast sandwich. I could at least understand the $75 charge for 4 night’s parking given they are right across from campus ( but why are hotel guests competing with resident students for parking?

This property is a little run down, and my room was missing key components like a luggage rack, tv remote etc. Then after housekeeping service they did not refill the coffee nor did they give me a new bath mat after they took all the towels. The food in the restaurant was so-so. Front desk was very nice however.
