A parking fee?!?!

Room was clean but nothing that stood out. Out dated look and furniture layout. Bathroom needed the most updating with it feeling the least clean. What was the most disappointing part of the stay was that after paying a good amount for the room they charge an additional $15 to park in the parking every 24 hours. At least let me park for free if I’m going to be charged hundreds of dollars per night to stay there. However was conveniently located very close the ASU Gammage.

Perfect Location for Gammage Shows

The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The pool and pool area were quiet, clean, and relaxing. The location is right across the street from Gammage, so we were able to walk over to our show.

They Could have tried harder...

Be prepared to be nickeled and dimed to death. We showed up slightly early, they will let you in early if your room is available - for a fee. Parking is available - for a fee. Sure they will give you a water when their housekeeping forgets to stock the fridge when they clean - for a fee. While many of the male front desk staff were incredibly friendly and the staff did an amazing job of receiving a package for me in advance of our stay, the younger female at the front desk was cold and not helpful. WiFi was spotty. Worked sometimes, not others. Had to use the hot spot on my phone to get work done. Train going by outside created noise, but nothing they could have done about that. All-in-all it's not like I wouldn't stay with them again, I just feel like they could have tried harder and not nickel and dimed us to death when they are an old hotel that has had some trendy mid century artwork installed and a coat of pink paint.

Not my favorite

I booked a balcony room and my balcony was right next to the HVAC system, so I couldn't sit outside for 2 reasons...the noise and the HVAC view. My room didn't get a refill of the coffee packets when cleaned. I called the front desk the night before and they told me they would let housekeeping know first thing in the morning. Nothing showed up so I called again in the morning. Never did get my coffee. No food or drink in the restaurant between 11-4 and not much around to make up for it. I stayed at the Graduate in Nashville and it was great, so was a bit disappointed with this one.

They have a sewer line that runs along the restaurant in this hotel that according to the staff backs up all the time and smells like a dirty toilet. They just said it happens all the time and hopefully it'll be better later.

Benefit of the doubt because I've stayed a dozen times prior without issue. This time I was put in a room the smelled like a smoking room although they are a nonsmoking property. I asked for air freshener, which they provided, but no apology or offer to switch my room or comp a breakfast or something. I stuck it out since it was a short stay. Then I received a parking citation because the person who checked me in was supposed to ask for my vehicle plate info but didn't. The fee was waived but again no apology. The gal actually acted like it was my fault for not supplying the plate info but how would I know that I'm supposed to without a prompt at check in?! I'll stay again because it's near my family & walkable to where I like to go but they'll likely only get one more chance.

Cute place to stay

We chose Graduate because of its proximity to our venue. The bathroom was a bit small, and not fully stocked for our stay, but other than that we were pleasantly surprised. The room was cute and comfortable. The front desk staff was friendly and did their best to be helpful.
