Pros:

整體週邊環境很好，室內空間雖然舊但陳設蠻舒適

Cons:

*水管老舊，開熱水會發出轟鳴聲。
*沐浴乳沒有補充。
*我是訂不含早餐的住宿，但櫃台在入住時會主動給你breakfast voucher, 實際上是$15USD的早餐券，會讓旅客誤以為是免費的早餐券。

It was great, except no coffee in the lobby was mind boggling
Pros:

Everyone was very friendly

Cons:

It was the only hotel I’ve ever been in and I’ve been in many that did not have free coffee in the lobby or anywhere except bags in your room

Graduate by Hilton not really a Hillton touch.
Pros:

I did not know Graduate and I thought being by Hilton it was going to have more of a Hilton touch. I was expecting a little higher level of quality but in hinghsight it was pretty good for the price and the service.

Cons:

I thought there would be a microwave in the room but it was downstairs in the lobby. Also a drip coffee machine would be nice instead of instant coffee. There was an electric kettle but no tea.

Only adequate
Pros:

We did not have breakfast there. The location was fine. We did have light dinner two nights and the food and service were very good.

The pillows and towels were great and being able to open the slider versus use the noisy air conditioner was nice.

Cons:

I thought the decor was pretty bad - seemed very old and the lighting was poor - only one bedside lamp, for instance. The bathroom was really tiny with little counter space.

Pros:

Arrival was very good; friendly staffer. Helped with scanning system for parking.
Room was nice and cool when returning late in evening. AC is right next to bed and blowing on person sleeping on that side and making things uncomfortable cold and noisy. AC controller at wall did not have instruction on how to adjust fan speed. Door to controls on unit itself did not open.
The unit was kicking on/off every minute with frequent changes in fan speed. This meant, once you were used to noise level, it changed and the our nervous system had to adjust to a different condition. Very aggravating. After about 2 hours of trying to deal with it, I shut the entire unit off only to wake up very hot due to Arizona heat. I had to turn the unit on again and proceeded to build a wall between myself and that AC unit. Fitful sleep and aggravation and some anxiety-induced chest pain made for a bad night.
I took pictures in the morning. My total sleep duration I estimate at 3 hrs. No fun.
Positive: I talked to the desk person in the morning and informed him of the issue. He promised to take care it and talked to his manager. He called me at 13:33h today to inform me that his manager agreed to reverse the room charges.

My phone could not connect to the internet but my ipad was fine. It said it could not validate the server. I suggest adding more security.
