Thanks guys for the perfect getaway. Upon our arrival we were greeted by two of the most kindest gentleman. Opening our doors to handling our luggage. Making sure we knew how your valet system works. Ras and Dwayne were what we were looking for and more. Entering the hotel and meeting your staff and seeing how clean your hotel was. If I had to say something that was off was your elevators. They took some time getting up and down. Overall great experience. We cannot wait to return in August.
Thanks for hustling Raz (valet, apologies if I’m misspelling). You have been booking it all day!
Very clean and modern
No microwave in room
You often come across people that truly care and love where they work so props up to Cherelle. She’s a keeper. Take care of her or someone else will take her.
This was the best trip ever and in no small part due to the wonderful staff we met during our stay. A highlight was our valet Ras, who recognized us on subsequent days after meeting us and was always so friendly and kind, keeping us updated on the status of our vehicle and making sure we had all the information we needed. When we’re back in town we will definitely be back to The Graduate!
From start to finish Dwayne pretty much held my hand. From valet to helping with my belongings. I later came downstairs for a bite to eat and he guided me on great restaurants in the area. I chose Lily Pearl. I won’t get to see him when I check out but tell the staff that he’s a keeper.
Very friendly staff. Lovely room that was clean and well furnished. Very comfortable bed.
The shower was very small. The valet parking was efficient but expensive.
$15 for a half pour of white wine. When I mentioned to the bartender that it was not a full pour she got very angry,
Nice location and building was nice
No greetings.
I must say the stay was great! Amazing food, vibes, and service! Huge shout out to Vicky at the front desk for her amazing hospitality and helpful advice! (:
I’ve stayed at multiple Graduate hotels, they are actually one of my favorite branded hotels. This one like the others typically has higher end finishes and are nicely decorated for less of a hotel feel and more of a homey feel.
This particular location seemed slightly less cared for than others I’ve stayed in. It was Memorial Day weekend and we (like other guests) were in town for a tournament-so the hotel was fully booked. But there was trash in the lobby from kids playing in the game area, adults loudly gathered in the front area, the hotel lobby/check-in wasn’t a large area so I think it just felt crowded and cramped every-time I was down there. Valet area is also small so that gets crowded too-valet hustled though so kudos to them.
While very specific to our stay-our room 1005 upon entering smelled like someone had smoked two packs of cigarettes in the room with windows closed. I went downstairs immediately to see if we could switch rooms but due to being at full capacity they could not move us unless our family split up and I was not putting a minor child in a room alone. They were kind and offered to bring a machine in to help try to fix the smell but I can’t imagine that would help too much.
A few more items to note, the bathroom was TINY. Like a closet. If you are someone tall, headspace may be an issue. The TV has 38 channels-good luck finding much to watch. Surprising that this day and age, in a nice hotel they don’t have any smart TVs to connect to any streaming apps. I’m not typically a TV snob but I feel like for the price, upgraded TVs aren’t too far of a reach.
All in all it wasn’t terrible, but I likely wouldn’t stay again.
Location and decor
They don’t mention the pet fee anywhere when booking. So to have a 75$ fee sprung on you at check in was quite unpleasant.
Cherelle was great! We sat in the bar for a few cocktails. She got creative and created a cocktail just for me and engaged in conversation. I highly recommend booking a stay in you’re in the Richmond area.
Cherelle at the bar in the Graduate Hotel was absolutely amazing! She brought such a fun and welcoming energy to the atmosphere and made the entire experience memorable. She even created a custom cocktail for my boss that was hands down one of the best drinks I’ve ever had. You can tell she truly loves what she does and goes above and beyond for her guests. If you’re at the Graduate, definitely stop by and see Cherelle!
