Great service in a nice hotel in downtown Richmond
Pros:

I was in Richmond on business and needed a hotel in downtown with access to The Fan and Museum district. A friend recommended Graduate and it was great. Perfect location, rooms are nice and the restaurant is really good (for both breakfast AND lunch). Miranda took great care of me at the restaurant

Friendly staff, home environment, great amenities
Pros:

Love this place. I usually come here every week and I keep coming back because of the staff and their bar tenders know what they’re doing - great cocktails. Don’t stay anywhere else for the money - amazing value

They’re always accommodating and make sure I get taken care of. Shout out to Chiquita and the bartenders for always being accommodating and taking care of me!
