7
Mixed reports: some guests found rooms clean, but multiple mentions of mildew in bathrooms, broken fixtures, and inconsistent housekeeping lowered the score.

8.5
Staff frequently described as friendly, pleasant, and accommodating; however there were several service lapses (inconsistent housekeeping, room key/lock issues) and slow responses in some cases.
Location
9
Consistently praised: central, walkable downtown location close to restaurants, shops, and transit — a clear strength.
Room Quality
8.5
Rooms often described as large, comfortable, and uniquely decorated with very comfortable beds, but some bathrooms are dated and need renovation.

Mixed amenities: on-site large bar/restaurant and coffee spot are positives, but guests noted no valet, no lobby bar, parking confusion, and limited in-hotel guest facilities.
Value for Money
7.5
Good location and distinctive decor offer value, but maintenance and inconsistent housekeeping led some guests to question value at the current prices.

7.5
On-site restaurant and coffee spot received positive mentions, but lack of included breakfast options and no dedicated guest drink stations were common complaints.
Overall Experience
9
Overall positive and memorable for many guests—quirky, photogenic property with strong location and comfortable rooms—tempered by sporadic maintenance and housekeeping issues.

We will definitely stay at the graduate again. The accommodations were great and the room was beautiful and comfortable.
Pros:

The property is absolutely beautiful. The unit we stayed in had two king beds and a separate living area. The decor was amazing. The bed was so incredibly comfortable and the shades kept the light out to the bedroom is dark. We would definitely visit again. And liked it so much that we will be looking at The Graduate hotels, and other cities.

Cons:

We pretty much liked everything about the property. They even have a little bar area with a pool table where we were able to watch the World Cup. The coffee spot downstairs was good.
