    The hotel was a great stay. Staff was cordial and went out of their way to care for my needs. Tyler and Ryan were excellent at check in and out. The room was very comfortable for my stay. If coming to Tempe again I would stay here!

    It’s truly a gem of a place. I was very impressed not only with the location, but also with the hospitality and overall atmosphere. Ryan was top-notch, incredibly welcoming, and went above and beyond by personally checking on the electric vehicle charging station for me.

    Terrible breakfast. Basically the only hot item was the bartender going over to the grab n go, grabbing a frozen Jimmy Dean Sausage Egg and Cheese biscuit, and proceeding to absolutely burning the heck out of it on a Turbo Chef oven. The rooms were nothing special. TV remote was out of battery. The food is just bad. They look like they used to have a restaurant before but closed it down. Now all you have is the bar area that has as small kitchen.

    I have to shout out to this staff and property. I’ve stayed at the Graduate many, many times over the years for work and I love it. The rooms are clean and serviceable, most with balconies, and can’t beat the location for university proximity. Also good for longish stays (tv/hdmi, convenient outlets, yadda yadda). Excellent mid/high level hotel. I wish the restaurant downstairs were open later, but great bar and food place til 10 most nights off the pool with cute outdoor seating and fire tables. Had to move rooms for a me-thing, and the front desk team took care of it in spades. As someone who travels every week, this was all greatly appreciated. Thanks 🙏
