오래된 건 그렇다쳐도 청소 상태가 너무 별로였어요. 방에 먼지가 많고 화장실 욕조가 막혔더군요. 살면서 이런저런 호텔 많이 가봤지만 새로 체크인한 방 욕조가 이물질로 막힌 건 처음 봤네요. 접근성 아니었으면 다음부턴 여기서 안 지낼 것 같아요. 하얏트 플레이스 깨끗해요 추천함

The Graduate Ann Arbor is an older historic building with charm. No it's not a 5 star hotel, but it's not just a 4 star either. It is a limited service hotel with valet, luggage service, on site restaurant, gym, and nice public areas.
It does not have room service nor a spa or pool.
Valet parking and private parking garages are available. This is a must as parking is at a premium in Ann Arbor.
Rooms are renovated and the theme of the decor is nice, historic, and a little whimsical featuring old University of Michigan nostalgia.
My daughter and I stayed in one of the queen bed suites which had two queen beds and a small extra room with couch and additional TV.
The room was clean.
Bathroom was on the smaller side, but to be expected given the historic building.
Overall satisfactory although some wear and tare was observed on the wall in the bonus sitting room.
Front desk, valet, and restaurant staff was pleasant and engaging going a little above the mark for service. Front desk was accommodating of some requests and I genuinely got the impression they cared that my stay was worry free and enjoyable.
It was an enjoyable stay and I would stay there again.
Just keep in mind the rooms are a little smaller, parking is at a premium, and getting a slightly larger room such as the queen suite may be necessary if you need more space to unwind.

The staff were friendly and helpful. The property was clean and decorated in a college theme. There were plenty of outlets and usb ports for charging. Valet parking was quick. There were lots of restaurants within walking distance

My student accommodation closed two days before my flight so I had to find a place to stay. So glad I chose Graduate, my stay was perfect in every aspect. The front desk girl let me borrow the charger when my phone died, and Lita at brunch is super warm and friendly.
