Great location and customer service

Pros and Cons. Pros: excellent customer service. Excellent location near UVA and The Corner. Walkable and close to restaurants. Beds are superior for comfort. Rooftop bar and restaurant were good. Good coffee in the lobby area. Cons: bathroom chrome handle came off the wall when used. Interiors and hallways/elevators are a bit dated. Getting our car from Valet using a QR code was not easy to do. Overall, our stay was positive.

convenient stay near UVA

I stay at the Graduate whenever I have meetings at the University of Virginia. Walking distant to campus, food, shops. Safe and usually quiet - only draw-back this visit was some low renovation noise during business hours.

The bathroom had not been updated in many many years. There were homeless people outside of the hotel sitting in the door frames. Not what I've experienced at any Graduate hotels ever.

Very clean, but the bed had no mattress cover. The rooftop bar and outdoor balcony are the best part of the hotel. Very friendly and welcoming staff.

Motorcycle friendly!

We were traveling on motorcycles so the Valet guy gave us a convenient place to park the bikes for easy access and in a covered area! The highlight for me was the rooftop bar and restaurant...caught a full rainbow after a major storm rolled thru!

Really poor experience sadly. Didnt have the type of room we booked when we arrived. Rooms are old and super dark/dingy and smell smoky. Have stayed in worse but given the price point a terrible value

The valet was rude and nasty. The air conditioning in our room did not maintain the temperature correctly. It would go on and the room temperature would be comfortable but as soon as the very noisy unit cycled off, it would be extremely uncomfortable in the room. The front desk staff was friendly, helpful, and polite. This is our go to hotel when visiting family in C'ville and had always been great, but not so much this stay.

They were not helpful at all and the restaurant’s service and food was awful. I went up the the restaurant and ordered food to take back to my room. Waited an hour and my food finally came out but I had to wait another 10 minutes for the dessert. When I got back to my room and opened it up the steak and fries were cold. The steak was one the toughest piece of meat I’ve had. Also, the server gave me little plastic silverware! Also the brownie was so hard and crunchy, the only thing I could eat was the melted ice cream. When I was done I went down to the lobby to get some water. I told the staff about my experience. He obviously didn’t care. He said that’s too bad and that will be $4.00 for your water. I will never stay there again! There was one person that was very helpful and friendly. He went out of his way to help me. He was the gentleman that was handling valet parking. Save some money and govdown the street to Marriott where they actually care about your experience!!!
