Stay somewhere else
Hotel was ok. Bathroom was old and dirty. Tile was unacceptably gross.
Carpet in room was old gross and wrinkled.
My shower failed this morning as I was running out the door. No cold water so it was basically no pressure of scalding hot water. Could not shower before my business meeting today will not be back to this property.

This hotel looks very dated with the low ceilings so it felt a little claustophic in the hallways. My room didn't have any hand soap by the sink so I had to reach into the shower when I needed to wash my hands. There was extremely limited counter space, but it did have some shelves to put items on which helped eliminate the problem.
I ate dinner in the onsite restaurant on Friday evening. The food was delicious but it was pretty pricey for a side salad and 2 taquitos ($25.00) There was only one person working both the bar and table tops so the poor girl was running like crazy. The live singer was nice to sit and listen to while eating dinner.

Great location. We love staying there. Wonderful customer service. They go above and beyond. Carpet in room was old and wearing out so they need to probably replace. Comfortable beds and daily room cleaning was nice.

Meh
The stay was decent overall. The room was clean, but the hotel could improve by offering more amenities like a complimentary coffee bar or free bottled water. Additionally, I found the beds to be a bit uncomfortable.

Outdated hotel. It needs a lot of work.
Hotel needs to do some serious renovations and upgrades. Shower only has hot water and when trying to get it cooler goes to cold. No in between. The pipes were loud. No phone outlets. Only 2 accessible outlets for plugs only. Shampoo/conditioner was low. Told front desk but they never came to refill them. Restaurant has poor service and food menu is not appealing. Tables needed to be clean. Will not go there again.

The front desk staff is very helpful and kind. Room is nice. Liked Mailin + Goetz products very much. Second day of my stay the cleaning was nos made entirely (missing water, coffee service refills and my bed was not made only superficially). I loved the blanket flag

The hotel needs a once over. We love Graduate Hotels in general but this one was tired, AC was mediocre and the elevator broke down. It is right next to the dorm we were moving our freshman into and was super handy that way. Staff was lovely as well but there are better options until the give this one a once over.

The A/C blows directly onto the bed. Room is way too small. Furniture is damaged and worn. Bad caulking in the bathroom. A single towel of each only. There was a mini wine bottle from the previous guest on the floor under the desk. The elevator was beat up and smelled. I would not recommend this property!
