Wonderful

We had a very enjoyable stay. The front desk staff were very helpful and pleasant. The valet parking attendants were courteous but we did not have to use our car at all during our stay since the location is within walking distance of most places on the UW Campus. The rooms were small but clean and comfortable and had everything that we needed. I loved the decor of the rooms, lobby, and the rooftop bar/ restaurant. We would definitely chose to stay here again!
This hotel is amazing! I would definitely stay here again. The themed experience was hands down the best, plus the rooftop bar was like taking a walk down memory lane!
Perfect location - also rode complimentary bikes around campus and to breakfast! Valet out front for easy parking. Walk to state street and memorial union lakefront. Fun stay with decor etc.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The Graduate is fortunate that they have a fantastic location, because the hotel itself is run down and badly needs a renovation. The lobby and rooms badly need to be upgraded, and I imagine the owners could then get top dollar.
Cut decorations, very helpful night desk clerk, Bar area is super cute but was understaffed and out of many food options and drink options, bartender was super nice and did the best he could under the circumstances; Room was clean.
Small but clean room. The downstairs sitting area was full of students studying, even at 10pm and the rooftop bar closed at 9pm so we didn’t get a chance to try out.
Check in staff and valet staff were super friendly and helpful. Not my favourite Graduate stay but still good!
