Wasn't what i expected. The graduate in Tucson was so nice. I thought all graduates were the same standard. The one man black hair was very very very nice. The young lady was helpful but the older body girl with blond hair was so unpleasant. And the rooms have a kinda bad smell. And no microwave or refrigerator.

I really dislike leaving bad reviews, but I have to. This hotel felt like a glorified Motel 6. The room smelled musty and almost like minor water damage. Pictures are not very accurate. The "view" room we had on the 4th floor overlooked some backyards. There are 2 light fixtures on the mirror that are for show only. Had to pay an additional $15 just to park in the parking lot. And wifi was terrible. Will not waste my money here again.

Great staff but the property itself is worn and tired. This Graduate property needs some fresh new paint, up keep and some minor repairs. I have been to other Graduate properties that are in really nice condition. This one is not but the staff was super friendly and helpful.
