Not great
This hotel is very noisy as if the walls are paper thin. Bed was very uncomfortable as well.

There was no internet for nearly my entire stay, which is why I rated the property condition 3 stars.
Otherwise, this is the 3rd time we stay at the Graduate. Nice hotel, convenient locations, staff always friendly and accommodating!

not very warm but does the job.
The front desk people are not welcoming or warm. I felt like I was bothering them when I asked about room service and even when I checked in and out. The valet people are super nice and helpful although I have a minor dent on my driver's side door. The room was very well decorated, the bed was comfortable. You can really tell that the hotel is animal friendly because theres no way they can get out all the dog hair. I was wearing black leggings one day and I noticed a lot of dog hair on them after sitting on the couches and bed. Overall a comfortable stay.

Staff were nice. Rooms are old and outdated. Nevertheless seen duch a small bathroom sink. It was so tiny, you couldn’t bring anything normal bathroom items such as toothpaste, razor and such.
Wallpaper was pealing away. Very few electrical outlets.
Storage for clothes was ridiculous. Situated so low to the ground that if you hung up suit pants or even a belt they were laying on the ground.
More Holiday Inn than Hilton.

Poor Service and Fire Alarm Was set off at 2:30am
Check in process took very long. Fire Alarm went off at 2:30am on Thursday night until 3:30am. Front desk was run poorly. The employees were unprofessional. Other rooms were very loud as well after hours.

Great hotel
This is probably our 4 or 5 time staying here, and it’s always a great experience. Rooms are large and comfy, bathrooms clean and solid water temp/pressure. We enjoy the rooftop bar and the staff are always very professional and helpful. Recommend to anyone visiting Richmond (and perfect location for VCU parents)
