I have stayed at two other Graduate locations and like those staff was wonderful and out going and the vibe was fun and relaxed. However, this is an older property that appears to have been re-fabbed to become a Graduate. I expected a lot and I found pealing paint and wall paper throughout the facility. It was still a great time, and was very child friendly for my little. But was a little less put together than I am used to with this brand.
