We love the Graduate Hotel. Stayed here many times and keep coming back. The only knock this time was they are replacing the A/C system so we had a window A/C unit that kicked the power out multiple times. But they had lemonade and ice cream treats available all weekend in exchange for the inconvenience. But by now, the new A/C system should be in and the hotel will be all for the better!
