It is a nice property, well located with respect to the University of Virginia. The hotel has only limited bar food at a rooftop bar. There are numerous food options within walking distance, but the majority are college average college fare - pizza, burgers, wings, etc. The Virginian - about a 5-minute walk - has some better options. The carpeting in the hotel is getting a bit old, but is kept vacuumed. We would stay there again!

Staff was friendly and very helpful. Great view from the rooftop.

Convenient location.

Never disappointed with The Graduate. Nice rooms. Super convenient location and walkable to everything

Expensive parking

Parking at hotel required a ticket that required using a machine that required your credit card. Took my credit card, put a charge on it but never delivered the ticket required to leave and enter parking lot. Wendy at the desk was wonderful but still had to call desk to have someone allow me to come and go with my car. Room was perfect. Location near the Corner was good. Again withoutWendy at the desk, the stay would have been very distressing .

Everything was great. Hotel room felt a bit worn and dirty. But everything else was great.

The hotel is charming, close to restaurants, coffee and shops. The rooftop deck is lovely and has a great view.

Location

The location of the hotel was convenience and the rooms and hotel was clean. The parking garage is attached to the hotel which is convenient. The front desk staff were not that impressive and could not offer any advice on restaurants or general questions about the area.

Nice place.

I booked this very last minute due to a family emergency and needing to be close to UVA hospital. Location was ideal. I didn’t have the luxury of time to research ahead of time, so it was unexpected to have to pay an extra $22/day to park my car. The entire parking system is just plain awful. You pay at a kios. My receipt ripped while printing. I didn’t think it was a big deal until the front desk said there was nothing they could do for me, redirected me to the valet, who directed me to call the help number on the screen, which was the number to the hotel. If booking through a 3rd party site such as Hotels.com front desk is extremely unhelpful in any situation. The hotel room was moderately clean. There was a broken lamp, plugs that didn’t work, and some of the art in the room appeared to have been defaced. I opted for the graduate as I had stayed another of their locations for a work conference and had a wonderful experience. I can promise that the only redeeming quality of this hotel was the distance to the hospital and local stores and restaurants, which I imagine is why it’s so much more expensive that other hotels in the area. Be warned, there is no complimentary coffee or tea, unless you like the instant granulated left in your room with a tea kettle. Completely unimpressed. Would not recommend unless you needed the location.

Good location for UVa meetings. Overall, the hotel seemed a bit worn, but when on business by myself, I only care that the hotel is clean and safe, since most of the time I'm there, I'm asleep. The Graduate staff was courteous and friendly, and the overall experience was good.

Great location Creatively decorated space!

We loved staying at the Graduate for our first visit to Charlottesville. Our only complaint was that the light bulb in the bathroom was out making the lighting a little dim and the shower didn’t have a place to put shower necessities like a washcloth or toiletries. Our AC didn’t get quite get as cold as we like but Nothing major at all! It was clean, the staff and valet were friendly and felt historical and cozy.

The character of the hotel was very comfortable and fun! The time that was taken to decorate the hotel was very much appreciated. The roof top bar, restaurant and sitting area was a great way to end our evening. Staff were very friendly. We hope to be back.

We enjoyed our stay

I liked the fact it was themed and tastefully decorated. It gave the place character. Staff were great. Coffees were excellent. Rooftop bar was perfect. One slight minus is that the table tennis table could have had better paddles and more balls.

Great service at the front desk and valet. We enjoyed the trophy room and rooftop balcony also.

Great location next to the U of Virginia. Quirky hotel with maybe some minor issues (like the quality of pillows). Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would stay here again.

Nice place a little worn for the price they charge. Felt it was a great hotel, but at $300+ a night it was a bit pricey for what it was. Of it were $200 gove or take wouldnt have had an issue. But it was the cute and quirky boutique vibeI had hoped for and the room was clean and well appointed.

Hotel was okay. Restaurant had limited options, but decent food and good service. Next to some dining options with short walk. Convenient to UVA.

I have a great stay. My only complaint was that the AC wouldn't cool the room very well. Other than that everything was great.

Excellent location next to UVA to come and visit

Friendly staff, excellent amenities

Very nice hotel. Very convenient to the Lawn. Love the roof top bar and restaurant.

The shower door was not properly installed- one door could not be moved. The shower drain grate was loose and askew. There was mold on the bathroom caulk. There were no drawers to store clothes-just an empty cabinet. The restaurant was poor with limited food options.

Loved it

Only one time they made one bed.

Convenient and close to everything. Friendly staff

Loved the decor - an eclectic variety of artwork and furnishings that made the space unique. Close to lots of great things in downtown Charlottesville.

The shower was very small and hard to regulate the temperature in the room using the thermostat. Couldn’t seem to get it just right. Either was too hot or too cold. Didn’t see any instructions on to contact the front desk if needed. There was no microwave in my room. Size of the room was very nice and the staff was friendly.
