I'm really glad I spent a pretty penny on staying here cause it's worth every cent. From the moment I stepped into the hotel the staff were friendly and my room was comfortable. Seriously, the staff are always so courteous and helpful every time I had a question. And the room, my gosh the decor in this room is better than the pictures. The only minor nitpick was getting into the parking garage, but as mentioned earlier the staff were kind and patient with me, really appreciate it. Highly recommend the Graduate, it's worth the money and I'd stay here again if I travel to Columbia!

I loved the motif of this hotel. It was so colorful and fun. The bed was so comfortable and it was so quiet we slept in every morning (which we never do)! We did not get daily maid service. Perhaps we were supposed to ask for it. We also asked for our safe to be fixed and were not told until day 4 that it was not fixable and they are discontinuing that service. The front desk and bar staff were super friendly and accommodating! Overall, a great experience and we would stay again.

Very surprised that coffee was not complimentary as is in almost any hotel these days and in the room only instant coffee was offered. Also disappointed that I could not login into my own tv apps like Netflix, etc. The tv system was not good.

We recently stayed to move our son into Columbia Hall for his freshman year. The location and convenience can't be beat!! The Graduate Hotel is really cute, the bar/restaurant area and lounges both indoor and outdoor are great. The hotel is on the older side and in particular the bathrooms show it. The rooms were also very humid, so our bedding and Kleenex were always a little damp. We had to shove our bathroom door to close it. The grout needed to be redone. Overall, we will probably stay again due to the convenience, but would love for them to do some updates to the rooms.
