The hotel was nice, but definitely had a couple areas for improvement. I travel for work very often and can be forgiving on some things but the cleanliness of the bathroom needs some help. There was dirt caked in the corners of the wall and shower. It was very noticeable. My biggest complaint was the room itself. I’ve stayed at The Graduate hotels twice before and this was very disappointing. The room was missing all the neat, little things that make it a Graduate. There weren’t any decorations like there was supposed to be. It just looked very empty. Almost like the person before me came in and took all the little mementos out. I’ve you’ve stayed at a Graduate, you know what I’m referring to. To me, it was just a regular room that I could have stayed anywhere. I go to Columbus often and I won’t stay here again. The East Lansing Graduate is much, much better.
This hotel was better than expected! We came into town for a convention and wanted to be as close as possible to the convention center. The stay was affordable (thanks to hotels.com), clean, and the staff was SO NICE. The rooms were a little small, but again, everything was so nice. I really liked how clean the bathrooms were. The beds were so comfortable!! The only thing I will say, is with the price of the stay, I do wish there was some sort of free breakfast included, $5 for a bagel with cream cheese was a little surprising. Overall great though!
Came into town for GalaxyCon very convenient to Convention center. Very friendly staff. Only downside was the $37 a night parking is a little steep but great service none the less.
The Hotel offered Valet Parking ONLY costing me $37 additional. The Bar was extremely overprice, but I'm glad I discovered "MIKE'S Bar" almost right next door. And "Bakersfield" across the street - DRINKS WERE 1/3 the cost.
The floor, in the room, was filthy. The end table was dirty. The window was disgusting.
Staff was very nice. Location was great. But.....upon arrival I was forced to use valet parking at $37/day. Not only was this very inconvenient, but it was an added expense to an already pricey room(double the price due to Michigan game)Also, I wanted to charge a coffee and muffin to my room and was told I can ONLY do that if I'm an Honors member. Never have I been told that at a Graduate property. We also wanted a coffee and Baileys after a long day of being in the cold and were told they dont have coffee at the bar at 4pm. The room was nice but very small with not alot of room for 2 suitcases and 3 people. The tv also froze up alot. We stay at Graduate Columbia alot, this property needs a little fine tuning to make it on par with that location.
