Love the Graduate. Sadly, the restaurant at this one compared to other Graduate properties is not great, the food was like a bad perkins, and the coffee was sad. It’s also not very well-kept. This is my first time here, been to the chain probably 10 times. The rooms are still terrific, the overall condition of this property is on thin ice.

The coffee in the room was horrible, tasted either very old or very cheap. No hot water the first morning, reception told us it was due to two hockey teams staying there but there was none the second morning also Windows not insulated well so heard all the hooting and hollering as the bars chucked out at 2am
