The Graduate was a very nice property with excellent staff. My only complaint was road noise, which was expected as it is on the corner of atherton and beaver. Would recommend the hotel.

Some good, some bad. The hotel has a great location that can’t be beat. Parking is easy and available. The decor and aesthetic is great. The hotel is noisy. There is garbage pickup at 6 am on Saturday plus you can hear the neighboring rooms conversations. The bathroom and rooms need updating. The side tables were broken and the shower pressure is low.
