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.

Asked for my credit card after the stay

Had a nice stay. Paid via Hotels.com and had a credit on file for incidentals. A few hours after I left someone who claimed to be from the hotel called and asked for my credit card again. Seemed very shady and I am kinda reluctant to go back.
