I am a designer from the same mold as whom ever designs the Graduate hotels. I just love seeing all the creativity. I’ve now stayed at the Eugene, OR, Seattle, WA and the Berkeley sites.
Love, love them!!!
Really nice, comfortable hotel. Great vibe with lots of seating in the lobby to hang out. Every staff member we encountered was really nice. Very walkable and the perfect choice for getting to a show at the Greek Theater. Lots of places to eat nearby too. The only concern could be parking, but we scored a spot in front of the hotel, which was super convenient. I would definitely stay at The Graduate again!!
