We had a good overall stay at the Graduate in Tempe. The staff were really friendly and welcoming, which we appreciated right away. The hotel was clean, though it does feel a bit worn in places and could use some updating. Our room was a bit tight for a family of four, and the AC unit was very loud, which made sleeping a little challenging. On the plus side, the pool was great and definitely a highlight, especially with how hot it gets in Phoenix. All in all, a solid stay with a few drawbacks, but the friendly service and pool made a difference.

This property is a little run down, and my room was missing key components like a luggage rack, tv remote etc. Then after housekeeping service they did not refill the coffee nor did they give me a new bath mat after they took all the towels. The food in the restaurant was so-so. Front desk was very nice however.

Wasn't what i expected. The graduate in Tucson was so nice. I thought all graduates were the same standard. The one man black hair was very very very nice. The young lady was helpful but the older body girl with blond hair was so unpleasant. And the rooms have a kinda bad smell. And no microwave or refrigerator.

I really dislike leaving bad reviews, but I have to. This hotel felt like a glorified Motel 6. The room smelled musty and almost like minor water damage. Pictures are not very accurate. The "view" room we had on the 4th floor overlooked some backyards. There are 2 light fixtures on the mirror that are for show only. Had to pay an additional $15 just to park in the parking lot. And wifi was terrible. Will not waste my money here again.
