Great Stay in the Heart of Campus!
Centrally located on the University of Minnesota Twin Cities campus, this hotel is perfect for visitors wanting easy access to campus facilities and public transport. Onsite dining includes restaurants and a Starbucks, with fast food options just steps away. Rooms are well appointed with super comfy beds, and the gym is impressively equipped—ideal for traveling athletes. Highly recommend!

Loved everything! This was our first stay at a Graduate property and I was really impressed by every detail to connect to the university and city. The lobby was so unique…games to play, quiet spaces, cozy seating…just the best. The food at the restaurant was great and offered many choices. We ate dinner and breakfast there and both were awesome. The staff was so good. Well done Graduate!

Excellent stay for out son's dive meet. The Staff was excellent, friendly and quite fast. We had small toilet issue and it was fixed 10 min later. Having Starbucks, Chick-fil-a attached to the hotel is very nice. The hotel restaurant, Beacon Public House was also excellent. Food was a lot better that we expected!
