wayne, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

OK

While the room was nice and the staff great, the mattress was soft and uncomfortable. Also, the pillows were hard, way oversized and largely useless. The air conditioner in our room was so loud it felt like we slept next to an aircraft. Modern air conditioning is quiet, but these are old and need replacing.
Lawrence, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Elevator issues

Free coffee/tea in the lobby would have been nice. Elevator issue - only 1 of 3 working. Used the stairs for our 5th floor rooom.

Great location! Easy check in and out. Helpful employees.
Seneca, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

I stay at The Graduate Richmond once or twice a month, and have stayed in several different rooms over the past 2 years. They're very clean, and most of the rooms are comfortable. But for the room price, hotel age, and location, I haven't seen much consistency in the condition of the room I have been put up in, specifically w.r.t. bathrooms (updated vs aging and cfackign at the edges, or lacking aome key supplies) and upkeep of room amenities. Since I mostly just care about the bed and the quiet, I keep coming back. Hence the 4/5 stars.
Shruti, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Good value for downtown Richmond

Very comfortable beds, crisp clean sheets & 3 pillows on queens. Bathroom immaculate. Staff friendly & helpful. Valet parking was prompt. Wooden coin at check-out for free coffee. Roof top bar was a plus!

Great location!

4/10 Fair

Not great

Hotel is not in good condition. Bed lumpy and old, tv broken, shower has terrible water pressure. Feels more like a motel than an hotel.
