"(note: this is my Yelp Review as well)
Wow, love this hotel. It's an older hotel, completely renovated though. The shower fixture was a lil flimsy? AC was a little hard to balance, woke up the first morning and it was freezing in my room! That's it for the "bad" stuff, no joke.
The lavatory faucet was very stout and stylish. The bathroom and sleeping area was super clean. Towels were amazing. The bed wasn't too soft, had a nice balance. (i normally hate hotel beds) Bar was very cool. Didn't try the restaurant but had a nice menu. TV good. Has a room safe and refrigerator. Super clean halls, elevator, main floor. Great decor. Very smartly designed.
Overall, the vibe of this hotel was ultra cool. Laid back, but with a groovy couture! Very modern south to me.
The price and location can not be beat. 7 minutes from University of Arkansas driving. 2 minutes from the main bar/restaurant district. The Theater is right around the corner. Very reasonable price.
Finally, the staff was so amazing. From the door person, to the folks behind the front desk. i was in/out for 3 days, every one was smiling and friendly and super helpful.
Overall, this isn't a brand new, super elegant hotel. The Graduate is a very well done, elevated hotel experience with an awesome staff and great location. Highly recommend. 6-Stars."
