Across from ASU Gammage theater, which was so convenient for seeing a show and then getting up early to get to the airport. Front desk staff were the fastest ever at checking me in. Parking was additional, and I wish I could have just added it to my bill. Room was clean and I appreciated the neighborhood view vs the busy road.

Pretty cool spot. Great location. Nice staff. Clean spacious rooms. A bit pricey but not really if you consider the quality and the market prices for much lower quality hotels, this one is a step up in price but 3 steps up in quality. Nice pool area.

I like they are saving saving resources by not having microwave and coffee appliances in the room, but they didn't reduce the price - LOL. We didn't realize a microwave is one the floor by the ice. Make a note of it. The beds we had were queen size and SUPER COMFORTABLE. 💯 Parking is extra - Bummer.

Great staff but the property itself is worn and tired. This Graduate property needs some fresh new paint, up keep and some minor repairs. I have been to other Graduate properties that are in really nice condition. This one is not but the staff was super friendly and helpful.
