It’s old and run down. It looks like everything is from a garage sale. It smells old. It doesn’t feel like a 4 star hotel at all.

This place has a nice hipster vibe going on. The property is dated but well kept and most importantly clean. It was generally comfortable with 4 pillows on the beds and then places to hookup usb directly to lamps by the bed which some hotels still don't provide. The rates were reasonable as well. all my interactions with the staff were good and finally the attached food hall has reasonably priced food options that to my taste buds were fine and killer lattes in the morning hours as well. I did not have a car so no idea about the parking situation as it it located right by the campus. Would stay again.

 ​❤️​ to “ It's a cute little RETRO boutique hotel. Rooms are tiny. Bed is good. Great towels!! We had breakfast and a late evening burger at their restaurant…DELICIOUS! Not a lot of menu choices but what we ate delicious. Parking is great. Nice pool. Three blocks our ultimate destination so convenient. Overpriced (not to bad) but they all are! Nice staff!!! All students it seemed. Great young people! We would stay again.  ”

Good stay for 1 night
Selected this hotel strictly based on location. Was attending a concert at ASU Gammage and it’s literally right across the street. Our stay was only for 1 night which was comfortable but if I was staying longer I would have chosen a different hotel. The room and bathroom were small, staff was nice, bar in the hotel had great drinks (did not try the food).

This hotel is extremely dated. I was given a room where the bathroom had not been cleaned from the last guests. Used soap, dirty towels, garbage overflowing, etc. They did move to me another room which was cleaner. The air conditioner blows directly on you while in bed, the plug on lamp does not work to charge your phone, and the carpets are filthy. Definitely skip this one.

Both men were very professional and polite. They were kind enough to upgrade me and gave me free parking for the night, which was very considerate. I enjoyed my stay there and would definitely book again!

You have to pay for parking, even though the parking lot is empty. And it didn’t state that anywhere. I had to walk in and kill 3 moths before even unloading my luggage. The shower head is gross. Broken tiles. There’s no shampoo. No trash in the room minus the small one in the bathroom. It’s a very disappointing experience.

Homebase for Taylor Swift concert.
Loved The Graduate Tempe. Is it an older hotel that was remodeled? Yes. Could it make a few improvements? Sure. Did I have a single issue over my 2 night stay? Nope. Was super comfortable for me and my teen daughter. I have Hotels.Com VIP Gold status and they honored free parking, upgrade, and late check-out. Room was spacious and clean. Nice balcony to sit and enjoy the weather. AC worked well but took me a minute to adjust for right temperature. Ample parking was available. 4th floor was quiet. I think only one elevator worked but never had to wait. One thing I would suggest improving is letting guests know about amenities available. I was told about breakfast availability (I would skip it) but not that there is a microwave on the floor which I could have used to warm up food. I had a few drinks in the bar around 9pm on a Friday and it was empty. Really good drinks and super nice bartender. 8 forgot to ask her name. The next mor.ing at breakfast the service was meh and the food was also meh. Convenience was only reason to eat there. No clue about shuttle since I had my car but did hear a few lobby conversations about inconvenience.

They have a small backyard that my medium/not super active English bulldog loved, plus offered pet dishes at check in. We had a great stay and would definitely return if in the area.

Had an excellent stay for an ASU visit. I’ve been to a few other Graduate hotels and they are among my favorite places to stay. The Tempe location is one of the oldest Graduate Hotels and it’s showing its age. The room decor and amenities are not quite up to the newer ones’ standards, however the service, staff, affordability, and location make up for that.

Really accommodating staff. I had a little problem at check-in and received a very noisy room next to a utility closet that had some sort of machine running. The staff seemed so overwhelmed that I didn't feel I wanted to go through the hassle of changing rooms. Plus the hotel was very full. I commented on my problem and the customer liason contacted me with several suggested solutions. I appreciated his attention and ended up with an overall positive impression of the hotel despite a rough start. Thanks for the free breakfast!

Great Vibe, Great Service, Good Value
Overall, we loved this place. We were referred here by locals we met while on vacation in Tempe. The staff is super friendly and ready to help with anything. The decor was fun and retro-modern, though parts of the room were looking well-used and a bit worn (missing hand rail in the elevator, bathroom door trim, peeling wallpaper, etc.). The Food Hall has a small menu, though everything was super tasty and the service was great. The bed pillows really are my only complaint...they just weren't very comfy. The location really can't be beat...convenient to the airport and everything downtown. Would stay here again.

The restaurant looked good and we would have liked to have eaten there but we had plans with some friends so missed it this time. Shuttle was offered but we didn't need it this time. The pool area and hot tub were lovely although too chilly this time of year to utilize. All in all a great stay. Thanks!

The stay was nice, staff very friendly, bed amazingly comfortable. My only negative comment is the coffee. I don't think I have every stayed in a hotel that did not have a pot of coffee in the lobby for guests. I understand there were coffee bags in the room, but they are very muddy tasting, did the trick for the morning cup, but I really enjoy a nice cup of coffee in the morning. Two out of the three mornings I was in line 10 to almost 15 minutes for just a cup of coffee and it was very frustrating. I suggest you look into a way to serve the guest that only want a cup of coffee a little quicker. Thank you.

Extremely dated, tired, run down and musty smelling. Walls had a very dirty appearance. Booked and paid for a King bed, got a queen, which was then not adjusted in price. We also had a “handicapped accessible” room. Believe me when I say they don’t mean easily accessible the “walk in” shower could not be accessed easily by a person in a wheelchair. While we weren’t there to watch TV, the TV did not work. Another couple in our party didn’t even have a remote for the TV in their room. There is no refrigerator & very little with regard to in-room or in-facilty amenities.
