Perfect Location for Gammage Shows

The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The pool and pool area were quiet, clean, and relaxing. The location is right across the street from Gammage, so we were able to walk over to our show.

You can count on the Graduate to have friendly staff. The Tempe Graduate is near campus and has great amenities, onsite bar, restaurant, pool, hottub, parking. Beds are comfortable and love having a private balcony looking at orange trees

Overpriced dorm room

1 microwave per floor at the end of the hall, no shelves or counter space in the bath/shower/bathroom. Must pay for parking. Ónly restaurant offerings for breakfast.

Underwhelming

I was disappointed in the appearance of the hotel. The interior was dated and overall a cheap looking. The reception desk was quiet and staff was friendly.

Cute place to stay

We chose Graduate because of its proximity to our venue. The bathroom was a bit small, and not fully stocked for our stay, but other than that we were pleasantly surprised. The room was cute and comfortable. The front desk staff was friendly and did their best to be helpful.
Cynthia, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Would not stay again

Hotel is ok for passing thorugh although there are better options at lower prices, the graduate is outdated and not because of the theme but the establishment needs maintanance, the staff was indifferent but polite, would not stay again.

A parking fee?!?!

Room was clean but nothing that stood out. Out dated look and furniture layout. Bathroom needed the most updating with it feeling the least clean. What was the most disappointing part of the stay was that after paying a good amount for the room they charge an additional $15 to park in the parking every 24 hours. At least let me park for free if I’m going to be charged hundreds of dollars per night to stay there. However was conveniently located very close the ASU Gammage.
