I had a fantastic experience at this hotel! The vintage style was charming, and the bed was the most comfortable I've ever slept in. The view of Athens was lovely, and the staff were super accommodating. However, I wasn't thrilled about the $10 parking fee, which seemed a bit steep for my taste.

I had a wonderful time at The Graduate for a wedding event. The overall experience was superb, with top-notch service and a great atmosphere. However, I did encounter some minor drawbacks, such as a musty smell in the room and the absence of in-room coffee makers, which was a bit inconvenient. Overall, I felt it was a good value for the memorable experience.

We chose this hotel for its pet-friendly policy, which is crucial for our special needs cat. The staff was warm and accommodating, making our early check-in smooth, and the room was clean and inviting. However, some amenities were lacking, including a properly functioning A/C and basic kitchenware. Overall, while we enjoyed our stay and appreciated the service, some aspects left us wanting more.

The Graduate Athens is a wonderful venue, especially for special events like anniversaries. I had a fantastic experience celebrating Mother's Day with my mom, thanks to the attentive and caring staff. The room was comfy and clean, complete with fluffy towels. However, the layout of the property can be a bit confusing, especially for first-time guests. Overall, it offers great value for money with its accommodating service and good facilities.

I found this hotel to have a unique charm with its quirky decor, and the staff were genuinely friendly and helpful throughout my stay. However, I was disappointed by the noise levels and the musty smell in the room, which detracted from the overall experience. The location was decent but not as close to campus as I had hoped. The value for money was fair, but the comfort of the room could be improved.
