“Even though the AC was out during our stay, the staff was incredibly nice and very accommodating. The hotel itself was clean and welcoming, with games available for kids to enjoy. There are plenty of food options nearby, and it’s just a short drive to multiple downtown areas and activities in Minneapolis. Overall, a very nice hotel and great experience.”

Loved everything! This was our first stay at a Graduate property and I was really impressed by every detail to connect to the university and city. The lobby was so unique…games to play, quiet spaces, cozy seating…just the best. The food at the restaurant was great and offered many choices. We ate dinner and breakfast there and both were awesome. The staff was so good. Well done Graduate!
