The entire bar/restaurant staff off December 24 and December 25. When I booked the hotel, I thought there was going to be breakfast available in the restaurant unfortunately the staff wasn’t there and of course all the restaurants were closed nearby. This was very inconvenient. A test. The staff was very inconsistent the 24th 25th and 26th of December. I don’t know that I would stay there again.

This is my third time staying at this Graduate location. While this property is so nice and convenient, this time it lacked the five-star status I usually give. The rooms are needing an update, carpet is old, stains on the sofa, bathroom floor was absolutely filthy. The safe in my room didn't work as well. Might I also suggest complimentary coffee. Charge what you will for the night and offer that for your guests. No one wants to be bothered with paying for a coffee. I will say that the ladies at the front desk were wonderful and friendly. I will of course stay again when I visit.
