Graduate was the perfect hotel for our campus visit to ASU. It’s got cool retro style, friendly staff and a convenient little restaurant. We were able to walk to campus and there is ample parking in an easy access lot for when we needed our car. Also, Graduate has a distinct “Newstalgia” fragrance in the lobby that’s smells peaceful and wonderful. We bought a candle at the desk so we could take the scent home with us.
