I needed a hotel for the night for business that needed to be in the downtown area for a night and the Graduate was the perfect choice. Great location, nice price, clean comfy rooms, and all of staff was incredibly friendly. And a nice little cafe that I took advantage of. If the Omni & the small luxe boutique hotels aren't in your budget, Graduate is the perfect choice.

My sons both play for UVAs soccer team and I came to C’Ville to watch the match and catch up on how they were doing. I stayed at the Graduate and I’m so glad I did. They made me feel at home. Everyone wanted to know my name. They wanted to remember how I liked my coffee. They remembered I only like decafe in the room and they also knew I keep later hours and put me in a room where there was not much foot traffic in the morning. When I asked them about hiking, I was not only told the name of a good hike and how to get there, they advised me in detail of what they have discover to be the best way to enjoy so much about the trail itself and it made all the difference. I am grateful to all the friendly loving staff at the Graduate. They truly care about people.
