It was Fabulous!!! Especially Lawrence!
My husband and I travel a lot for work and we generally try to avoid the boring, generic, corporate environment that most hotels offer. BUT the *GRADUATE* was such a refreshing and playful change. Lawrence was the most awesome host, he made us feel like family.

Wonderful stay!
Wonderful trip! Mr. Lawrence helped us tremendously at check in and was very friendly! Fiona's had delicious food and drinks, and we felt comfortable bringing our kids (if you have kids, you know some hotels/restaurants aren't super kid friendly). Room was clean and the kids loved the bunk beds. This was our second time staying here and we will definitely be back.

Great place to stay
Very fun, clean, and convenient place to stay. Safe area to stay with kids with parking on site. Hotel was very colorful and lots of things to see. Beds seemed sorter than normal if you are tall, but otherwise wonderful. Would highly recommend.

Elevator issue
I always have a great stay at this hotel, but the elevator was out. It would have been nice if they notified us and options to get down. Housekeeping shared the service elevator which never came. Had to take stairs with all luggage.
