The Graduate is a wonderful place to stay in Berkeley due to its great location near cool places for dining, spacious rooms, and friendly service. However, some improvements are needed for the rooms to be more comfortable for multiple occupants.

7.0/10

The hotel is bursting with nostalgic charm and is perfectly located right by the Berkeley campus. The rooms are beautifully decorated in a kitschy school theme, making for a cozy stay. While the service was friendly and helpful, there were some basic shortcomings. The location is unbeatable for visits to UC Berkeley, offering a vibrant and festive atmosphere. The dining options, though simple, were somewhat disappointing. The facilities are decent with some room for improvement.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were incredibly hot, and the controls didn't seem to work well, though they were decent overall. The bathroom lacked storage space, but there was a loud portable air conditioner provided. The service was really nice, offering a complimentary continental breakfast in a cute front room. The hotel valued repeat guests with discounts. The location was convenient, being central and quiet, especially for those visiting the Berkeley campus. The dining experience was simple but delicious, with pastries and fresh-squeezed juices available. Despite some drawbacks, my overall impression was positive due to the helpful service and great location.
