Lovely stay in quirky hotel

The Graduate is a lovely property right by USC. The decor is very quirky and makes you feel like you have walked into a mix of a dorm and a dolls house. The room was spacious and very clean. The bath/shower was a bit tired, which was a little disappointing, as the rest of the bathroom and the bedroom looked fairly new. The bed was incredibly comfortable. Overall, it was great value, very pleasant, in an unbeatable location and, quite possibly, the best place to stay in Columbia, so I would come back!

I'm really glad I spent a pretty penny on staying here cause it's worth every cent. From the moment I stepped into the hotel the staff were friendly and my room was comfortable. Seriously, the staff are always so courteous and helpful every time I had a question. And the room, my gosh the decor in this room is better than the pictures. The only minor nitpick was getting into the parking garage, but as mentioned earlier the staff were kind and patient with me, really appreciate it. Highly recommend the Graduate, it's worth the money and I'd stay here again if I travel to Columbia!

I loved the motif of this hotel. It was so colorful and fun. The bed was so comfortable and it was so quiet we slept in every morning (which we never do)! We did not get daily maid service. Perhaps we were supposed to ask for it. We also asked for our safe to be fixed and were not told until day 4 that it was not fixable and they are discontinuing that service. The front desk and bar staff were super friendly and accommodating! Overall, a great experience and we would stay again.
