Great location!
Great location! Dog friendly. Our room was spacious (except the tiny bathroom) and I loved the decor with local theme and rich patterns and textures. The service at the front desk and bar left something to be desired but overall it was a great stay. I guess in all fairness, it was the holiday time between Christmas and NYE so nobody wants to be at work. ;-)

Love the Graduate Columbia!
We stay at the Graduate Columbia a lot and always enjoy!! It feels like home. Love the location ( close to campus and very walkable), easy parking , friendly laid back staff, the bar/small restaurant, and we always meet the nicest people there! I just wish it wasn’t so outrageously priced on football weekends! Wish there was some sort of “ frequent guest” benefit.

This was a really cute little boutique hotel that offered a fun bar area, a great vibe and sweet employees. If you’re going to be there to visit a college student it’s extremely walkable for the campus. We gave it a 3 star for not having hot water for showers, being nickeled and dimed for every little thing, and the one outlet that we had access to didn’t work.
