Will be back!
Excellent service from the moment I walked in the door. Went to the trophy room for dinner (with my dog!) and was welcomed and felt very relaxed as we sat at the bar and had a delicous smash burger and fries. Was so happy I could bring my dog with me, vs having to leave him in the room.

The hotel staff were very friendly and courteous however, the room left much to be desired. The room was very hot, the furniture was extremely worn, and the bed was unbelievably stiff. The price of this room was solely based on its location. 7/10.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Our room had trash behind the door to the bedroom. (Previous occupants travel receipts. There were pubic hairs in the bathroom, shower. Thick dust on light fixtures and picture in the bathroom. Smell of stale old ladies in the hallway of the 2nd floor. The receptionist when we checked in was unfriendly at best, and the kid at the desk the following morning wasn’t attentive or even look up from his phone. The receptionist at check out was a delight. We’ve stayed at previous at Graduate Hotels, but this was not good. Lipstick on an ugly hotel.

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!
