Second time staying at a Graduate hotel. This is a great hotel, really fun vibe. They had a really funny Bobby Moynihan lamp, and the key cards had UCONN alumni on them. It was really cool decor. They have a resort fee but it covers part of your food/drink if you use the restaurant, which was nice and convenient. The staff was sweet.

We had a great stay. UCONN campus is very impressive! My only complaint is, when checking in we were instructed where to park. It wasn’t until we checked out and I saw a tiny sign hidden behind the card processor, that I realized they charge $9 per night for parking. I brought it to the attention of the clerk that not only weren’t we informed at check in about the fee, but that the sign should be larger and placed where patrons can actually see it!!!

Cannot beat the location. Comfy room and bed. The restaurant and bar area is kind of subpar and wide open. Not even a coffee to be had complimentary. We did use the hotel bikes which was a great way to get around campus and see a lot. Very easy to reserve.

I had an amazing stay! From the moment I arrived, I was impressed by how clean and well-kept everything was. The rooms were immaculate and the common areas were beautifully maintained. What truly made my stay exceptional, though, was the incredibly friendly and welcoming front desk and bar staff. They went above and beyond to ensure I had everything I needed and always with a smile. I’ll definitely be returning!

I liked that we could eat at the Trophy Room without having to drive somewhere. Meals were great but portions too big. I ran out of toilet paper the night before I left and had to use kleenex. Looked everywhere and there was not an extra roll of toilet paper in room 302.

The Graduate hotel exceeded our expectations. It was beautifully decorated, very clean, extremely quiet, and perfectly located on campus. We had the best sleep at this hotel. We couldn’t hear any neighbors or elevators our entire stay. The food selection at the restaurant is very limited, so you will need to go out to eat if you stay longer than 1 night (and there are not many restaurants in the area either). Parking was $9.50 per day (more than the listed price on Hotels.com), which seemed a bit steep for that area. Other than that, we definitely highly recommend this hotel and would stay there again.

The hotel is so unique and has very UConn centric themes like the room key that looks like alum celebrity ID indicating when they attended UConn. Even the bathroom wallpaper is tailored to have references to UConn theme, it looks great. We got to the hotel late so no much dining option available, but Poindexter Coffee in the lobby area opened next morning and the breakfast was great, prices were also very reasonable. It was so convenient to walk out to UConn campus and joined the tour which we were there for. The room with the double queen beds were comfortable and roomy enough.
