Great place to stay for a Vikings Game
My son and I were staying at The Graduate for the Vikings White-out Game. Super easy to hop on the lightrail and head to the game. Vikings won so all good. Hotel was clean, friendly and such a great Minnesota Vibe. Love it!

GO GOPHERS! GO STUDY!
The Graduate Hotel is GREAT! Excellent location, great bar/restaraunt, comfy rooms and NICE staff and people! It’s been almost 30 years since I finished college and being here brings me right back. Bring books to read or work to do in the lobby just to feel smart and never stop learning - it’s great for that! I will stay again for sure.

On U of Minnesota Campus — Awesome Place
This is a thematic hotel that makes visitors feel as if they are staying in the coolest and most elegant dormitory in the world. Full of Minneapolis-Saint Paul nostalgia in common areas and rooms. If we ever come back this way we will definitely stay here again.

Loni Anderson vibes
Check in was a little rough. Despite it being 5:45pm, no one was at the counter. Then, there was in issue linking my reservation to the room, which took check in a long time. Our friends staying here were given the wrong room type but were comped free breakfast. The gentleman at check in was very apologetic and kind. The decor here is fun. I have Loni Anderson leering over me while sleep. My son and his friend enjoyed the gaming tables and the adults enjoyed the space to sit and have a drink. Will come back if my son picks U of MN.

Great Place :)
I live in Fargo, ND and frequent the Minneapolis area. This has been one of my favorite places to stay. The price is good, there’s a lot to do and see and the staff is very friendly and helpful. Thank you for making our stay a good one. It’s a plus that Starbucks is right in the building :)
