Incredible location next to smu. Not very quiet at night. Room had no good places to hang towels. Cream and sugar but no coffee or tea in the room which was strange. Overpriced but secondary to the location I guess.

Highly recommend Graduate near SMU

Have stayed here multiple times and highly recommend, especially for anything to do with SMU- walking distance to anywhere on campus. Excellent new restaurant, rooms have always been spotless and comfortable, staff always pleasant and welcoming.

We stayed here before remodel. Very modern but dated. Now the decor in the rooms looks like something at Disneyland. Waiting for woody to jump out. Overkill with the western/pony theme. Shower is large very slippery once you use soap. Air conditioner is the worst ever!!! Had to put in ear plugs to try and sleep. Even my daughter in another room could not sleep because air conditioner was so loud!!! She can sleep thru anything. Lobby and restaurant are great. Just the rooms make me not want to stay here again.

The bed and the pillows were hard as rocks. Only complaint. They were truly uncomfortable. Otherwise, staff and location are great. But they need to fix that issue. I won't stay there again anytime soon just due to not being able to sleep well.
