"Great location in cute Palo Alto, but expensive for what you get and noisy rooms."

Excellent

8.0

The Graduate in Palo Alto lives up to the Graduate reputation with creative decor specific to the area. The staff are incredibly friendly. Location is amazing...you can walk right out the door to adorable downtown PA and be at any number of coffee shops, restaurants, etc. in just steps. Nice rooftop bar.

The building is old. The bed really squeaked and felt uneven. The rooms are noisy....road noise was a problem. Street cleaners woke me up at 4am going through downtown PA. The bathroom vanity has no counter space really to put your things. A room not facing University probably would have been quieter. Breakfast available downstairs, but it is really pricey....
