It was rather blah, and the Graduate hotels in other places have more personality, so i was expecting more. I'd been better off at the Roxy or even a Spinghill Suites... rooms were not available until 4pm, coffee was poor, both in the room and at the espresso bar... the building seemed tired and worn out... not great at all.

This hotel should not be considered a Graduate Hotel, that promises to be a welcoming and one of a kind place. I have been to 2 other graduate (from the original ones before hilton bought it), and they were phenomenal and very unique, with great amenities and new/modern rooms. What it seems like they did here is get an antiquated hilton hotel and add a few new pieces of furniture and color to the walls. They didn't have any water available for purchase in the property for 2 days, and didn't seem to care when we asked - just said they must be out of water, a very poor breakfast selection to order from their cafe, with half of the items being out of stock, and the rooms and facilities feel old, and not welcoming at all.

Went for a play at ASU Gammage. Was so convenient being able to just walk there and staff is the nicest we've come across in a long time anywhere. Our fur babies were welcomed with treats and theres a nice little grassy area to walk them.
