We were in Columbus on night to visit friends and attend a music concert. The Graduate is one of the more affordable hotels in Short North--within walking distance of our venue and with many shops, galleries, restaurants, and bars nearby. Valet parking is $37 per night, so there's that. Overall a good stay & we would return. Rooms are small, but clean, well appointed; good beds & bedding. Bathroom & shower clean and roomy. Some not-a-big-deal things: there were chip crumbs on the credenza by the TV, the floor was a little dusty, no complimentary coffee or breakfast though there is a coffee maker in the room. Staff was friendly and professional. The associate in the morning gave me a coupon for a complimentary coffee in Homage--otherwise you pay. We would return.
