I hate to write bad reviews, but when I’m paying $500/night for a hotel, I expect some level of cleanliness. Unfortunately, that was not the case during my stay. The room was dark and dirty. The lobby and restaurant had cockroaches crawling around. My party had to call out the roaches to the front desk multiple times before they did anything about it. The hotel decor is super cute, but if you look closely, it’s a filthy hotel. I’d rather stay at a best western for a fraction of the cost. Needless to say, I will never be staying here ever again.Update: the hotel did reach out after I posted this review. Kudos to them on that part. However, when the manager accused me of lying about seeing cockroaches in the lobby, instead of just checking with the front desk person on duty that night (or security footage), it’s really not a good look. Sorry for telling the truth about my stay, but it happened… good riddance.
We have stayed with Graduate in Annapolis multiple times in both suites and regular rooms and we have loved every second of it. The decor is loud, but amazing. The Naval theme shines like a diamond because everything is so thoughtfully curated. Don't be afraid of atrium rooms, the atrium is incredible, and you can sleep in like a baby they're so dark. The staff are also incredibly pleasant, the valet is on point, and the pricing is reasonable across the board. Did I mention it's beautifully located with some of the best things to see and do right down the block??? Check out Dry 85 for Whiskey, Osteria 177 for dinner, and Curate across the street for morning coffee!
A nice place to stay and so many sights to see within walking distance. My room was extra clean and I enjoyed the decor very much. The staff was friendly and the food was satisfying. I would visit again.
We had a blast staying here. The nautical/Naval Academy theme is very well done. Everything was clean and well thought out. Staff was very friendly and professional. If you have nice weather, I recommend sitting outside and having breakfast or lunch on the patio next to the dining area. The location is a 5-10 minute walk to Naval Academy.
Unique property that exceeded expectations. Definitely recommend this property to anyone visiting Annapolis. The beds were comfortable, staff friendly and helpful, and although I prefer complimentary coffee, the coffee shop in the lobby was good. Excellent location to boot.
We stayed only one night on the way to GA from NY. I wish we could stay more. This is our best hotel experience in US. Besides friendly staff, the room was very clean and beautifully decorated. Location is great,Parking is free for the guests. We will definitely want to stay at Graduate if we go to Annapolis again!
This is a great hotel in a good location. It's super clean and the decor is tasteful and fun. We had a large room with plenty of space and a clean bathroom. BUT service is just MEH. We arrived early and asked if we could leave bags. No problem, room was ready......great.......until check out. That's when you are hit with a $35 early check in fee. Bit of a battle, we explained no one told us about this and we would have happily left bags in reception as originally requested. Check out reluctant to accept this, insisted we had booked early check in etc. Fortunately, colleague overheard and waived fee. First day there, the weather was shocking. We asked the concierge if any umbrellas were available. There weren't....fair enough but it was lashing. If I was a concierge, I would - at the very least - suggest a shop to buy umbrellas or light rain wear etc. No, nothing. It was absolutely torrential but there were plenty of guests who still wanted to sight see. The concierge was in no mind to help. Avoid breakfast. The menu is limited but the service is slow, slow, slow. Plenty of guests save time by bringing in coffees and juices from outside establishments. Some guests rocked up to the juice trolley and helped themselves. If you want anything but filter coffee, prepare for a paper cup. This could be a great hotel. Needs better management, energy and attitude.
This hotel is wonderful. It’s so clean and inviting and the decor in the lobby and rooms is classy and whimsical. The sheets were so highend and the room was large and so comfy. The bathroom was as clean as my own. I highly recommend this hotel!
We absolutely loved our stay in the king room with a balcony! From initially checking in, where the front desk associate (Nick) was incredibly kind and gave us detailed recommendations and walking directions for various activities and food, to the room itself, we were incredibly pleased. The decor made the hotel room feel so fun, and our bed was very comfortable. Plus, the balcony was spacious and felt quite private. Location was easily walkable to all of Annapolis, even with our baby! Definitely worth the slightly higher expense than a standard hotel. We will be back!
A nice hotel in downtown Annapolis. Clean, comfortably sized rooms with thermostat, mini-fridge and modern furnishings.There is a restaurant attached and a small selection of food, beer and wine for late night excursions.Service was fantastic. Mike is the man.Parking was a little confusing, but that's easy enough to overlook.We'll be back!
