It is a nice property, well located with respect to the University of Virginia. The hotel has only limited bar food at a rooftop bar. There are numerous food options within walking distance, but the majority are college average college fare - pizza, burgers, wings, etc. The Virginian - about a 5-minute walk - has some better options. The carpeting in the hotel is getting a bit old, but is kept vacuumed. We would stay there again!

Parking fiasco
Parking at hotel required a ticket that required using a machine that required your credit card. Took my credit card, put a charge on it but never delivered the ticket required to leave and enter parking lot. Wendy at the desk was wonderful but still had to call desk to have someone allow me to come and go with my car. Room was perfect. Location near the Corner was good. Again withoutWendy at the desk, the stay would have been very distressing .

Convenient Location
The location of the hotel was convenience and the rooms and hotel was clean. The parking garage is attached to the hotel which is convenient. The front desk staff were not that impressive and could not offer any advice on restaurants or general questions about the area.

Good for solo business trips to Charlottesville
Good location for UVa meetings. Overall, the hotel seemed a bit worn, but when on business by myself, I only care that the hotel is clean and safe, since most of the time I'm there, I'm asleep. The Graduate staff was courteous and friendly, and the overall experience was good.

Location is only redeeming quality.
I booked this very last minute due to a family emergency and needing to be close to UVA hospital. Location was ideal. I didn’t have the luxury of time to research ahead of time, so it was unexpected to have to pay an extra $22/day to park my car. The entire parking system is just plain awful. You pay at a kios. My receipt ripped while printing. I didn’t think it was a big deal until the front desk said there was nothing they could do for me, redirected me to the valet, who directed me to call the help number on the screen, which was the number to the hotel. If booking through a 3rd party site such as Hotels.com front desk is extremely unhelpful in any situation. The hotel room was moderately clean. There was a broken lamp, plugs that didn’t work, and some of the art in the room appeared to have been defaced. I opted for the graduate as I had stayed another of their locations for a work conference and had a wonderful experience. I can promise that the only redeeming quality of this hotel was the distance to the hospital and local stores and restaurants, which I imagine is why it’s so much more expensive that other hotels in the area. Be warned, there is no complimentary coffee or tea, unless you like the instant granulated left in your room with a tea kettle. Completely unimpressed. Would not recommend unless you needed the location.
