Such a great place to stay. Location is perfect! Close to the Union, lake, shopping and good eats. Easy walk to the capital. The interior of the hotel has a great cozy feel with so much attention paid to detail. From the coordinating fabrics, carpets and seating to the antique canoes used as lighting, this place is truly a perfect boutique hotel.

We have come to prefer staying at Graduate hotels in any town that has them, even if we have no business with the Universities they are associated with. The hotels are always clean, comfortable, and staffed by friendly students. Front desk staff went out of their way to recommend great places to eat as well as printing out something for me that I needed. Truly outstanding service. The decor is locally themed and unusual. Most places have a great coffee counter (Poindexters) to get your morning Joe and this one even had a rooftop bar. They are in the heart of a college campus, so not necessarily quiet, but the vibe is always lively and since it is in proximity to college kids, there are always a bunch of great and inexpensive dining options. This location in particular had an amazing array of things to do and places to get a great brat and some curds (Memorial Student Center is aces with views of the lake. Go to Der Rathskeller). The proximity to Lake Mendota and the Lakeshore Nature Preserve is fabulous. My only complaint is that the valet parking (pretty much the only available option) is a gouge, but the staff was lovely and you can get your car in and out as many times a day as you need. I would absolutely stay here again.

A little quirky place with a nice vibe. It’s not a luxury hotel but comfortable enough for a brief stay and in a good location foe exploring Madison.

Clean and comfy.

This hotel was conveniently located to state Street and the capital building. It was very quiet and comfortable for a couples stay. We were disappointed there was no coffee or limited breakfast available, considering the price of the room.

Overall, we had a great stay at the Graduate; room was comfortable, everything was clean, and the staff were friendly. Only thing was I wish we knew there was not complimentary parking on-site (and for $34 overnight valet, we opted for a cheaper parking garage nearby). If I would have known that parking was not available for guests on-site, I would not have stayed here.

The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. The bed in our first room was not comfortable and the hotel was accommodating and moved us to a new room. The bed in the new room was more comfortable. Easy walking distance to The terrace, restaurants, campus and the capital.
