No breakfast, even thou the site said it did. When we inquired, we were told the site is ran from a third party. Do not trust. Also, keep in mind there will be a $300 extra charge (refundable) for incidentals. The “bar” will tell you that they are out of many things (food/drinks).

Will be back!
Excellent service from the moment I walked in the door. Went to the trophy room for dinner (with my dog!) and was welcomed and felt very relaxed as we sat at the bar and had a delicous smash burger and fries. Was so happy I could bring my dog with me, vs having to leave him in the room.

Lovely stay in quirky hotel
The Graduate is a lovely property right by USC. The decor is very quirky and makes you feel like you have walked into a mix of a dorm and a dolls house. The room was spacious and very clean. The bath/shower was a bit tired, which was a little disappointing, as the rest of the bathroom and the bedroom looked fairly new. The bed was incredibly comfortable. Overall, it was great value, very pleasant, in an unbeatable location and, quite possibly, the best place to stay in Columbia, so I would come back!
