Graduate hotel in Phoenix, AZ was a good place for a quick stay. A little noisy from other guests, but other than that really nice. The terrace was a great view. The food hall in the morning was really good. The breakfast burrito and coffee were great! Overall, a good stay.

The staff was amazing. From the front desk to the restaurant. The facilities are aged and there is not a business center or conference room if you need to do work.
