Great location!
Great location! Dog friendly. Our room was spacious (except the tiny bathroom) and I loved the decor with local theme and rich patterns and textures. The service at the front desk and bar left something to be desired but overall it was a great stay. I guess in all fairness, it was the holiday time between Christmas and NYE so nobody wants to be at work. ;-)

Love the Graduate Columbia!
We stay at the Graduate Columbia a lot and always enjoy!! It feels like home. Love the location ( close to campus and very walkable), easy parking , friendly laid back staff, the bar/small restaurant, and we always meet the nicest people there!
I just wish it wasn’t so outrageously priced on football weekends! Wish there was some sort of “ frequent guest” benefit.

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.
