  Great place to stay and bring your dog

  Easy check in and valet parking. Room was great and just right for our pet. We were able to have dinner downstairs and Fletcher could join us which was vey nice. The Graduate is also near a wonderful park where we could walk Fletcher. Would be nice to have a spot of grass near the hotel.

  Great for my stocky pup!

  I stayed here with my dog and had no problems at all. She's a mutt, but she's short haired and stocky so I get worry whether places will consider her banned for looking "pit." I didn't see any breed restrictions here, and had no problems at all. They were all super nice and gave her a milk bone. It's in a downtown location, so not many green spaces nearby, but we enjoyed walking around the city. There were no problems leaving her in the room unattended when I had to go out. Only minor complaint is that their showers had low pressure and didn't get very hot. The rooms are very cute and more homey than most hotels. I'd happily stay here again with my dog. I'd love to try out their rooftop bar once COVID-19 restrictions are lifted. Also, their TV remote was in a plastic bag for sanitation purposes, which I appreciated.

  Great downtown location

  Had a great stay with my two dogs. Staff was nice and room was quite comfortable. Will be nice when the rooftop bar can open again.

  Guest Review

  A friendly staff can't compensate for the shortcomings of the facility. The room had trickling water from the bathroom faucet -- running would be an overstatement -- and it never warmed up beyond tepid. The dining facility was mediocre and the hotel didn't even offer free morning coffee -- almost a given at most places these days. All of this might be understandable, except that it's one of the pricier hotels in the neighborhood. For just a few dollars more, a dog-friendly, five-star hotel called The Jefferson is available just one block away.

  Great location in downtown Richmond

  Hotel and amenities were very nice. This is a very dog friendly hotel. The only downsides are that our room was missing a shower curtain and the bathroom sink stopper was stuck in. They took some money off our room rate when we let them know though.

  Great Pet Friendly Hotel

  The hotel and staff were great! We were greeted warmly by the front desk receptionists who could t wait to meet our pups. The rooms were clean and very spacious. Anytime we’re in Richmond we will stay at the Graduate

  Nice Hotel But Not All That Pet Friendly

  We stayed here for the second time in 3 months and had a great experience the first time. They have a rooftop bar/restaurant and we spent a lovely evening there in April. We returned in July to find that they not no longer allow dogs upstairs. The odd part is they allow them in the bar/cafe downstairs. When we asked about the new rule they claimed dogs could jump off the roof as the railing was not adequate for preventing such an unfortunate event. Things that make you scratch your head.
  We will be looking for another pet friendly hotel in The Richmond area in the future.
