We were due to stay in Graduate last weekend as part of a wider trip from Ireland but due to a family death 2 days prior we had to cancel. While I fully understand it was a non refundable booking, the other 3 hotels on our trip (which were also non refundable) all kindly offered their condolences & a good will refund. We got neither from Graduate. We won’t return

Pros (+) Bed was comfortable. Key cards are interesting and collectible. Location is fantastic
Cons (-) There is no public restroom. So if you check-out and then have bags held before you depart Providence, you can't use any bathroom at the hotel as they don't have a public one.
