"Great Hotel"
Overall score5.0/ 5
This is my 3rd time staying at the Graduate Hotel in Tucson but not the charm, as ALL of my stays have been memorable. Super friendly staff, beautifully designed rooms and lobby and a rooftop restaurant/bar that is a delight in and of itself. Stay there! You won't regret it (and it's reasonably priced to boot!).

"Great Hotel Stay for Teddy Swims Event"

Button Ballroom

Ground floor ballroom with floor to ceiling windows. Why is it named Button Ballroom? In 1926, John Byrd "Button" Salmon, student body president and quarterback, was critically injured in a car crash. His last words to his coach were, "Tell them ... tell the team to bear down.” Today, this simple two-word phrase is a rallying cry that embodies the spirit of the university.
