Graduate by Hilton Seattle

Close to the Neptune and lite rail, fun art. Nothing.

For the price of the hotel, the rooms should have been renovated. The rooms looked like they really needed work.

Very good

the room you had to go through a certain exit which is normally locked that staff has to open (sometimes it takes a minute). Also the parking rate is $50 per day. Plenty of paid street parking a block or two away though

Exceptional

The Graduate by Hilton Hotel in the U District Seattle needs a restaurant not just a coffee shop and bar.

Hotel was old and considered leaving the first night but the rest of the attendees stayed at the hotel and complained about tvs not working, AC not working and still going back and forth with my $15 per day credit.

There was a musty smell and no air circulation in the room. The hotel location is in a bad part of town. I would not even venture down the sidewalk in that area during the day. The rooftop restaurant view was great, but you have to be a patron of the restaurant to go there. The staff was very nice. I checked out the next morning and went elsewhere.

The hotel is very cool and exciting to walk through! So much history! The staff is very kind and helpful. The bedroom was clean, the bathroom was small and had a few hairs when we arrived but was maintained well. The walls are very thin so we could hear our neighbors sometimes but that comes with vintage building. Loved the key cards!!! The coffee shop was great and the bar was amazing too! The valet was kind and helpful as well!! We would definitely come again!

Very friendly staff, nice atmosphere I’d definitely stay again. Only downside, only parking onsite available is $55 valet parking. And, I wanted to iron my tank top and as soon as I put the iron on my tank top, it stuck and pulled the fabric off, so I threw the top away. Luckily, I had another but I’ve never had that happen before. Great view from the restaurant also.

The mountaineering club restaurant had exceptional views. The vibe is laid back. It’s incredibly expensive. The parking and fees are very costly and I felt assaulted by a card on the nightstand expressing that I should offer extra money to the cleaning staff. I’m sorry but it was a very expensive stay and I paid for a clean room. Hilton should pay their staff a comfortable wage. It’s not the client’s responsibility. This is a rich corporation that can afford decent salaries.

Nice

I enjoyed the location and the view was excellent. My only complaint is that the closet smelled of cat so it must not have been cleaned well. Beyond that, the hotel is clean, well maintained and staff friendly and helpful. Great hotel for pet owners in a central location.

Great hotel

Very good

Very cool property. Staff was very friendly and personable. Definitely recommend the Mountaineering Club on the 16th floor - great views of the city and beyond.

Nice location, clean room, helpful staff

Needs to be redone. Showers are terrible

Nicely appointed room

Mountaineering Club in hotel is a huge plus as well.

Parking was nearly impossible to find. Neighborhood was sketchy

Clean. Super easy check in and great location

Love the decor and proximity to campus; helpful to have a breakfast spot downstairs

The cutest hotel with a delicious and friendly bar and restaurant on the roof. Great service from all and cute decor.

Very cute hotel! Love the interior design/style ❤️

A very nice sort of boutique hotel which i likely about 100 years old, but retrofitted to fit the "Graduate" theme very well. My parents spent their wedding night in this hotel in 1947, and while it has been upgraded still has the charm of the original building with nice new amenities and a great rooftop bar venue.

AC and elevators were not working properly.

The room was very clean, and the staff were courteous and amicable, good view ang great location walkable to UW and Link

Very charming Elevators seem to have minds of their own

I was overcharged by $60 for a 1 night stay when i arrived they ensured the valet price would be removed and was due to the elevators not working. The room was clean but it was also falling apart cracks in walls, seat in bathroom missing pads, rust stains down walls in tub.

Elevators seem to have minds of their own

Lobby and rooms were fantastic. Love that they have valet parking! Super convenient to the university grounds. Empty lots on both sides made it feel like it's a rough neighborhood, but it's not. Some staff were great - others not so much. Loved that there was a room credit for breakfast at the cafe, but line was super long and limited options.

The Hotel is such a great location for the UW! Great shops and food all in walking distance, too. The Pointdexter cafe that is part of the hotel has wonderful coffees and great healthy breakfast options that were so appreciated! The hotel itself is such a fun, quirky vibe and had a great view from our room to the water. Will stay again if visiting UW!

We ended up on the 14th floor. Great view. Very warm room. We should have asked for a fan. Real clean. Awesome check in with Sam (if I remember right). Parking is valet only but worth it.

Where to start… the door to our room didn’t lock electronically. We told the front desk about this, but they said they would send somebody up in the morning. Then when we went to go to bed, we shut off the hall light and it actually did not shut off so the light was on light as well. The maintenance man came up the next day and he was very, very nice and fixed electronic lock and also removed the lightbulb from the hall so we wouldn’t have to switch rooms at that point. Meanwhile, it was super hot in our room all three days and nights, because apparently this hotel does not turn on the air until a certain time of the year. The elevators were complete shambles and wouldn’t bring us to our room and I got motion sickness, three times from writing in the elevator for many minutes at a time just trying to get to my floor or my friends floor. It was very frustrating. The rules around the rooftop are weird and annoying. At one point my spouse got in the elevator and it stopped on a floor and a cleaner got on and he said the elevator is going down when she pressed an higher level and she goes… oh. And then uses her key card to make it go up. Like, what the? Also conditioner item in shower was totally empty, there was hair on the shower wall that wasn’t ours and some sort of curios stain on the shower curtain. The hotel is beautiful and great location though. The attention to details and great service is missing.

Clean room. Nice staff

Excellent hotel in every way. Great location, cool vibe, great staff.

No counter for toiletries in the bathroom.

No counter for toiletries in the bathroom.

Too hot in the room, A/C wasn’t working, had to sleep with window open. Overall great experience though.

Amazing! Perfect!

Tbh I just slept here! But it’s convenient, comfortable and nice.

The custodian entered my room while I was inside. Although I attempted to inform her that I had just checked in, she persistently inquired about my check-out time.

We loved staying with you!

The halls were noisy at night, the staff was mediocre, there was no coffee pot/microwave/fridge in the room and the walls were very thin so you could hear everyting going on around you. The beds were not comfortable and the bedding had holes in them.

Rooms were immaculate. There are no refrigerators in the room which seemed odd. The coffee service in the room was a bit lame but there is a great coffee shop attached to the lobby and it opens at 6:30 and you can charge it to your room. The location is perfect especially if you are going to the Neptune theatre for a show. It’s steps away from the Neptune. View of Seattle and the mountains is fabulous. The rooms are appointed like no other hotel room that I’ve been in. Interesting, eclectic yet not cluttered with useless adornments. Art deco. Very comfortable furniture. The beds were very comfortable and the pillows didn’t break your neck. I would definitely stay there again.

Friendly staff, great location, lovely room

Very good location near the University of Washington and the Light rail station. Quiet and nice view of street with some restaurants. Comfortable bed and good bath tab. This is an old (historical) hotel in the U-district. The room telephone was broken and no refrigerator. (They took it out from the cabinet and left the cabinet empty.) I felt that it was expensive. They charge $15 for us to use at the coffee shop, regardless we use or not. If you don't use it, you will just lose $15 for nothing. I would rather not to be charged without choice. I felt "expensive" for these reasons. I would choose other places next time, probably.

First time here and not knowing what to expect, I was pleasantly surprised on all counts. Boutique hotel feel with individually decorated rooms. Very cute. “Everyone is a student” is their motto. Stay here, you’ll like it (except the $44 parking valet fee).

Exceptional

Everything was excellent!!

Great view of the University District. Did get a $15 credit for food. Coffee place located in the hotel and a great restaurant upstairs with a spectacular view. Defiantly recommend.

Super cool building, not your standard boring hotel (which I love) and we loved the proximity to the Neptune theater. There was only one elevator working for staff and for guests. So when housekeeping needed to get to the different floors, it created quite the headache for guests who were trying to check out, or getting to/from their room during that time. We waited almost 40 minutes trying to get the elevator to our room. It wasn't made clear when we checked in that we would need a reservation for the restaurant on the rooftop, so heads up- you can't just go up there without a staff member sending you up. I think a lot of our troubles were caused by a singular elevator experience, if the property manager fixed that I would have rated it higher. Overall it was a pretty good experience

It was pretty noisy with road traffic in

Convenient location, beautiful decor, and great amenities like the coffee shop and trendy rooftop bar!! Highly recommend.

Room was great

Spotless room. Amazing staff.

Great bed and all linens like new. Would be nice to have glassware. Paper cups provided but leaves more trash and makes for yucky beverages (in our opinion).

Staff and valet are so friendly and the hotel is very cute

clean room and awesome valet service

Staff are so friendly and helpful! I enjoyed the room and the lobby. The bed was comfortable and the bathrooms are nice! Only one elevator for entire building and we had to share it with folks coming to the rooftop bar.

Room climate control did not work. The room would not warm up. We notified staff and they said all they could do was supply us some extra blankets. The shower was only warm water.

Beautiful design - the room, the lobby café and rooftop are aesthetically very pleasing The shower was tepid both in the evening and in the morning - My partner (4o years old) was refused service at the hotel bar because his drivers licence was from the UK. That bar was the only reason I had booked the hotel for a valentine's date so I was very frustrated. When I asked for help finding a new place to go, I had to pry recommendations from the staff who initally told me "I don't go out much in Seattle so I don't know". Only one of the elevators worked and on three occasions I waited more than five minutes in front of the elevator to get to my room on the 14th floor.

Friendly, great design, clean.

Superb service drink food credit vslet parking

Yes, Staff was awesome

Clean room.

we ended up with 1 king instead of 2 queens. other than that, fine.

We’re only there for 10 hours nice and quiet and comfortable beds

Staff was really nice and helpful. Room was clean, really eclectic with a Great Gatsby vibe. Super close to UW tower and the light rail.

Delightful staff, wonderful location, comfortable beds.

Yes

Room was in good conditions, employees were friendly. Valet employees were friendly as well and quick to get our help.

Great staff

Clean and comfortable. Kitty-korner from Neptune Theater. We had the handicap room with full-tiled bathroom, and it echoed like crazy, so our privacy wasn't great. We could hear everyone in the hallway, but the clientele are not rowdy, so it didn't matter. The room was tastefully decorated and the bed was very nice. No fridge or microwave, but it's a downtown hotel, so not surprising.

Otherwise it was a good place

Best thing that stood out about our stay was the friendly staff. The quickness to help we were pretty impressed. The location of the hotel was also close to many restaurants and the university. We would definitely stay here again.

It was fabulous

The room was so fun with great decor concepts and a sweet corner view! We would certainly come back!

Good hotel!

Decent room and amenities. Staff was helpful and friendly

Cute and spacious room. Central location. Nice rooftop restaurant.

Nice staff, clean and convenient

Excellent and super friendly

Okay

Staff was very welcoming and friendly. Felt safe staying in this hotel. It was charming and clean

Great view!

The staff were all amazing and the food and coffee at the hotel café were stellar! LOVED the scholarly aesthetic. It put me in the mood for some good reading.

Friendly staff. However I was on the 10th floor and could hear the bass coming from the bar on the 16th floor

Very nice

Great design throughout the hotel, and check in was fast and very friendly!

Great room, great price, lots of choices for eating.

Clean and spacious room, great coffee shop downstairs, beside views from our room, and ability to crack open the windows for fresh air.

Stayed 2 nights , I put the do not disturb on the door , they came in after the first night and cleaned the room when I was gone anyway and removed my toiletries as well as opened the door the next morning while I was still sleeping to come in and clean , I would never recommend this place to anyone

Nice room

My stay was truly exceptional. The room was spotless, cozy, and thoughtfully designed, but what really stood out was the staff. Every team member I encountered was warm, attentive, and genuinely committed to making the stay memorable, especially Sam, who went above and beyond with incredible service. The amenities were great, the atmosphere was fun and welcoming, and everything just felt easy and enjoyable. Plus, the Link is only a two-minute walk away, which made getting around Seattle super convenient. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

Ok

Room was great! I would suggest to change desk chair as it is too low for desk and find a way to update tiles in shower as they look old and not clean. All in all, room was 90%.

This hotel went above and beyond and exceeded my expectations. The front desk staff was exceptional, professional, kind, and friendly.

very nice room, nice bed and shower

Yes, all the staff was very nice

Don’t let the churched-up photos fool you, this is a real lipstick on a pig situation. Enjoy the door not locking from the inside.

Lovely preservation of deco style.

Such a cool place; great coffee shop, views and people

This is a great hotel in the UDistrict. Super convenient to UW and walkable to campus, U Village, etc. It’s a historic building so there are quirks with that (most notably thin walls) but still lovely and the staff is top notch. Plus the Mountaineering Club is awesome. Would be nice if it had a seating area for under 21, even if just before a certain time.

Only warm water in the shower.

Cute hotel. Loved the rooftop bar. Room was a little small but did the job. Coffee shop was cute and made a delicious latte. Valet super nice & helpful. Overall great stay.

I liked the location very much and the valet parking made it even easier. The rooms are comfortable but a little on the small side. My room didn't have carpeting which I prefer. The bathroom was small but really clean. The rooftop lounge, the Mountaineer Club, had an outstanding view but the bartender was less than welcoming... oh well, I'd stay there again.

I like this hotel, it is close the good food,light road, it’s so convenient to anywhere.

We arrived a few hours before a show a the Neptune Theater. Front desk staff were nice and helpful. Our room was nice but we noticed it didnt have any hand soap. No big deal - it hsppens. So we went back to the front desk and asked for soap. Front desk apologized ans said they'd send someone up. We went to dinner, then our show, and returned to our room. Still no soap... so we used body wash (which smelled great BTW) and went to bed. Dissapointing and annoying, but not the worst.

No bar or refrigerator in the room. Very grateful to the valet attendant who had to retrieve our vehicle several times to collect items left behind. Stay here for the rooftop lounge and restaurant the food and atmosphere were phenomenal as were the unique cocktails.

Weak AC

Nice hotel but the room was cold and the heater would not warm it up

No coffee maker, no hot water.

Excellent service, very clean room. Too bad there was not more study to remodel in the Art Deco style...the thrift shop artwork everywhere is reminicent of my first apartment. The beautiful old stylish hotel deserves a better and more fitting public face. The view bar was spectacular, but again very tired. The seat cushioning indoors need replacing. Again, fabulous staff! Would stay there again tho despite shabby common areas and bad artwork.

Nice hotel, nice staff and would stay there again.

Fantastic art, killer rooftop bar. Everything was perfect.

My daughter attends college and I was there to visit her. Nice clean hotel. Would stay there again. Staff is also warm and nice.

Clean, ecclectic unique hotel decor, quiet. Very convenient to U Wash. Lots of Asian food options nearby but if you are interested in other food options you will likey need to use transportation to get there.

Decent hotel. Good location to the light rail station. Rooms are something between out-dated and charming. Didnt have any issues with noise and was on a high floor. Nice bar with a great view. Overall: recommend but would only return to go to a Washington Huskies game.

small bathrooms

The location is great and the vibe is fun. Staff were great when we dropped off luggage before check-in and upon check-in. The staff handling reservations/checking for the rooftop bar were horrible and blocked several hotels guests, us included, from getting in the elevator to go to our rooms after checking in . Apparently it’s more important for groups to get to the bar than hotel guests to be able to go to their rooms?? When checking out messaged the valet for our car to be brought but they still hadn’t seen the message when we arrived 15+ minutes later, I didn’t get a reply to my message for almost an hour, by which time we had already gotten our car and left.

First room has a blood stained pillow case… so that kind of ruined the vibe and the illusion of “clean” for this location.

Everything is for your phone.

Stylish. Hotel guests should get better access to the restaurant.

Such a cool place, great location, exceptional service and good vibes.

Yes

Nice room, pleasant staff

But the shower was not working in my room. I tried multiple times and it wouldn’t start. I spoke to the front desk if they could give me a credit or partial refund since I couldn’t shower. They said they couldn’t but promised would have the manager call me that day to see wha they could do. They never called me to follow up. Very frustrating.

The pictures of the hotel online are far nicer than what you see in person. The person that checked us in offered no information about our stay such as how to get wifi, the restaurant onsite, the cafe, nothing. Basically said here’s your key. The restaurant menu is extremely limited and there wasn’t anything appealing to us. The room decor was strange. There was no microwave, refrigerator or coffee pot, and no fan in the bathroom. Parking is valet only unless you can park on the street, which is very limited. The building is old and has an odor. I expected more for over $200 a night.

It was like a hostel or a stay at your grandparent's spare bedroom.

It was in a pretty bad neighborhood… They kept the outer doors locked at all times

Help with getting room situation fixed.

Funky decor in my room. Lots of dining nearby. Slow elevators and no fridge in the room.

Stay was good, but I reserved a King room and they changed it to a queen room. They overbooked us and kicked us off because we used Hotels.com. Overall clean room, bottles of shampoo etc were empty.

Close to UW.

I wanted to love this property, the decor and style was amazing. Unfortunately, I left a really high value ring in my room. I know exactly where I left it and called the front desk immediately, but they were unable to find it. Overall, I know this was my fault, but i’m really disappointed. Seems like there was a right and a wrong thing to do here, and the wrong thing was done. Bummed.

Love this historic building ! Rooftop view at sunset was beautiful .

Hotel is right across from The Neptune Theater which is perfect for booking for the night of a concert.

customer service was great no mini fridge not great loved the Mountaineering Club!

If you want food from the restaurant, there is not room service and you have to go downstairs and be let up. If the restaurant is busy, they do not let you go up, even to order and bring back to your room. As a paying guest, counting on being able to grab food from my hotel after a long day of work, and being told no, that’s pretty bad customer service.

Unique hotel designed to cater to UW families

This was the cutest boutique hotel! Unfortunately, our room wasn't ready when we checked in at 8pm, (5 hours past the 3 pm check in time) due to a "linen shortage". We were told to come back in an hour, Once in our room, it was obvious one of the beds still had not had the sheets changed. There were note papers under the covers and black hairs on the pillowcases. We found 2 fitted sheets and pillowcases in a nearby storage closet and changed them ourselves. When we got in bed, the TV didn't work. Sound but no picture. Called the front desk, but there was no one there to repair it til morning. We were told they couldn't refund us any $ on the room because we had booked through a third party, Expedia. They advertise bikes for use on your stay and even display a cute bike next to the front desk with a sign, but on inquiring about using the bikes, were told that the engineer had shut down the progtam because the bikes weren't safe for riding, with loose spokes and other unspecified mechanical issues. It sure was quaintly decorated, vet disappointingly fell short.

Really need a coffee maker in the room, instant coffee doesn’t cut it!

Super cute boutique hotel.

.

Right by UW.

Its an iconic hotel...my parents spent their wedding night there in 1947 and I spent my wedding night there in 1988. The rooms are interesting, and decent size but need a luggage rack and a small refrigerator. The views are fantastic. The biggest problem is the elevator banks. There are only 2, and between the staff which always seemed to be on them and the rooftop bar patrons, it can be quite a wait. It is a very cozy, intimate hotel though, and staff was quite pleasnt.

We went up to the Mountain Club for cocktails, only to find that they were closing early because of "Mechanical problems " with the dishwasher. We got a drink, but since there are no other bars close by, it was an early evening.

My stay was not great, staff was great. Room was not clean and was kept up the entire night after arriving at

It is very comfy and gives an apartment vibe. Loved it for our weeknight stay.

Great

Management was amazing Sam manager at night Shelley, Charlene, and Kia they went above and beyond from me

The Graduate is a cool, stylish choice. It is mostly aimed at a younger crowd (we are in our 40's and were there with our daughter), but we all found it comfortable. The rooftop bar, the Mountaineering Club, is a great place for panoramic views of Seattle. The U District is as central a location as you will find, but be aware that there will be noise on the street at night if you keep your windows open. The Poindexter Cafe downstairs was a great place to grab bagels and coffee in the morning, and street parking for the night was easy to find in the neighborhood.

The good stuff: I liked the quirkiness of the decor of the hotel, and overall it was clean. The staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful. The rooftop bar was pretty cool, great views and excellent drinks. I thought the bed was super comfortable, and they had high quality pillows. The light rail is just a block or two away, super convenient! Now for the not so great.. the room only had three working outlets, there were several outlets where the plug didn’t stay in the socket or just straight up didn’t work at all. Theres only one mirror, again not the end of the world but when there’s three girls in the room and limited outlets and one mirror it makes it a bit harder to get ready for the day. There’s no fridge, which I thought it was odd given the price of the room. Lastly, not that this is the hotels doing, but there is a ton of construction and run down buildings right outside the hotel. I didn’t feel unsafe, but it wasn’t amazing to walk out into that either. Overall, the stay was average.

Was given a room on the second floor next to a noisy vent then overcharged for valet and food.

Valet parking is mandatory, which means extra cost. The room doesn’t have fridge or microwave, it is a little difficult to preserve food. The view is excellent, the space needle is clear outside the window.

Very clean and great view at the bar.

Needs update

The staff are amazing. Whether wrangling our luggage or parking a car or tidying a room, every one of them was cheerful and helpful.

Staff is not friendly and was knocking our door early morning and then again right a checkout time we won’t be back again.

What made the property really unique was the location. Super close to public transit and plenty of walkable shops, restaurants and public spaces. From day 1 the whole experience seemed off. The sheets had a significant hole and some dirt on them - noticeable as soon as we stepped into the room. While it was a king size bed, nothing else matched the description of the room. The other challenge was the TV that didn’t appear to use traditional cable or satellite. Most channels were not available and we used laptops to watch local news in the morning.

I’ll start by saying that I will most likely stay here again. However, I definitely feel that there are some bugs to work out.

I paid for this stay on Hotels.com. The property charged me again for it when i checked out. I had to run it up the ladder to the assistant GM to find any help at all and then he never called me back. I ended up calling them again a few days later and then they charged me again!!! After all that they said they can see that ive been triple charged and said they woudl refund in a week or so. How does that even happen. They finally refunded after all the run around and did not even offer to comp the egregious $50 parking or anything. Kinda a brutal experience.

Convenient location of the hotel in terms of proximity to Univ of Washington campus.

50$ Valet parking only or sketchy street parking, rooms are not all that great

Property seems very old but clean.

Rough part of the city. Lived Costas restaurant!

The location is perfect; right by the light rail and restaurants on the Ave. Communication via text with front desk is convenient. The cafe is right there for morning coffee and breakfast sandwich. The only thing was that the toilet was making noise which can be fixed, but overall it waa a great stay.

Amazing experience

Small room and no free parking

This hotel was terrible. The rooms are really old and not maintained. Outlets didn’t work. Pillow cases were torn. Air was really stagnant and Smokey. Front desk staff were nice. No room service. Never got clean towels. Needed more toilet paper and they gave us a used half roll. Roof top bar could have been nice but the outdoor chairs are truly terrible. I have never written a review before and I travel frequently. I had to write a review on this hotel. The area (U district) is very run down and getting worse but clearly not the Hilton’s responsibility and has no control of this. Sadly, Hilton is also clearly not putting resources into this hotel as I am guessing the continued economic decline of this area is putting this hotel in the red. That said, don’t stay here. Stay at the Stay Pineapple a few blocks away. Much better hotel.

Dining option lacking Toooo few elevators for room n hotel

Valet was good but no other options than this for overnight and valet was expensive

Tiny bathroom with no counter space for toiletries. No dresser drawers for clothes. No refrigerator or microwave. Too many useless pillows taking up space. The closet had two rods but only four hangers. We asked repeatedly for a bath mat to prevent slipping in the tub. Nada.

Very new and clean. The front desk staff were a pleasure.

We were in an interconnected room… which was TOO NOISY I do not recommend this type of room arrangements. Overpriced for this type of hotel.

Nice comfortable room and mattress Plenty of coffee shops and food options available within walking distance Quite location

Room was small, felt a bit dated, but very adequate. Loved the rooftop bar!

The silicone around the athtub in the room was alreadyblack in some places. The room wasnt very clean , and there was hair on the furniture. There was also an old, musty smell in the room.Very expansive parking. We came on two cars, paid 88$ for one night plus 21.87 taxes

It’s ok, nothing special. I’d say ok for business travel, not what I’d prefer for leisure travel.

Super disorganized, room not ready at check in time, showers terrible, no soap or many other basic amenities in rooms, elevators constant problems, room booked w. 2 beds not available. super expensive

The room was ok. The shower head would not stay up so showering was a challenge. The roof top area was a nice surprise. But we were double charged for eating in the cafe in the lobby and getting this situation resolved has been very difficult. The hotel was in a decent area with a lot around within walking distance but I don’t think we will stay here again because of the lack of customer service.

Beautiful property that has a boutique feel. Great location bear the university with a rooftop bar and restaurant that offers beautiful views of Seattle.

Not in a condition that it can be associated with the Hilton brand! Condition needs substantial improvement like the hot water for the morning bath was very tepid. Breakfast options in the attached restaurants become limited after 9 a.m. Makes sense only if one has any work at the University, else other options up and down the Light rail route might be a better option.

Room and bathroom were fairly small. Lot of traffic on elevators to club on top floor was a bit frustrating.

Love the location. Bathrooms are old - drains are super slow. Someone on staff walked into my room even though door was locked and sign on door said do not disturb. Scared me!

Comfortable. Convenient location near fun food options.

The hotel staff were wonderful! Our room was quite cold and the thermostat did not work very well. Every day there were homeless people coming into the lobby which didn’t always feel safe for children.

The employees were friendly and helpful and the room looks tired and needs a little help. The roof top bar is nice but pricy and not much to do in the area. The train is convenient so that helps but all in all it was a good stay.

Great service.check in was flawless

Clean, friendly, convenient on your way to Northgate. 🙃

Shower had lukewarm water at best

Tv did not work. No heat. Thermostat did not work.

The hotel is tired. Needs a refresh.

The Mountaineering Club is cool and fun.

Great location close to campus and light rail

It is OK.

This property is too expensive. They do not have proper chair and tables that you can sit and work. Billing is terribly confusing. No short term parking. Dont recommend this.

easy to go to the University.

Nice place though starting to see the wear. In the tub, sheets. Its clean enough and cute.

It Was nice hotel, Water wasn't working though, it would of been nice to get to know that before checking in

Amazingly cool art deco decor. Lovely common spaces. Room had great views and comfortable.

Fantastic art deco decor and art in rooms, rooftop bar, cozy coffee shop, and really friendly staff. Especially convenient for visiting UW campus. Can’t wait to visit again!

No Air Conditioning & housekeeping Didn't make up our room. A Hilton hotel in America with No Air, really.

Upon arriving he asked why were

Had reserved suite for months. Open floor plan king size bed. They told me they were changing me because they needed a roll in shower for someone else. Put me in a suite not open floor plan with a queen size bed. Same price. Told the desk and they said I was wrong. Doublechecked reservation email and I did have the king size bed. Had it booked for months why would they do this to me ? And tell me I was wrong. Really feel ripped off paying around 350 for a queen bed.

The Graduate is a fun, retro hotel. Its location is close to the Ave, restaurants, and the University. The U District is a vibrant area.

Love staying at this hotel. So convenient to the Light Rail and University of Washington

very little amenities in the room, stain on the bed, no hot water in the morning, walls are paper thin and you can hear everyone around you and there’s creepy art above the bed, lol. the parking situation is weird and expensive and there is no room service. staff was very friendly but not professional. would not go back to stay but the rooftop bar is the best part and the location is great.

Love Graduate hotels -always

Great staff, convenient location. Room was nice, with fun decor. Lounge on the top floor was great with a nice view.

Friendly staff, convenient location

We really wanted to like this hotel, but just didn’t. First, the good: really close to UW and the link, front desk staff was friendly and helpful even with unreliable internet making their job much harder. Also, the Mountaineering Club on the top floor was fun- but awkwardly found out as hotel guests, even with table reservations, you can’t just go up there, you have to go down to the lobby to have someone use the secret elevator card pass to get you there. The first floor coffee shop has good coffee and sandwiches but at times can be understaffed and out of many food items. The lobby is spacious and nice to sit and work. The bad: Hilton needs to put significant money into upkeep. While the hotel is supposed to feel nostalgic and classic- it just feels tired and old and like you’re staying at Disney’s Hollywood Tower of Terror Hotel. I think I can feel what this hotel once used to be, and it was very cool. Literally everything needed attention- long extension cords serving as outlets in the rooms, missing artwork on the walls leaving only their hardware and scratch marks from where they once were. Walls in need of painting, carpets in need of deep cleaning, furniture needs repaired, elevators need servicing. It’s all livable and relatively clean but disappointing. We only required one day of housekeeping in our 4 night stay and we returned to find our tip gone, dirty towels taken but not replaced but nothing else done- trash still full, beds unchanged.
