My wife and I were in Cincinnati for a couples trip and the Graduate was conveniently located. I liked what I saw on the app and the experience was even better than expected. I am very pleased we chose the Graduate

Hotel is adorable and very clean. Beds were some of the most comfortable I've ever had in a hotel. Staff was incredibly friendly - especially the bartender Cathy.

A whimsical, modern and comfortable place to stay near UC and the zoo. Can walk to campus and the zoo and there is a cafe for morning food and coffee and a bar for evening food and drink. Staff can be a bit hit or miss but generally highly recommend this Graduate location.

Great hotel! Our only issue was the tv went out and they wanted to move us to another room. Too much of an I inconvenience to move.

Location is nice and close to the zoo- we were easily able to walk there. Staff were super nice, especially Michelle at the bar. They only give you one coffee packet in your room which I found odd and you have to buy coffee in the AM (other Hilton’s I stayed at had a coffee station) but other than that nitpick, it’s a great place.

Our stay at the Graduate was excellent. It is located in a central area and was very close to everything we were in Cincinnati to see. The service in the hotel was terrific and everyone there was very friendly!!

This is our second time staying here. We enjoy the hotel and location. There have been some changes since our last stay. New ownership and parking is now an additional charge. The room keys are also no longer student ID cards, we just thought that was a fun touch. The bedding and chairs in the room had stains this time around. Would probably still continue to stay here as the rest of the room was clean and sometimes stains just don't get noticed.

For the price of the rooms it seems a complimentary breakfast should be offered. Beds good, rooms very clean. Not real impressed with room decor, over the top.No swimming pool.
