This is a very colorful and fun hotel! The place is clean and amenities were great. During dinner I could spread out along a table with easy access to outlets for working on my computer. The food was excellent and the staff were friendly. I plan to stay there again and highly recommend.

Disappointing Experience at The Graduate by Hilton
While the room itself was fine, the overall experience was far from it. Communication and navigation at this hotel are a mess. The parking lot is poorly signed and confusing, leaving not just me but others lost as well—clearly an ongoing issue.
The bigger problem was my reservation. I booked two nights through Expedia but couldn’t make it the first night due to a massive snowstorm. Despite notifying Expedia and attempting to contact the hotel (unsuccessfully), they still gave my room away. I was charged for the night I couldn’t use and then had to rebook when I arrived. To make matters worse, my original king room wasn’t available, and I was stuck with a room with double beds, which was not comfortable.
The front desk staff promised a manager would contact me, but no one ever followed up. If you’re looking for smooth booking, good communication, and decent service, I wouldn’t recommend The Graduate.
The fact that it is the closest hotel to Cincinnati Childrens Hospital, was the key for us. The only negative was the shower size and pressure, other than that, the room was great.
We normally get a Airbnb but because this was a last min. trip we booked Graduate. This was the best experience I have had at a hotel chain. Free garage parking, clean, trendy and the room were super spacious.
I have to give a BIG shout out for Laurence; his customer service and beautiful energy made our check/hotel experience feel like coming home. Please treat and pay him accordingly because he is a treasure:)
