Stylish, Welcoming, and Perfectly Located!
Pros:

I had a wonderful stay at Graduate Annapolis! The design is stunning and thoughtfully reflects Annapolis history and Navy tradition, giving the hotel a strong sense of place and so much personality.

My room was spotless, comfortable, and well appointed, making it easy to unwind after a day of exploring. The location is truly unbeatable, with an easy walk to the U.S. Naval Academy, downtown shops, restaurants, and the waterfront.

What really stood out was the staff. Everyone was warm, welcoming, and genuinely attentive, which made the stay feel effortless from start to finish. I would absolutely recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Annapolis and would happily stay here again!

Book a cheaper hotel, get free parking, continental breakfast.
Pros:

It was very pretty - the lobby and hotel itself was nice.

Cons:

For what the cost was, it’s a little ridiculous that parking isn’t included. The room was okay, nothing special. There was a large spot on the carpet that was damaged, which I feel like for a hotel of this status shouldn’t have had. I didn’t find it any better or worth a cost significantly higher than a standard hotel.

Awesome Hotel
Pros:

My Family stayed at The Graduate by Hilton Annapolis for Thanksgiving. The rooms were very clean, my bed was comfortable and Nick at the reservation desk was outstanding. Nick's kindness was felt throughout the group. He's a gem that shouldn't go unnoticed. We visited the Trophy Bar as everything around us was closed and I am so happy we did. Everyone really enjoyed the food and drinks. I would definitely stay again!!!!

nice hotel - poor front desk.
Cons:

No crib in room after being requested multiple times - after 24 hours traveling with a toddler I had to actually get a crib myself from the 6th floor after a lot of hassle with staff. When I told staff the next day they were disinterested. Front desk staff in general are unfriendly. When checking out I asked for a bill, was told it would be emailed - still nothing.

I was disappointed by the dirty bathroom floor, the scuff marks on the wallpaper in the room and the stain on the rug.
Pros:

The property location is convenient to downtown and it’s pet friendly

Cons:

I’ve been staying at this hotel for many years even before it became a Hilton. The cleanliness has gone downhill and attention to detail is lacking.

Great Barista
Pros:

Vanessa made me a wonderful Chai Latte to start my day. Then she suggested a blueberry muffin to go with my chai and it was absolutely delicious.

Govt Shutdown Victim
Pros:

Was looking forward to my stay here and a reunion with my USNA classmates. Unfortunately I accidentally booked a no refund room rate. Then the Government shutdown and FAA flight restriction delayed my outbound flight such that I would miss a connection to BWI and miss 2 of the three nights here. No choice but to cancel my flight and was refunded. I emailed the hotel management for a waiver of the "no cancel" policy. The response I received was obvious they never read my email as they said my details were insufficient even though I provided all the info they requested. They wanted proof the flight cancellation was directly related to the govt shutdown. I guess they are oblivious of the airport chaos that was taking place. Won't ever stay here and neither will my friends.

I do recommend and here's why...
Pros:

Vanessa at the coffee shop in the lobby was very hospitable and warm. She accommodated my requests when ordering coffee and seemed genuinely happy to help. The front desk staff is also very welcoming. My experience at this Graduate hotel in Annapolis is always excellent. I come here a couple times a year for work and love staying here. The only thing I would change is the instant coffee in the rooms. Most hotels have a coffee machine in each room. But that's not a deal breaker by any means. Just something to consider if you're a coffee lover like me. I definitely recommend this hotel. The location is wonderful for exploring all that Annapolis has to offer.
