Premier service and solidly reliable stay
Pros:

My husband and son stayed here when my son had a medical procedure at Cincy Children’s. They were great. At some point my son lost his glasses, but we weren’t sure if it was at the hotel. I stopped by a couple weeks later and Jason at the front desk and Karen in housekeeping went way out of their way to help look for them! Service here is alwyas strong.

The places is great and beautiful ,the atmosphere was peaceful , I would stay again.
Pros:

We didn't get to eat any of the breakfast, they was very busy, we stood there for 20 mins, before I asked was anyone going to take our order. They wasn't taking anymore orders because it's was only one cook in the back. So we had to go elsewhere.

The Graduate by Hilton in Cincinnati: Amazing staff and excellent property to complete your stay!
Pros:

Staff was awesome!!! Felt welcome immediately. Lobby was open, spacious, and colorful. Front desk staff throughout my staff we courteous and helpful!!! Room met my expectations and Fiona's cafe satisfied my needs!

Cons:

There really was not anything that I disliked. I would recommend having a microwave in the room. But through the room description, it was already stated that there was no microwave. So, I have no complaints.

Disappointing stay
Pros:

Close to campus

Cons:

This was our 4th time staying here and will be our last. Check in was supposed to be at 4. Was told that we wouldn’t be able to check in until at least 4:30 due to a large group that had checked out late. Asked if they could text when room was ready, said they don’t have that capability. Was offered a code for the parking garage that did not work. Had to pay $10.00 the next morning to get out of garage.

A shocking breach of security and accountability
Pros:

⭐☆☆☆☆
As a longtime Hilton Honors Diamond member, I’ve stayed in hundreds of properties around the world — and I have never experienced anything like this. During my stay at The Graduate Cincinnati, my purse was stolen from inside my locked room.
At first, management seemed concerned and admitted that housekeeping had left my door open for about 15 minutes. However, when I escalated the issue to loss prevention, the story changed completely. Suddenly, no one could take responsibility — despite the hotel’s own admission that the door was left unsecured.
The lack of accountability and empathy was appalling. Not only did the hotel fail to ensure basic guest safety, but the follow-up was dismissive and defensive. Being told “we’re not responsible” after your personal belongings are stolen — because their staff left your room open — is absolutely unacceptable.
If you value your safety and peace of mind, do yourself a favor and stay elsewhere. There are plenty of hotels in Cincinnati that actually care about their guests and take security seriously.
