Excellent w great character and charm. An older and ‘classic’ hotel that looks newer and fresh as opposed to worn and tired.

Great hotel in the ghetto
Great hotel with a delicious coffee shop, we enjoyed our stay but likely wouldn’t return. Although it’s located near one of the best schools, the area feels unsafe. Bikers and vehicles without license plates frequently disregard traffic laws, terrorizing the streets. Walking around, Harlem felt safer by comparison.

The staff is very hospitable. She let me check in early and helped us with luggages as the elevator was out of order for a while. I really like the library set up so I was able to focus on working for a long while as my husband needs to use the desk in the room. The location is the best. I wish they had free bottled water in the room. The cafe in the lobby is very nice.

Personality galore
By far the best decor I have seen in a reasonably priced hotel. No cookie cutter hotel design here! Would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Not up to Hilton standards
The hotel is nice but different from other Hilton hotels.
When I book a room at a Hilton I expect a certain level and the hotel feels like a youth hostel.
The stay at the hotel was disappointing.

The Graduate is hidden gem right in the center of New Haven. Its European decor offers a throwback to English elegance and flair. My room was gorgeous and the bed ultra comfortable. The staff was great and the Poindester coffe lounge is comfy, cute and a great place to hang out and work. I will stay here again when I return to New Haven

The area was unsafe, especially after dark—there was no easy way to get luggage to the hotel through the front door. There were a lot of stairs, and we had to carry our luggage up ourselves; there was no ramp or assistance available.
