We were not told the property is undergoing construction!The restaurant was closed and they only offered free coffee from 5-7am! Ridiculous! Not enough towels, several outlets didn’t work, no water bottles offered in the room. The AC unit kicked on and off very loud during the night. We’ve stayed at other Graduate Hotels and this was a disappointment. Seemed to be short on staffing too. Disappointed in Hilton!!

A complete disappointment

The hotel location is excellent, but that’s about it. Nothing else measured up to the price we paid. The hotel was under renovation, so the lobby, elevator and hallways were all dusty and dirty. The shower stall was badly constructed, and water flooded across the bathroom floor and into the bedroom. Parking was by valet only, which turned into an unexpected and unwelcome cost and inconvenience. (The parking places are right there next to the entrance, so I would have rather gotten directly into the car myself without assistance.) “Breakfast” was a grab and go of overpriced coffee and muffins. We elected to go out and found a nice breakfast place in the neighborhood instead. None of the staff members were particularly cordial or responsive to our disappointment with the condition of the hotel.

Under renovations check prior to booking

This hotel is apparently under renovations and we werent told. So, no lounge and no restaurant!! Also, there is renovations going on in other places in this hotel. The ac was extremely noisy and it sounded like water dripping everytime the ac went off.

I was not aware they were undergoing a renovation from The Lumen to becoming a Graduate by Hilton hotel. So there was active construction and work going on during my stay and The Front Room restaurant was not open. That being said, I was told it is slated to be complete by April 2025, and the style and amenities of the new brand look great so far. Also the staff was really accommodating- including Gilbert at the front desk check in who gave me a place to work while I waited for my room to be ready. I look forward to coming back when all of the upgrades are complete!

Under renovations

The hotel was clean, the staff was very friendly. The issues we found were the hotel is under renovations and so there is no restaurant, no bar, no room service. Some rooms have been renovated but poor lighting, no closet, no wardrobe dresser, no mirrors to get ready if the bathroom one is being used, amenties are just not there for the cost. I wish they would have indicated they were under renovations, so we could have opted for a different place.

Do not stay if you don’t like construction grime.

The hotel is under major renovation. Most of the hotel is roped off and what is open looks like a construction site with temp walls and cardboard taped on the floor. The room was filthy and dirty. Pool and gym were closed. None of this was disclosed. This hotel should not be open while this level of construction is taking place. We left after 30 minutes and booked a different hotel for the weekend. I have requested hotels.com to issue a refund.

What a disappointment for $329 per night. Under heavy construction, not sure that was mentioned when booked. Room wasn't ready til 3:30 so had to change in their absolutely disgusting bathroom. No mini fridge in room or any real closet space. Shower water got all of the floor. Great location but too many negatives.

Unexpected construction

Was not aware when we booked that hotel is under construction. No front desk, ground floor cold and papered up for renovation. Our room was nice and seemed clean but electric outlet by bed didn’t work, bathroom sink was backed up and the coffee offered was a packet of instant coffee. Very quick trip and location was convenient so worked for us but felt price should have reflected the current state of the hotel.
