The Graduate by Hilton Seattle offers a mixed experience for guests. The rooms are often described as grubby, with some lacking basic amenities like fridges and microwaves. However, the hotel's friendly staff and great location near the University of Washington campus are highlighted as positives that keep guests coming back despite the room issues. The hotel's lobby and rooftop bar and restaurant are praised for their relaxing and enjoyable atmosphere. The rooftop provides stunning views of the city and campus, making it a popular spot for food, drinks, and taking in the sights. While the Graduate UW location is generally considered "just OK" compared to other Graduate hotels, the overall experience is described as a fantastic adult weekend getaway. The staff goes above and beyond to make stays special, and the convenience of the location allows guests to easily explore the nearby shops, restaurants, and local attractions. Despite some shortcomings in the rooms, the Graduate by Hilton Seattle offers a comfortable and enjoyable stay for those looking for a relaxing weekend in the University District, with the added bonus of the hotel's stylish common areas and rooftop amenities.

Sam and Amanda at the front desk were exceptional as was Cat who checked me in. Housekeeping and the bar staff upstairs were great too. I hope to be back soon!
