Graduate by Hilton Auburn, AL - Auburn, Alabama

05/2025- I had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The ambiance was warm and inviting, with a thoughtful local touch that really made the experience unique. The room was decorated in a fun blue and orange football theme, which was both stylish and appropriate for the location. It was spacious, spotless, and everything was in excellent condition.

The staff were friendly and helpful, and I appreciated the abundance of towels provided. One of the highlights was the rooftop bar—perfect for getting some work done in the evening while enjoying a drink and the view. I also tried the cafe breakfast, which was quite good.

The hotel’s location is ideal, right across from the engineering campus. I noticed they have bikes available too, which would be a fun way to explore the area.

If I had to note one small drawback, it would be the in-room coffee situation. Instead of a coffee machine, there was just a kettle, and all the coffee provided was decaf. I’m not sure if that was intentional to encourage guests to visit the cafe or just an oversight, but normally you’d expect a mix of regular and decaf options. Still, it’s a minor detail and didn’t take away from an otherwise excellent stay.

Overall, I highly recommend this hotel if you’re planning a visit to Auburn.

Met Justin at Valet and he was amazing! Very helpful and friendly and started us out on the right foot. The hotel check in was smooth and room was ice cold and beautiful. Heading out to Sky Bar for a cocktail which is located next door. Great first time hotel experience.

Stayed here for a networking event down the street at the college of business. Very nice newer hotel with an over the top Auburn theme which you’ll love if you’re affiliated with the school. The restaurant upstairs was great with rooftop views of campus. Be aware hotel has no ice machines or vending, but ice available from restaurant or front desk.

One of the nicer Graduates I have been to. There are now 35 of them in college towns across the nation. Great building with lovely common spaces. Be sure to visit the back lounge filled with couches. Great reading book and quieter than the lobby.

I pulled up to valet and Justin greeted me immediately, he was so friendly and welcoming after a long day of moving out! Justin made sure I had everything I needed before I left my car. He went through the details of how to pay, how to request my car and approximately how much time it should take to bring it to me. Excellent service and conversation!

I had a phenomenal experience at this hotel. The front desk staff was incredibly accommodating, assisting with a last-minute booking to provide shelter from bad weather, and I couldn’t have been more pleased with my stay. Both the front desk team and housekeeping were attentive, kind, and understanding, especially when I requested a late check-out due to my cat’s preference to stay an extra night (sorry for that). I sincerely appreciate the efforts of everyone who contributed to making my stay so comfortable. The rooftop was a wonderful place to unwind and celebrate my birthday, offering both relaxation and a stunning view. Marcus is probably the funniest bartender. I am truly grateful to the entire team for making this such a memorable and enjoyable experience. 10/10 will be back!!

Thank goodness for Scott N and JP’s reviews!!. Check out their reviews for details.They covered everything that I thought about this hotel. The theming is SUPER fun and the overall look of the hotel is lovely and makes you excited to be in Auburn. That being said, the rooms and bathroom were clearly designed by someone who has never stayed at a hotel and never taken a shower.||PROS: fabulous decor! Comfy beds, LOCATION LOCATION, fun rooftop bar! AMAZING Auburn theme with so much attention to detail. ||Inconveniences:|THE PHONE: Our toilet was stopped up from the time we got there, which I understand happens, but there were ZERO instructions on how to call the front desk. The adorable orange phone (rotary look) was not labeled, so we tried 0, 0#, 0*, etc. etc. finally we had to get dressed and go downstairs and ask for a plunger. Hopefully this will be resolved with a sticker or leaflet. ||THE BATHROOM: JP covers this, but there is nowhere to put toiletries, etc on the sink. In the showers, there’s nowhere to put shampoo, body wash, etc. you must get all the way in the shower to turn on the shower because the handle is behind the door. COLD!!||UNPACKING: all drawers are fake. There were 2 cabinet door that opened, but 1 had a fridge. Tiny dark closet||CONCLUSION/EXPECTATIONS: I am not saying that you shouldn’t book this hotel necessarily, but just manage your expectations. Had I known of the inconveniences, maybe it wouldn’t have bothered me so much. If I were staying more than 1 night and with more than 1 other person, we would have gone nuts, because we had our suitcases on the floor and there is NOWHERE to put your stuff in the bathroom. The decor is fun and good looking, the location is perfect, the Rooftop Bar is wonderful, but the inconveniences of the room would give me a lot of pause if I were there more than 1 night or the rates were exorbitant during football/basketball!

Loved the interior design of eclectic patterns and fabrics that bleed blue and orange. The beds were comfy and spacious. The rooftop bar had great staff and a beautiful view. Location is superb if you are visiting the college. Everything walkable. Be willing to pay valet because parking is terrible. The breakfast wasn't great and was over priced but overall stay was great!
