Graduate by Hilton Auburn, AL

We stayed here while our dog was at the university hospital and could not have been more grateful to the staff. They upgraded our room due to low demand after graduation, and were flexible on our checkout date as we didn’t know when we would be leaving. We ended up staying six night and were met with nothing but kindness and grace whenever we entered or exited the hotel. Will definitely stay here again whenever we need to overnight in Auburn!

Admittedly, I am not an Auburn fan as I went to another SEC institution. That said, came away very impressed with not only Auburn, but with our great stay at the graduate! ||The decor is awesome, the interior decorator’s deserve a raise. The rooms are very well appointed and comfortable. Rooms were clean and very well maintained. ||The graduate is centrally located and great for walking to campus. ||We ate dinner at the supper club… service was a little slow, but overall the food was good. The views from the supper are fantastic. ||Great location and Hilton property, would gladly stay again.

This was a very disappointing experience while planning our wedding. The Graduate required a large room block at a rate that matched public pricing, meaning guests had no incentive to book through the block while we carried all the financial risk. Despite providing ample notice and having very low pickup, a common reality with weddings, the hotel refused to make any meaningful accommodations or adjustments. The lack of flexibility and empathy during an already stressful planning process was extremely frustrating. I would strongly advise future wedding couples to carefully review the room block terms and understand that changes in guest attendance may not be met with any accommodation. This was not the supportive experience we hoped for.

I give this 5 stars for the unique vibe, luxury linens, spacious room, and location. The Auburn and Bo Jackson theme was entertaining, creative, at times a little odd, but somehow luxurious. I was hesitant because the room had paint splatters on the window, a missing baseplate tile in the bathroom, and loud banging throughout the night. Coffee shop in the lobby was surprisingly better than most of the coffee shops in town. Very walkable to the school, restaurants, shops, etc. Staff was incredibly kind and hospitable. Valet was surprisingly affordable. I now want to visit all of the Graduate girls in the list.

Returning to Auburn after quite some time and staying at the Graduate was a lovely experience. As expected the location and decor is top notch and true to Auburn’s traditions and culture. But service and kindness is where this hotel truly excels above others. We especially would like to recognize the valet team as well as the stuff of the Supper Club for the great conversations and welcoming attitudes. For those considering staying in Auburn I believe the Graduate is the only option; you won’t be disappointed! We are already looking forward to our next trip. Thanks from your friends from the Netherlands 🇳🇱

Great place to stay if you're on vacation and have time to wait. Valet is great but can only handle so much. Not a very conducive work environment. The staff is pleasant but laid back. Overall it's a great place to stay if the university is your main goal.

Great location within walking distance to restaurants, shopping, and the campus. We were only there for 1 night, so we didn't interact with the staff or see much of the hotel, but the desk staff greeted us as we entered. The hotel has a upscale feel and the decor is definitely in an Auburn University motif. Despite the hotel being next door to very active nightlife, our room was very quiet (and clean). I didn't see any parking at the location. They do have valet parking and it looked reasonably priced, but when we arrived the valet area was backed up. We instead parked overnight in the Wright St Parking Deck adjacent to the hotel and had no issues. It did take until 5:30-6:00 pm before the digital key was ready, but it may have just been a busy time for the hotel. We walked around town and ate dinner, so that wasn't a big deal. We will definitely try to stay here again the next time we're in Auburn.

My trip to the Graduate was nothing short of amazing. The War Eagle Supper Club was perfect and the Graduate’s Auburn theme was so cool to see. The staff were amazing and treated me so nicely. Even the younger valet, Brady, treated me with upmost respect while there. He held a conversation extremely well, and I hope to see more people like him working there.

Rarely are there hotels that impress as much as The Graduate. This property is last year's addition to the town of Auburn and is located next to a place steeped in legends: right across from the Skybar. The design of the hotel is something that is hard to compare to anything else. Full auburn theme, colors and details like stitching throughout the rooms. It appears like an extreme concept on the surface, yet, it's executed beautifully. This is not your run of the mill Westin or Hilton, it's a property with a lot of character and building something like this could not have been cheap. It feels bespoke and hits well above its price point. The rooftop bar is a venue on its own, providing incredible views of Auburn and a very reasonably priced wine selection. The food there is mediocre, but it's a great spot for drinks. Downstairs is a coffee shop, Bo Jackson's Beans, which maintains the design aesthetic and completes the lobby in a great way. The team is quick to respond and is very efficient to all guests needs. All around, this is a gorgeous boutique hotel that isn't just unique, but deeply rooted in Auburn culture.

Love the location & room. The valet is hard with only room for about 5 cars at a time. The front desk staff are young & act disinterested. Fri night & not a game weekend. The woman just gives me the keys & doesn't offer any info...no valet info, no food or other info. Had to ask questions. Sad for this level of hotel. The room is nice. Just know you can hear the Sky Bar across the street late at night. We were tired so it didn't bother us. Early AM it's the delivery trucks. The food is not great upstairs. Nice coffee bar. Added another night & front desk ok on phone. Prices are high but staying by 85 is not recommended in my opinion. Nice to walk downtown. One young woman at the front desk walks away when people come up. Not great & sets a tone for the hotel. Recommend staff training & mgmt be present as mostly young staff running the place. Great potential if more customer focus people.

This place is super cute! From the lobby to the rooftop bar, everything about this place was great! I would definitely recommend coming here if you are in Auburn. I got Aubie's Spiked Lemonade to drink, and it was delicious! One of the best cocktails I've had!

What a great place to stay if you want a taste of Auburn/Southern Charm! We were greeted at valet, the front desk and valet again the next day. Everyone was so kind and polite. Our first room had an issue with the door lock so we were upgraded to a slightly larger room at no extra charge! It's a perfect place to stay if you are going on a college tour. Colorful, bright, clean and friendly!

Beautiful property with so many Auburn touches. Well staffed at checkin and of course lots of Southern Charm. This was opening weekend, but other than rooftop restaurant not yet open, they were prepared. Only two floors open for this weekend. Valet only at $25/day. We look forward to coming back again soon.

Reviews can either be the dregs of the barrel or the top of the Mountain. Welcome to the top of the mountain GRADUATE HILTON AUBURN, AL! While the facilities are second to none, it is the staff that truly sets The Graduate apart from any other hotel in the area, and many I have availed myself of nationwide. A shoutout to Whitten Stuckey (Valet), Luis Alcantara (Supervisor Front Desk), McKenzie Polewski (Front Desk), Mikiela Pugh (Front Desk), Jazelle Lwasa (Front Desk), Ben Brewton (Just roaming around but being great at it), David Weiss (Food and Beverage), and Mary Jack Gordon (Barista Extraordinaire!). Each of these individuals went above and beyond in their efforts to ensure that I had a memorable stay. Well Done Graduate By Hilton Auburn. Well Done! L. D. Walker, III

The details of this hotel were amazing. From the Chandeliers to wall paper in the bathrooms. This Hotel IS Auburn! The location is perfect. We were here for a college tour. Everything is walking distance. The hotel opened only a few months ago. One thing that would be helpful would be a map of the Auburn campus. For anyone doing the tour it's about a 5-10 min walk to the Quad. No one could answer that question for me which I found odd. I would definitely come back to this hotel. We enjoyed our stay.

Great atmosphere, especially if you love Auburn! Front desk employees were outstanding, the valets, which is the only way to park, were great! Wish they would have explained the extended vehicle $10 extra charge. The restaurant upstairs was okay, they were still working the bugs out. Overall would stay there again

Really wanted to enjoy our stay here but it was a bust :/ we got 1 night away from kids (one has medical needs so we don't get this chance ever and we never get sleep!) and found this hotel a few mins down the road and was so excited bc it was our anniversary. Well we got NO SLEEP! The hotel should really warn people about the music til 230am coming from SKY BAR. We even turned on white noise on our phone and nope. Just kinda rude they didn't even warn us. I would have bought headphones or something! Also room was HOTTT. Oh and if you want to enjoy the restaurant upstairs don't believe them when they say they will text you when ur table is ready. Never got a text and then went up there and was told it was a wait to get outside. Just a huge mess and so disappointing for such a cute hotel.

Train wreck. Dont open until you are ready. You would think Hilton would have a launch team for the first few weeks. So valet closes at midnight. No onsite parking. So if you arrive after midnight you are out of luck. If you do arrive in time be prepared to wait 20 mins plus just to valet park. TV's in rooms not working properly. The supper club restaurant has one working tv. Not great for a college town bar on a game weekend. Kept hearing the excuse of we just opened a few days ago. Poor management. If you pay$900 a night you should expect $900 a night service

Most staff members were cheerful and courteous even if the hotel couldn't offer services needed .

The rooms are large but there is not even a stale cookie if you are checking in late, say after 10 PM on a Sunday night. The room has a few problems in terms of missing essential items but they are large and clean. There are fast food places nearby but they don't work for those with food allergies . The staff is replacing the missing items. The shower pan is plastic, it lacks a handheld device but the water is hot. The hotel provides extra fluffy towels but the shampoo , conditioner and body wash containers have remarkably stiff pumps . The parking is valet with app based payment system . The TV is pretty strange , i don't know if it's malfunctioning or I just dont understand how the remote works. This place is not top drawer but they are trying .

The only thing we loved was all the Auburn theme and memorabilia. The rooftop has great views and drinks but not great food. If you don't have a table or reservation, it's difficult to order drinks. The WiFi didn't work for us and our tv had quality issues which was weird since it's brand new. We were told we would have an extended room but it was a normal room. Nothing wrong with the room, it was just different from what was communicated. You can only valet so there's an added expense there. Valet team is nice and quick though. Cool vibes and great roof top view but other than that, probably not worth the price.

Hotel is SUPER cool, but what's NOT cool is when paying guests (paying a LOT by the way) on a game day weekend aren't allowed to go to the rooftop bar because there's a private event going on. Beyond ridiculous. Of course, the people running the event kept saying "we aren't affiliated with the hotel". Well guess who everybody's unhappy with - the hotel.
