Graduate by Hilton Tempe

I have to shout out to this staff and property. I’ve stayed at the Graduate many, many times over the years for work and I love it. The rooms are clean and serviceable, most with balconies, and can’t beat the location for university proximity. Also good for longish stays (tv/hdmi, convenient outlets, yadda yadda). Excellent mid/high level hotel. I wish the restaurant downstairs were open later, but great bar and food place til 10 most nights off the pool with cute outdoor seating and fire tables. Had to move rooms for a me-thing, and the front desk team took care of it in spades. As someone who travels every week, this was all greatly appreciated. Thanks 🙏

I stayed at this hotel a long time ago and was very happy to come back! The front desk staff were friendly and smiling. We arrived in the morning, and since our room was already ready, they kindly let us check in early — which was very nice and convenient. The room is not very large, but the beds are very comfortable and clean. I really enjoyed the outdoor pool and the jacuzzi under the bright sunshine — it was great! The only small downside is that the shower is fixed to the wall. It would be even better if there were also a handheld shower, but the water pressure and temperature were excellent. Overall, it’s a pleasant, comfortable hotel, and I’ll be happy to stay here again when I come back to Tempe.

I have stayed here several times. Graduate Hotels are a bit of a unique style. It might not be for everyone. But what I will say is that I spoke to at least four different employees at this location and I had some questions and requests. EVERYONE SINGLE EMPLOYEE that I spoke with went above and beyond! They were friendly, positive, and helpful, from the front desk to the restaurant to housekeeping. I hope that the employees are recognized and rewarded for their excellent service!

The hotel was a great stay. Staff was cordial and went out of their way to care for my needs. Tyler and Ryan were excellent at check in and out. The room was very comfortable for my stay. If coming to Tempe again I would stay here!

It’s truly a gem of a place. I was very impressed not only with the location, but also with the hospitality and overall atmosphere. Ryan was top-notch, incredibly welcoming, and went above and beyond by personally checking on the electric vehicle charging station for me.

Terrible breakfast. Basically the only hot item was the bartender going over to the grab n go, grabbing a frozen Jimmy Dean Sausage Egg and Cheese biscuit, and proceeding to absolutely burning the heck out of it on a Turbo Chef oven. The rooms were nothing special. TV remote was out of battery. The food is just bad. They look like they used to have a restaurant before but closed it down. Now all you have is the bar area that has as small kitchen.

Hotel's outdated with old building smells. Room is okay but is not worth the money you pay for it. Breakfast is by order about $20 per person. Self parking for $15 per night. Staff members are nice and helpful. Would not recommend it if you don't have to stay closer to ASU campus.

The rooms are clean even though the amenities are basic. What makes the hotel stand out is the staff — they are friendly, caring, and simply the best of Arizona. A staff at the front desk, Ryan Alvarez, made the guests feel home and happy to be in Tempe and at the Graduate by Hilton
