I recently stayed at Graduate By Hilton Minneapolis and found it to be a great experience overall. I loved the charming university-themed decor and the comfortable atmosphere in both the lobby and my room. However, I did encounter some noise issues from the light rail outside, which might trouble light sleepers like myself.

I had a decent stay at Graduate By Hilton Minneapolis, enjoying the unique decor and quick check-in, but some issues took away from the experience.

Overall, it's a solid choice, but there are definitely areas for improvement.

My stay at Graduate By Hilton Minneapolis was a mixed bag. The location was convenient for my conference at U. Minn., and the room was clean and reasonably priced. However, I wasn't a fan of the quirky decor that felt more suited for alumni, and I had a frustrating experience with the bathroom amenities not being refilled promptly. Overall, I would rate it a solid 6 out of 10. 🤔
