The stay was fine. Room was clean and bed was comfortable. The valet was a bit rude and seemed irritated to have to deal with us. There was stinky food left in the refrigerator and no coffee maker, just an electric kettle and instant coffee. It was ok.

I usually enjoy staying at any Hilton but I can't say that about The Graduate. Positives the decor was unique and stylish. Negatives were the pool was closed, turned away from the rooftop deck twice due to overcrowding. Nickel and dime customers. Almost $40 for valet, which was a long wait, even had to pay for a coffee. If you can find a spot on the limited streets you had to walk by homeless people laying on the sidewalks. It was disappointing.

Great value, comfort, and location

This was our second time staying st Richmond Graduate, and it was still a great experience! Check-in was pleasant and easy, the room was spotless, and comfortable, and the location is fantastic (near downtown and only a few miles from one of the most unique areas of Richmond, Carytown.
