    All the employees were super informative and helpful with restaurant recommendations, sites to see etc. Valet parking was a little pricey but once we parked, we took Uber everywhere. The hotel is adorable. I loved everything about it. The roof top bar was really a fun experience and the coffee shop in the lobby was very good. We only got to stay one night but really enjoyed it.

    The Graduate is all about the vibe. Lots of bachelorettes which you need to be prepared for. Employees not very talkative during check in and seemed to be bothered. Coffee shop needs help very slow service and finally just gave up trying to get coffee.

    Personally I feel this hotel could have spent a little more on the practical and a little less on the ‘quirky’ decor. Not a ‘bad’ hotel by any means but definitely not worth the money per night compared to other Hilton hotels. Period.

    We had coffee at poindexters each morning and dinner at White Limozeen was excellent. I highly recommend the seafood trio; oysters, caviar, tuna tartare. It was delicious. And Kevin really stood out as exceptional. He went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed ourselves. He stood out not only at white Limozeen but honestly provided the best service we had the entire four days that we were in Nashville (and we had great service everywhere.)

    Cute kitschy hotel with an old Nashville theme. There was an event at the pool, so very crowded for a space that is much smaller than the photos. Powdered coffee in room with a tea kettle and no tea. There is a coffee bar in the lobby though. You can self-park in a garage with security adjacent to the hotel. Cheaper than valet parking. I'd recommend for tourists.

    White limozeen had delicious cocktails and shareables. Poindexter coffee and pastries hit the spot. The complimentary water is a nice touch. The staff is lovely. The elevator and hallway carpets could have been more meticulously maintained, they distracted from all the other great things about the graduate.

    Very disappointing stay. I just had one overnight and planned my trip around my stay so that I can visit this Dolly inspired hotel. I was hoping to visit the rooftop bar, and pool but they had it booked for a private event, I asked the concierge and they were rude completely dismissing me. I even asked if I can visit the next morning and was told it would not open until 2:00 PM…what a disappointment, and they even charged me a resort fee.

    The room was very nice and clean. The outside rooftop bar area is very nice but definitely needs a refresh and a good cleaning. Inside is nice the staff is kind of indifferent not engaging or welcoming. The valet did not great us or open our doors. They literally just stood at the stand we had to go to them to deliver keys and no one to help load or unload luggage. Maybe they aren’t suppose to help with luggage but as a valet they should at least greet you

    And on top of all of the above, we were given a key to someone else’s room when checking in. I entered the room to find someone else’s belongings as well as the bed messed up. I had to go back down and address this. They said housekeeping at flagged it as being ready/available. Also, I want to add that there is no parking, you have to pay $55/day for valet. The vibe is so adorable and I love all the decorations so very much! But the amenities aren’t worth the stay. I would just suggest visiting White Limozeen (their rooftop restaurant) and leaving it at that.

    I brought my sister to Nashville for her 49th birthday and I am so glad we stayed here at The Graduate. It is the most Darling place that we have ever stayed at. Not only was the hotel so cute, but the staff here were so pleasant and very helpful. The rooms are very spacious, clean, and the beds very comfortable. This is close to The honky tonks but far enough from all the busyness of it. There are plenty of restaurants lose by as well. The white limousine here at the hotel is nice the food is ok for quick bite the drinks were delicious. Would recommend 100 times over!

    Such a beautiful and unique hotel! Would highly recommend. My only reason for giving staff 4 stars vs. 5 is because it was very hard reaching a live person after calling the hotel multiple times. The chatbox was also of no help. I'd suggest removing that feature as it doesn't provide assistance.

    The light in the canopy above the bed on the left would not turn off. I went down to the lobby about 8:30 pm to notify someone and try to get it fixed, no one was at the front desk. I went back to the room and called the number to try and reach an employee but the phone just rang over and over. I called again and reached someone and they told me they would send someone from engineering up. No one ever came to fix this. I kept calling and no answer. It was very difficult to sleep in a bed with a light on the entire night. It was also very concerning that I wasn't able to find any employees of the hotel to help me in this situation.

The maintenance guy came to clean it but it still blew dust out so much that we moved who slept where so that they wouldn’t get dirt blown on them all night.

    Coffee bar downstairs was one of the best lattes I've ever had! Hotel design and rooftop wedding were well worth the stay on site Front desk was not as accommodating as we'd hoped. Called weeks ahead and set up adjoining rooms with friends to share childcare. When we arrived, they had no note of the request and could not even get us on the same floor which made logistics quite tricky as we were attending the rooftop wedding. Also had no note of our request for a crib and took quite some time, multiple reminders to bring up to the room.

    The location is perfect — close to everything, easy to get around, and surrounded by great food and nightlife. And we have to mention Critters, the hidden karaoke bar inside the hotel… it’s a total vibe! 🔥 Fun atmosphere, great music, and the energy was exactly what we wanted for a night out. If you’re looking for a playful, stylish, all-around memorable stay in Nashville, Graduate is definitely worth it. We’ll be back! 💕✨

    Overall this was such a wonderful stay! Adorable decor, friendly and helpful staff, easy parking, quiet location at night and nice amenities. The elevator room card touch screen thing is confusing and really slows things down. Every other guest I met in the elevator was also struggling with it. Our bathroom smelled less than fresh and the sink was stained and had a bunch of small cracks where the water flows.

    Great hotel and decor. Staff was really great. Bar service was slow at the rooftop restaurant. Our room was right next to the housekeeping so it was very noisy. We would definitely stay there again just request that our room isn’t next to housekeeping again.

    The place is incredibly overpriced for what you think the theme is. The rooms are tiny, the 1 bar is constantly full, you can’t even sit at it to enjoy a cocktail. The pool is also tiny. There aren’t any vending machines to get drinks for your room. I’d recommend just going in to the upstairs restaurant and bar, take a photo with the Dolly statue and stay somewhere else. Not worth the money at all.

    They were able to provide an in shower seat, but my sister who is in a wheel chair, had to step up into the shower and was unable to shower without assistance. This was a huge disappointment. They didn't do much to accommodate us beyond the in shower seat. Luckily she is able to move on her own with assistance, but if she wasnt it would have been impossible to use the bathroom in our room. The bathroom had no bars on walls, and in order to exit the room with the wheel chair, we had to push her into the bathroom. The door was also extremely heavy and she would not have been able to get out of the room on her own.

    We were so excited to stay at this property, but were disappointed in the room and so many hidden fees. The bedding was ripped and had holes in it and walls had lots of scuff marks. Seemed very worn for the cost we paid. Beware that reservations are required to access pool area. Be sure to read the fine print as a minimum food/beverage order of $100+ is required to access pool through the White Limousine. Hotel shows images of pool, but it is apparently not part of the hotel. Valet parking was listed online for $55, but they charged us $65 + hidden fees for our SUV which ended up being nearly $76 just for parking. Will not stay at property again or recommend.

    We were on a girls' trip in Nashville to see "Dolly: A True Original Musical," of course, we needed to stay at a hotel that featured Dolly Parton! We brought our Dolly PJs and even went to the lobby in them, where we had fun pictures made by other people staying there. Coldplay was also playing that night, so the hotel was full of fun people going to both events! It was a great experience! I would definitely recommend staying here!

    This was such a fun hotel to stay. The staff one was extremely friendly and pretty much said yes to everything. Not to mention the hotel is so cute and beautifully designed. The only issue is the pool situation. You have to make a reservation ahead of time for the pool. Which is very difficult to get into and very expensive as well. Other than that, I would definitely recommend staying here. You do have to Uber everywhere but it's only a five dollar Uber wherever you need to go.

    The hotel itself is very cute. I do think probably more women frequent this hotel with girls, trips, bachelorette parties, birthday parties, and things of that nature. With that being said… We all wish that the bathroom vanity was a little bit bigger and that there was better lighting for make up.

    The only downside is that the rooftop lounge and pool are separate from the hotel, so you still have to make a reservation to use that. It would be a nice perk if guests had some type of priority access or passes to the pool.

    We loved the decor and vibe of the hotel! White Limozeen on the roof was amazing too. The main negative for us was that the rooms weren't cleaned each day. When we asked the staff about this they said it was only available upon request at check in (which was never communicated to us.) This was really disappointing for a 4-star hotel and we had to remind the hotel 3 times before it did eventually get cleaned on day 3 and then it was done each day after that. Other than this downside, we had a pleasant stay.

    This hotel is everything if you’re into girly vibes, pink decor, and all things Dolly Parton! From the moment you walk in, it’s a total dream—so many adorable photo op spots everywhere you turn. The decor is stunning, super glam, and playful in the best way. The rooftop and pool area were such a vibe—perfect for hanging out during the day or grabbing drinks at sunset. The bars were fun, the drinks were great, and the staff was so friendly and welcoming. Our room was just as cute as the rest of the hotel, with sweet little touches that made it feel special. Such a fun and unique place to stay in Nashville—can’t recommend it enough for a girls’ trip or anyone who loves a little sparkle and sass! 💖✨🌟

    This hotel is beautiful and clean and was perfect for a quick girls weekend trip. We were however disappointed in the front desk staff. We had an incident where a maintenance man entered our room unannounced while we were getting ready one night. This really scared us and made us quite uncomfortable the rest of our trip as we were a group of 3 women and literally changing as he came in our room. We also were disappointed to not be able to take full advantage of our daily $20 food/ bev credit. We messaged the front desk about this issue and they were less than accomodating. We literally spent $1100 for a 2 night stay at this hotel and they vehemently would not honor one of our $20 credits. Very disappointing to say the least. Overall the hotel is beautiful but I do believe on our next trip to Nashville we will stay at another establishment that is more understanding to their customers when issues arise and willing to take their complaints seriously.

Stayed at several hotels in Nashville this was my least favorite so far. Rooms were cute but no reservations were available for white limousine even 2 weeks before trip. Should consider giving people who book a room that option after they book. Overall fun experience but maybe over hyped.

    Our stay at the Graduate Hotel was perfect. The hotel was new and clean , the room was beautiful. We did not see anyone come and clean our room the all time we were there (3nights) , but we had plenty of fresh towels in the closet. The area around was very nice and walkable to the Broadway. It took us 20 to 30 minutes to go to the Broadway but we mostly used Uber. The university was near by and the grounds were very nice to walk around.
