Great location, easy to get around. Main issue was that outlets in room either did not work or were very loose, creating potential danger with arcing. Was unable to charge phones. Air conditioner unit was noisy even when placed in off position, required ear plugs to sleep.

I have stayed at this property now five times and each time we had a good stay. However, this stay, I found that the hotel was lacking in cleanliness and basic amenities. The price that I paid for this day was extremely high. our room did not come with complementary water bottles. The shower had mold and dirt growing in the cracks the one elevators doors on the interior word, disgustingly dirty the lobby should be able to offer complementary water upon arriving or whenever there is no breakfast offered with the fee that I paid per night, every time the air conditioning clicked on in the room. It made a loud noise starting us awake I’m not sure if I will be staying at this property again.

I reserved a 2 bed handicap accessible room. I got there, theydidn't have tge ttpe of room I reserved. They put me in a stinky mildewy room where the floor had been wet. I found this out when I took off my shoes and my socks got soaked. Then put me in another stinky room that smelled like the toilet had overflowed. Breakfast restaurant was nice.

A bit dated but ok

A good hotel in a good location. We stayed here for 9 nights. The hotel is close to the University, Restaurants, Shopping, etc. Parking area a bit dark for our liking after sunset if you are concerned about safety. Sadly there were a few critters crawling around in our room which I killed and that's the main reason we didn't score this better.

The property felt as if it was a lower grade hotel. Some of the people staying looked like they belong in a motel 6. Just didn’t feel like a Hilton used to be.

DATED Room

The room I was in was VERY DATED….The shower came with a bench that. Had to be folded up with ties…. The shower nozzle had to be manually held in the direction that I wanted the water to spray- it didn’t stay in a streaming direction by itself
