This hotel is in a great location, walkable to the grocery, restaurants and nearby attractions. The staff were so friendly and excellent! The facilities are older and non-working elevators created a lot of wait-time and disruption to the weekend. At one point, my husband waited almost 40minutes to get on an elevator to the 11th floor. Upon checkout Sunday morning, many folks were carrying their bags down flights of stairs, because they could not get on an elevator. It's a real problem and makes return to this hotel very unlikely until the elevators are repaired and all in working order.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I rate this location a D- Dated, dirty, and dangerous. The rooms had clearly not been updated in a long time, the carpet was disgusting and tattered, and there was only 1 functional elevator for a 15 story hotel which created frustrating, dangerous, and inaccessible conditions. During check out I was unable to carry my bags down the stairs because they were too heavy and I waited 47 minutes for an elevator. Guests were overloading elevators because of the desperation of not having adequate options, despite warnings posted on the door to only have 5 guests at a time. To make things worse when I tried to address with Hilton they didn’t really seem phased. I regret booking here and would not recommend booking here.

If I could give this property a negative star I would. Do not stay here. I never leave bad reviews but this could not go and unsaid. The first room they gave us smelled like butane and there was a demoisturizing fan aerating the room next door. That was on the 15th floor. The second room they gave us smelled like a bunch of wet feet and the carpets were damp. There are no ice machines on any floors but said there was complimentary ice by the self checkout kiosks. There was never any ice available. There was also a dance competition going on so when we checked out the next day it took 45 minutes just to get on an elevator that was not full because one of them didn't even work. Then the valet was so backed up it took 30 minutes just for them to get my car. They also charge you money if you want early check-in. And the icing on the cake is that the H isn't even illuminated in Hilton on the side of the building. That's how much they care about this property.

Disappointed Guest Report

Upon entering the room, I expected at least basic standards of cleanliness and maintenance, but several issues immediately stood out: 1. Carpet Stains & Wear – The carpet is stained and unevenly cleaned in multiple areas, especially near walls and furniture. The patterns only highlight how worn and inconsistent the upkeep is. 2. Sink & Faucet Area – The sink shows signs of neglect, with visible grime and mineral buildup around the faucet. It’s not only unsightly but raises hygiene concerns. 3. Furniture Condition – The cabinetry is chipped and scuffed, with rust on the bottom edge and signs of long-term wear that haven’t been addressed. 4. Surfaces – Dusty, smudged, or sticky spots are visible on counters and furniture tops, indicating a lack of thorough cleaning between guests. 5. Wall & Fixture Maintenance – There are splatter marks and water stains around bathroom fixtures and walls. These should be cleaned regularly and are clearly overlooked. 6. Shower Shelf – The corner shelf in the shower is poorly maintained and looks unsanitary. The caulking is sloppy and aged, with visible residue. 7. Electrical & Bed Area – Behind the nightstand and bed, dust, food particles, and a tangle of exposed cords make the area feel neglected and unsafe—clearly not cleaned in quite some time. Overall, the room does not reflect the standard promised or expected. It appears superficially wiped down but not properly cleaned or maintained to meet guest expectations. This experience is f

Could be better

Had to wait in line for 45 minutes to check in. Not sure if there was not enough staff. Heard many people’s rooms were not ready. One elevator was broken. Makeup stains on towels. What I am hoping was white paint on the bed skirt. No fan in bathroom. Dirty carpet. Worn out chairs in lobby….

Check in is at 4pm....and no booked rooms were ready for anyone (There were long lines at the counters with persons sitting all around the area waiting on their room). They began offering folks free appetizers and drinks at the bar. When the time got past 6pm they started offering downgraded rooms with free valet and late check out, which we accepted because it was getting late and we had a function to attend that night. The room we originally booked was a suite, as we had our two kids with us, and needed the space. We ended up in a very small room with two double beds. The hallways and elevators smelled old and disgusting. We will never stay at this hotel again!!!
