Don't stay here

Shower was clogged , pipes rattled , room was worn and dirty . They charge a 30 dollar urban fee which is crazy on top of valet , taxes and so many other fees . Asked for late check out and lady was rude . Will not stay here again and might need to reconsider being a Hilton honors member .

Meh

Reserved 2 beds, got one with upgrade. Upgrade was basically a conference table. TVs old and slow. The curtain was broken and let in the sun from the East. Hotel was nice but it was crazy busy. $30 extra fee plus expensive valet cost. Onsite restaurant had good food.

Large spacious rooms, great hot breakfast.. WiFi had good speeds, rooms were clean. There is a starbucks right in the lobby area. 15 minutes from the airport and right next to the convention center and Marriot hotels. However the bottled water in the rooms is not free. You are charged a whopping $4 for each bottle!

Breakfast and the happy hour were awesome. The on-site restaurant’s food was really good as well. Hotel is directly in front of free trolly which was also great. The rooms are dated but overall clean. The main issue is all the fees associated with this hotel. What you see on Travelocity is not the final price. They charge $30 daily “Urban Fee”. At the time we stayed we were given credit for food purchased at the hotel, but you have to pay it whether you use it or not. Also they require a $100 NIGHTLY deposit in conjunction with the Urban Fee. So what seemed to be a deal on Travelocity- turned out to be an average price for our stay. Also the hotel is centrally located and directly across from water views. Overall I would definitely stay again. It just would have been helpful to know all the fees beforehand.

The Trolley is right outside the Front entrance! Nice when you don’t have a car! Beds and bathroom very clean but the “ suite” area extremely old and dingy! Definitely needs upgrades! Free Breakfast Buffet delicious! Not close enough to any kind of convenience store or even a gas station! Had to uber to one.

For the price I paid, I expected a much better experience. There were hidden fees at check-in that weren’t clearly explained ahead of time, and the staff wasn’t very welcoming or helpful. I wouldn’t say they were outright rude, but their customer service definitely needs attention. Everything felt rushed and unclear. Not the experience I was hoping for especially considering the cost .To make things worse, the water had a strong, unpleasant smell every time I turned it on.
