I was highly disappointed. I paid $300 for one night. Forced to get valet parking for an extra $70 if i didn't want to pay for public parking. My room had toenail clippings in the floor. There were two large stains on the carpet. Furniture was broken and badly glued back together. A hole in the bathroom door was horrible patched and just painted over. There are water stains in the bathroom. A new piece of artwork was hung below existing hardware for a previous picture. Having to pay for coffee in the lobby. You guys already have my $300, what else do you want?

Everything was perfect, Rachel at the front desk was very nice and welcoming during the check in process and recognized my status as a Hilton Honors member which was nice since she’s the first one to mention it and I’ve been an honors member for two years. The room was nice and clean and so was the bathroom but I have to say the elevators got me and my friend dizzy every time we used them and this has never happened before so I’m not sure what it could be, they also sound old. We went to the bar once but we really enjoyed our drink and the service provided. We didn’t get to try the breakfast so I’m not sure if it’s good or not. They have valet parking which is nice didn’t have any problems and was also given good service. Overall I would probably stay here again and recommend it to others.

Our stay was great! Our friends and I stayed the night for my husband’s birthday and most the staff was very friendly and efficient! However, I unfortunately need to address was experience with valet. Pulling up the valet attendant seemed dazed, confused, sweating profusely; and I was concerned that maybe he was experiencing some sort of heat stroke or dehydration at first. He was swaying a bit when he leaned down to our driver window and asked us what we are here for and we had to repeatedly assure him that we had a reservation already booked after he told us that the hote was booked out. He then simply, empty eyed, stared at us and finally asked for my name. After his slurring, we climbed out the car and I went to grab our bags from the trunk. Before I even finished pulling things out the valet driver began to drive with me half way bent into the trunk😨 Our car has a feature that it will loudly & repeatedly beep if the trunk is open while in Drive (also rear view mirror🙄) he didn’t hear me or my guests callinf him to stop until his coworker shouted loudly enough for him to realize. We’ve yet to check out and I’m hoping our vehicle is in the same condition as it was before it was parked by that specific attendant (especially for a $70 single overnight charge?). Checking in we were all left wondering if staff isnt accommodated for the heat and he experience dehydration or if he was just really high on the job… driving vehicles for guests.
