The man at the reception was wonderful, but the parking was awful (under construction and we got stuck getting out). The room was a bit shabby, but ok, until we tried to sleep. Every time the air system came on it sounded like a medium sized rodent was scrambling around inside the system. It woke me up about every 1/2 hour. Could not wait to check out!

The property is in a great area and close to many restaurants and bars. It was also walkable to JPJ. The rooms are dated. The air unit was extremely noisy all night and we were unable to adjust the temperature.

Save yourself a trip to the body shop, self park.

Hotel was nice and most staff were kind, friendly, and helpful despite the large volume of people trying to check in at the same time ahead of a show at JPJ area. The exception was the valet. I saw him get into a verbal altercation with a pedestrian that he almost hit with someone else’s car. We also witnessed the valet drive like a maniac when out of view of the lobby area. We decided to self-park. I could have done without the fish hanging above the beds but that is probably a me thing and not a Hilton thing.

My shower had no seat or grab rails to hang on to when washing feet etc. Easy to slip for seniors like me. Also very difficult to turn on shower without getting sprayed with hot or cold water due to sliding glass panel next to shower control locked/immobile. However staff very understanding/helpful and worked to resolve the shower issue, All in all a very pleasant stay.

Clearly the managers of this property did not Graduate from hospitality school. The lobby area is shabby, the halls are shabby, and the rooms are shabby. The decor of the hotel seems to be in the style of College Dorm Trash, perhaps they were actually sourced from college dorm dumpsters. Breakfast is non existent and the coffee shop provides warm dishwasher and sponges on buns for your only option. Stay away from this dump of a hotel.
