The shower had hair in it and the Malin and Goetz products were seemingly filled with something that oddly resembled Old Spice body wash. Also whatever cleaning product you're using in the rooms is way too pungent and intense. Staff was great though!

While the staff was very friendly, the accommodation was average. The bath mat was stained, there was hair in the tub and the valet app doesn't seem to work appropriately when attempting to retrieve your car. Additionally, which is no fault of hotel, but I was woken up at 6am to the smoke detector beeping because the backup battery was dead. I had to remove it from the wiring and slide it under the mattress just to stop the beeping. I'll likely stay at the Hilton a few blocks away next time, even though this is a Hilton affiliate.

Liked: Cleanliness
The day of check-in, everything was great. Friendly staff, nice room, etc. No complaints. The following day for check-out, not so much. For the first time in months, my wife and I were looking forward to sleeping in. Hence why we took a trip out of town to enjoy it. Do not disturb sign on the door and everything. We wake up at 8:40am to someone banging on our door. Now that we can't get back to sleep, we go down to get some coffee. You have to tip in advance at your time of purchase, so I left a 25% tip. I was still in a decent mood. They forgot my order. So as I see all other orders completed over 10 minutes, both women disappear to clean or talk to people at the bar. I had to come back up and then she asked if I was still waitjng on my food. I said no, 2 coffees. Then she started my order. One girl apologized to the other for the mistake, and the second girl told her it wasn't a big deal. Definitely not worth a 25% tip for that. Finally on our elevator ride back up to get our stuff and leave, it goes out and won't respond. What started out as a great experience, ended with us saying it's not worth our time or money to go back. Good luck next traveler. I hope that you have a better experience.
