For a Hilton I was surprised in the condition. Old rugs, and running toilets. Just did not smell fresh and clean. We did eat at the only restaurant inside the facility .The food and service was very good. We appreciated the front end team on reassigning us to an adequate substitute to our original room. For the location , not a very safe area to walk ,especially in the evening. Most stores looked like they have been closed for sometime. This hotel is a place to go if you were driving through and needed to spend a night. Nothing was that horrible just basic and needs a good update. Staff was caring and wanted to do the best possible.

It was bad timing because the water was out. We had an issue with valet. But I would not consider this a 4-star hotel.

Excellent visit overall. The hotel was full and only had 2 elevators working, so it was always a wait for the elevator. Bed and shower were awesome! Walkable to Altria Theatre and downtown restaurants. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

No coffee!!

Dirty towels, parking was a ripoff, and no coffee in the room. We had to ask for the trash instant coffee that was supposed to be in the room, and they never delivered it. Had to go to front desk to get it and then it was disgusting. No lobby coffee except for the ripoff cafe. Im a Hilton honors member, love all hilton properties, but this one was not up to par. Hated just about everything about this hotel. Should have paid the extra few bucks for the jefferson down the street.

The water was out my entire stay, inconvenient but not the hotels fault as a main water line busted. Otherwise the hotel was nice, carpets had some stains and elevators only one would work the area not much around and valet is 37 dollars a night that isn’t really in any of the details before staying

Staff is great, rooms fine, there’s just no water to shower so that sucks. Maybe they’ll give us a discount or a future stay coupon or something :)

Wonderful hotel convenient to everything. Nice staff and good restaurant/bar. Only issue was the non working elevator which led to very long waits for the one working elevator.
