Everything was an extra, even the fitness center. There was only 1 trash can in the room. The cleaning service didn't make the bed, I had to leave a tip to get coffee refills. There was no shower curtain. I expect better from a Hilton

In my non-smoking room I could smell marijuana coming from the bathroom all night, my kids said it was really bad, complaining to the staff was no help. Also after I made a note to use the sofa bed, it was not made up when I got to the room. Went to the front desk to ask and was told the person who could make the sofa bed was not there and didn't know when it would be made up for us at 7pm. After a while I went to the front desk a second time and a female staff member came over and I asked again about my kids needing the sofa bed and when it would be made up, the female staff member was very nice and immediately contacted the intercom to make the sofa bed for us.

We checked into the hotel and was given a room. When we went the the room it had not been cleaned. I actually thought maybe someone was still in the room. I went back down to the desk and explained the situation and was given a second room. We needed to get to our venue so we did not get to check the room. Returned hours later and went to the new room... the bed was not made. Had to return to the front desk again. This time it is after 10 pm. We were given another room on another floor. There was no apology or offer of compensation for the situation from either staff member at the front desk. It was almost like it should be expected that rooms are not ready for guests. Truly disappointed! Hotels are not cheap. I expected more from this hotel.

Staff were so nice and helpful. It was quiet and peaceful there. Shower was poorly designed as you had to step in to turn on the water so you got blasted by cold water. Bathroom door started squealing but we had just gone to bed so didn't let anyone know. Dining for dinner had a limited menu but our food was good. Breakfast buffet was weak in terms of variety, quality, and the food was not hot.

For the price of this hotel, we expected it to be much better. The customer service was terrible. Rude and dismissive. The parking situation is very bad. Construction is what it is but there were lots of transient people hanging our smoking in the parking structure in the middle of the night and it was scary with our small child. The hotel was not clean. The elevator was filthy. The room was also not clean and did not have basic amenities like soap in the shower. Overall, bad experience and we will not be staying here again.
