You guys really need to add the Smashburger and Quesadilla back upstairs. They are your best food items and you can only get them downstairs until 2pm. Mike and the front desk staff are amazing as are the managers upstairs (David) and the bartenders. The location is amazing and so is the view from the Sky bar (best view in Tucson from the flatland). Treadmills were both broken and dangerous to run on the first day but when I mentioned to a staff member they were fixed by day 2 where the belts weren't slipping. Another thing I noticed is things are starting to fall apart a bit as I had my door handle broken and again they did come fix it. The staff, the view, and location is why we keep coming back as we have been staying here since they've opened as we are now on our second kid at U of A (one already graduated) but for the prices they charge on the weekends Hilton really needs to put some money into upkeep and listen to their best customers more. We spend way less time spending money upstairs now due to the menu changes and food options.
