Great central location downtown. The staff wete all great. However, the ladies who assisted during breakfast were above and beyond. I work in an industry where service and attitude show everything about an organization. The ladies who greeted us at breakfast were friendly, caring and service oriented. They asked my boys what our plans were for the day and how we slept. They assisted us and others with everything to give us a great start to our day. We will definately stay here in the future and hope that Hilton uses these ladies to teach others about customer service around the region!

We arrived at noon and attempted to check in early. We were told our room wasn't ready but we would be put on the early list for a 1:30 check in. We arrived back at 3:45 and were told our room wasn't ready, along with many other guests. We did not get into our room until 4:15 and then were charged a higher rate than what was on the itinerary we booked with you. I will take that up at another time.

It was a cold night (first frost of year). The room was 65 degrees upon entering and thermostat didn't change (perhaps the heat hadn't been turned on yet). Hotel employee came to check the room temperature and said it would warm up.....it never did.
