Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Hotel is old and room was run down and dark. Couch was dirty and I was uncomfortable just sitting on it. And although it was a sleeper sofa, there were no sheets or blankets (not even an extra blanket in the room) or pillows. When the room was cleaned, they never vacuumed the dirty carpet or took out trash that was clearly marked trash (basura). Dirty towel was left on the floor after they sent housekeeping back to room after 2nd night to vacuum and remote had no batteries. Staff tried to be accommodating but was not especially responsive when I continued to complain about the things they still did not do. They promised me Hilton Honors points but they have not been posted to my account.

The staff was fine, the hotel is terrible. They never gave us additional coffee, the lampshade fell off, the towel rack fell, tp was not replaced, towels, another story. The parking garage elevator hasn’t been inspected since 2021 and sounds like it is going to collapse. Description of parking is completely inaccurate. This is an incredibly tired property and needs a lot of maintenance and updating.
