The location is close to the wharf and the mall. Had a 2 bedroom suite. The tvs did not work in either room. The pool was broke. The room could have been cleaner. The bar and the lobby area are very nice and clean. Parking at the hotel was 60 dollars a day.

We stayed here as a family of four and enjoyed the property. It was walkable distance to the museums and also to the wharf. The room was spacious and we appreciated having the 2 king beds. The pool area was also very nice. The only negative was the room AC didn’t work well but the issue was resolved. It was the perfect size room and a great location for our stay.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities

Long, confusing hallway to room. No signs near the room to tell me which way the elevator was, so I kept going the wrong way. Security is posted up in the lobby, which is uncomfortable and weird. My hotel room was drab, lifeless, and unwelcoming. No decorations on the wall, nothing colorful. Really sad room. The flooring in the room was coming apart, stains on top of the bedding (thankfully there were two beds in the room!), room fridge smelled like old pasta and it was hard to tell if the fridge was on or off since there were buttons inside of it to press (which was very odd) Just a very odd experience overall and I would not stay here again.

The amenities were exceptional. From the surrounding environment to the well kept facilities throughout were splendid. The only flaw that struck me as distasteful was a young lady at the front desk who had quite a nasty and condescending personality. She represented your property and the Hilton brand poorly. That unfortunate experience was unfortunate and resulted in my lower review.

I was there with my sister & the room we had (pool view, 2 kings) was spacious and comfortable. The beds were comfortable and the bathroom was a good size. I also appreciated the linens. The staff was wonderful and it was very convenient to the metro station.
