The staff was what made this place. If you are looking for a newly refurbished, perfect hotel - this isn’t it but it was very clean. They have a wonderful breakfast every morning - you can order your own omelette- and a happy hour every evening - two free drink tickets each night. But the best part by far is the staff. Helpful, efficient, friendly. I cannot say enough about them. Just incredible people working their tails off - and with a smile. Loved our stay here. Oh and, it used to be the Citadel and they have kept that vibe alive.

Stay there for a girls trip and it was just perfect. The building itself is so gorgeous in historic next to a beautiful park with a lot of open grass area where locals spend some time and sun bathe. The hotel offers one breakfast daily snack, snacks, and happy hour which is amazing. The staff were always friendly and attentive. Had a wonderful experience.

REBECCA

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Best to set your expectations from the start. Just because the name HILTON is attached to this property, it does not mean that it meets HILTON standards. It is a very old property that once was a Citadel used for military dorms. There is nothing upscale about this property. Housekeeping does come daily to make beds and change out towels which was nice. The complimentary breakfast was very good. There is always a concierge on site who can help, but be warned, he will try to sign you up for Hilton rewards, etc. The location was great, and we could walk everywhere. There is limited street parking so if you rented a car, Valet is $50/day.

You have to be kidding we stayed at the original Citadel. That being said the place really needs sprucing up. Peeling paint and stained carpets everywhere. Awesome location. Central to everything. Bed was one of the better ones we've slept on.

The property is definitely in need of some refurbishing. The staff is amazing and the amenities are as good as other hotels. The rooms are very old and and there is too much carpet everywhere. Not a bad spot but not great
