The location was perfect - very walkable. Staff were all very pleasant and helpful. The rooms were very nice, but the bathroom could use some fixing. The tub had a rust ring, the ceiling was pealing, and the complimentary bath gel, shampoo, and conditioner were either empty or half full.

No parking, which means you have to use valet which is 45 a day! Breakfast was not free, gym and pool areas were nice but no instructions on how to access the gym, or turn on the hot tub jets.

Great location with easy walk to restaurants and shops. Very nice public areas and room was in great shape. Very dog friendly and staff was helpful and nice. Only valet parking, otherwise you park on street. Restaurant and bar only open some days. Inconsistent housekeeping, and only some days. In room cleaning wasn’t good.

Was very convenient as far as walking downtown, as far as parking you really had no option but to Valet at $45 a day..Other parking garages available but not convenient. Staff very friendly but not informative at all with surrounding area(directions, best restaurants ,transportation etc) TV cable horrible. Ice machines didn't work most of the time. In house restaurant very limited. A little disappointed for Hilton
