They charge for everything and its a pretty hefty price. 2 small cups of wine cost me 32 dollars. The price for me to park my car was 42 dollars for the night. Good location. The best thing was having an awesome retro like Denneys only feet from the parking lot.

Location was close to venue and reviews were accurate. This is a well maintained facility, staff were great. If you stay best check-in early, parking is limited. One of the quietest places I've stayed. Would definitely stay there again.

This is an older hotel but has had updates. Our room was nice, clean and bed was amazingly comfy. Nice add was the in room safe. The only complaints I have was the smell in the lobby and elevators. What ever it is they are using was very strong and hard to breathe. Our room didn’t have that smell. Also they charge you $39 to park which I thought was totally unnecessary when there is plenty of room to park on their property. This was not valet and not a parking garage.

I loved everything about this hotel: clean, friendly, great location for Moody Center concerts, advise pedicab for transport, good walking distance during the daytime-not advised for those with any physical impairment, restaurant on property, bar and restaurant inside hotel; my only EXCEPTION was daily charge for hotel parking WHICH is the normal for most of the area hotels. I highly recommend this hotel. We will definitely book there again.

The hotel was very clean, nice and comfortable. The only issue I had was paying $32 per night for parking. Parking should be free. For a company like the Hilton to be making millions of dollars off guest for parking is absolutely insane.
