We loved our stay here. The check in process was smooth and they took the time to explain to us everything that we needed to know. Parking is paid but right under ground. Rooms were nice and well equipped for a downtown hotel. Beds were nice and wifi actually worked as we needed to work from there. Will recommend and definitely will visit again!

It’s an old property. Though they have done well to give it a decent apparently, the reality is the “bones” of the place is old. That said, check in staff were so nice and made it a smooth process despite having new *clunky* Hilton systems. Parking garage tight for SUVs. Had a women (assume she was drunk) try to enter our room. Not the hotels fault but still unclear if she actually opened our door or not so that was a bit troublesome. Beds were comfortable. Great location. It’s ok to stay here but the price point is way too high for how old it is.
