"Our room was clean and updated. Staff was pleasant. Please note that, depending on the season, there are no blankets on the beds (sadly, I was told, due to theft!) but they are available upon request, so ask for one at check-in so you’re not in your jammies, or even less, by the time you realize there’s no blanket on the bed, just a bottom sheet, top sheet, and light bed cover. I appreciated the outlet with standard plugs, and four USB plugs including one USB-C that’s next to the desk in the room. The bed was very comfy. The common areas could use a touchup. I appreciated the many live plants—real live growing plants!—in the lobby."

"We had one issue and the staff fixed it immediately for us by moving us to another room. The staff was great from check in, our interaction with the manager, the staff responsible for the good food at breakfast, and the staff member who checked us out. They were all great. The hotel itself was very nice. We would definitely stay here again if we were in the area."

"I about panicked when, while I was checking in, the man behind the desk said, "I don't find a reservation for you." Then he said, "Oh, I am on the wrong page." (Whew!) When I got to my room on the 6th floor, my key didn't work, so I had to carry my luggage back down to the desk to had new key cards made. When i got into the room, I discovered that one of the two lights on the bedroom wall was not working; I reported it the next morning and it was repaired while I was out that day. To be candid, I expect better from the Hilton brand. The breakfasts in the morning, however, were quite tasty and more than filling!"
