Never again
Pros:

Clean and close to the train station

Cons:

They didn’t clean the room and didn’t provide clean towels. They said that they clean the room if I stayed more than two days, and I think that’s not a good thing for me to recommend you.

Do not recommend
Cons:

Rude front desk lady and man they just looked at me when I walked in to check In no hello welcome in. Nothing horrible service, she didn’t offer breakfast time or hours of bar and spa I had to ask her
pillows are flat shower is good hot and pressure is good bathroom tiny rust dirt on walls In bathroom and around frame of door mold and rust windows ate filthy can’t see the view that you pay for! Breakfast was standard nothing fresh made all pre made food besides the waffles you make your self to parking $30 bucks
And this was my anniversary trip with my boyfriend so for it to be basic service nothing over the top is ridiculous especially when I’m a Hilton honors member late check out they couldn’t give an hour. They wanted to give like 15 minutes. It was just a lot of unprofessionalism going on the lady in the kitchen was by far the most professional and courteous the person that serve served breakfast and she did it all by herself no help.

I really felt fleeced
Pros:

Location to trader Vic. The view from the second room.

Cons:

The whole vibe here was off. From the Jerry rigged clothesline rope cordoning off of the parking lot to obtain fees to the $26 breakfast it was all just a little off. Be aware even guests have to pay $3.50 an hour to park. Handicap plates does not give exception, That's unusual in the hospitality industry.
My first room (paying for a view because that's extra) consisted of overlooking the window washers and paint crew. The smell of chemicals possibly rug glue was overwhelming. Upon returning to the desk stating to the manager asking for a room with a view must have been a trick question. After a few minutes of eye rolling our room was transferred. I was satisfied with the second room assignment It was just a drag to go through this at a Hilton. This hotel just us not meet Hilton standards on any level.I'll insert eye roll here.
It all appears okay but on a closer look most of the effort put into this location it's just window dressing.
Bathroom sink etc on first glance appeared okay on closer examination It could have used a good scrubbing.
There are two more Hyatt right down the road that put in due diligence and effort offering a better value and location as well
