Nice
Pros:

The location is great. Being on the Riverwalk and near the friendship fountain was awesome. Having Ruth Chris within the hotel is very convenient.

Cons:

If I had any issue it was the fact that it's a cashless hotel. They expect you to only use a credit card for all your purchases or put your purchases on your room. I personally find that offensive. I prefer paying cash for my purchases while at the hotel. Also, I don't think it's right that a hotel charge you for parking. If you self-parked you shouldn't be charged a fee.

Disgrace to the Hilton brand
Pros:

Hands down the worst Hilton hotel I have ever stayed in. Everything is worn out, stained, dirty, rusted, you name it . The desk staff stated after we asked to change rooms that “yes are rooms are tired”. The bathrooms are rusty and no matter what you would do to clean them it would not matter. The furniture is worn out, the mattress feels like it was run over by a truck. The carpet looks like it is the same carpet from the 1970,s. If work did not make me stay here I would have left immediately. Avoid this hotel at all cost.
