Pros:

The property was clean and located great

Cons:

I have stayed here numerous times and what I liked about it was they had a bar and restaurant. It was closed and the website didn’t inform me of this or I wouldn’t have changed my route home to stay there

NEVER AGAIN!!!!
Pros:

Check in was horrible! I paid in full for my stay a month prior to my stay. The hotel wanted me to cancel with the 3rs party vendor (Hotel.com) and pay them directly because their name was changing…not my problem! After an hour we finally get a room and I believe they gave me a room that should have not been available to any guest. IT SMELLED HORRIBLE! There was stains on the top of the bedspread, questionable spots on the sofa, the tub was dirty, the door to the room did not close all the way unless you slammed it closed and the kicker…the toilet was broken…if we used the bathroom, we had to open the back of the toilet to flush it…replace the darn toilet or fix it!! 😡 Take this hotel off yall list because it’s trash!!!!!

Pros:

This hotel ruins the Hilton reputation. It’s was dingy & dirty. Stained & soiled couch in my room, chipped and worn furniture, dirty walls with stains down them, bathtub had a painted bottom with chipping paint. It was gross & felt more like a Motel 6. Will never ever stay here again.

I'll think twice before I book Hilton
Pros:

The check in went well, Heather was super friendly. The front lobby was beautiful and well kept. But don't let that fool you!
The bed was comfortable. That's the only good thing about the room. There were several things inside the room that needs attention. The carpet was so dirty I decided to keep my shoes on until bedtime. The ceiling in the shower is cracked and crumbling and the bathroom wall had what looked like lotion, conditioner or something else? The coffee pod had a black liquid where the water goes. Which made it not useable at all.

Nice, but pool was closed without indication
Pros:

Traveled to attend my graduation at Olivet.

Hotel was nice, good location, comfortable rooms.

However, I didnt like the fact that breakfast wasn't included, however, I knew that when I booked.

What I didnt know was the pool was down and had been down for over a year...no indication at all...which made entertaining several kids a challenge.

If you want a pool...call the hotel before booking, so no unfortunate news when you arrive

Pros:

This wasn’t very nice place to stay. We stayed there last year also around the same time by the pool supposedly something was going on with the filter and was closed and if I’m not mistaken last year at this time was closed off so they really need to get fixed.

Disappointing
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

Staff was unfriendly. We felt like we were bums off the street. None of the staff tried to be welcoming in any way. The waitress in the morning did not try to explain anything. The food was not fresh or warm. My husband's ordered eggs were very crusty even though he asked for them over easy.

Pros:

Super disappointed it wasn't disclosed in advance the indoor pool was to be closed for construction. Our children were really looking forward to it and we would have booked elsewhere had we known. When checking for bed bugs (we do this at every hotel), there was a significant amount of unexpected debris/trash between the mattress and bed board. They should be sure to clean that.

Pros:

A/C didn’t work. They told me it takes awhile to get going. After the first night it never made it below 75. Moved me to another room and had the exact same problem. Another employee told me this has been an ongoing problem.

Additionally pool was closed and only one elevator worked.

Staff was very friendly and made the best of the situation.
