Just ok
Pros:

Good location

Cons:

Remain the room we’re dated, somethings were broken or wobbly, nothing stands out as being great. Rather average for the price point and Hilton brand.

I was very pleased with our stay!!!
Pros:

The room was much bigger than expected. Very clean!!! The staff was very nice. When I had to change the length of our stay, the staff was VERY helpful in making the changes.

Cons:

The body wash was empty but my husband used the shampoo...I had brought my own. I loved the bed but my husband felt it wasn't very comfortable. However, he has back issues.
