The Hilton needs to do some major updates to this hotel. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone
Pros:

The bartender Cameron was kind and very helpful and attentive.

Cons:

Only one elevator worked to get to our room. We waited for 5 minutes for the doors to open. When the elevator doors opened the cleaning staff along with their baskets went into the elevator and made the guests wait for the next elevator, which took another 5 minutes. The linen on the beds looked old and gray and the pillow cases were wrinkled and did not completely fit the pillow. The breakfast for $9.95 per person was definitely not worth the money. The eggs in the chafing dishes were cold along with the hashbrowns. The toaster did not work and the staff informed me that this has been a problem for a while and wished they would get a regular toaster. So, I had to eat my bagel cold. This hotel needs some improvement.

The hotel was great—just be prepared for the extra parking fee and the surrounding area
Pros:

The hotel itself was very nice—clean, comfortable, and well-maintained- and the staff was friendly. We knew it was on the expensive side when we booked, so the room rate wasn't a surprise. However, the surrounding area didn't feel particularly safe, which wasn't what I expected for the price. I was also disappointed that parking was an additional charge. Overall, we had a comfortable stay, but I think those are good things for future guests to know.

Garden Restaurant
Pros:

This was my second time staying at this hotel and giving the Garden Restaurant a chance. The first time I visited was back in end of October, when I was told by the bartender that the hotel was "going through a shift in management." I gave them the benefit of the doubt and decided to try again during this stay. Different bartender, same terrible service and food. The restaurant was a mess. Dirty dishes were left sitting on tables throughout the dining room, drinks took over 20 minutes to arrive, and the overall service was completely unacceptable. After waiting and becoming increasingly frustrated, I asked to speak with a manager. Instead of a restaurant manager, I was sent the front desk manager, who clearly had no experience, or understanding of how to address restaurant-related concerns. When I asked for the actual restaurant manager, I was told she leaves at 5:00 PM. How does it make any sense for a restaurant manager to be gone before dinner even starts? There appeared to be absolutely no management presence. Breakfast wasn't any better. Honestly, you're better off DoorDashing food or walking to the next hotel down the road for breakfast. The female server was incredibly rude and seemed bothered that guests were there. I again asked for a manager and was then told they don't get in till around 9 .... so if the manager isn't there for dinner and isn't there for the majority of breakfast then whats the point? The food arrived cold. To make matters worse, I called and left two voicemails for the restaurant manager and have yet to receive a call back. The hotel itself is nice. The lobby is beautiful, and I enjoyed the view. However, do yourself a favor and skip the Garden Restaurant altogether. There are plenty of restaurants within walking distance that would provide a far better dining experience. I don't typically leave negative reviews, I had to make an account just to write this but the lack of management, poor service, dirty dining room, cold food, rude staff, and complete failure to follow up with a guest complaint left me with no choice.
