Great stay
Pros:

Location was great. I wish I remembered her name but the receptionist was wonderful. Had a bit of an issue with my room not opening but she was empathetic and remembered me all weekend which was nice. Room was spacious and clean.

Cons:

Parking is a bit overpriced.

Pros:

Location

Cons:

Only 1 elevator worked which led to a line of approximately 15 people waiting. The employees saw the line of people waiting for the one elevator and did nothing until myself and another guest said something. At that point an employee took people to a service elevator.

Not what I expected , I will not stay at a Hilton hotel again. I will stick with Marriott Bonvoy
Pros:

The staff were friendly.

Cons:

The room was outdated and had an old smell. The AC was loud. The door was hard to open. When I received my bill, I was charged an additional $127 in taxes and fees of which a $35 dollars destination fee?

Okay ophold - havde forventet bedre kvalitet.
Pros:

Morgenmaden i hverdagen var fantastisk, da det ikke var en buffet men man kunne vælge udfra et lækkert menu kort.
Der var buffet i weekenden.
Beliggenheden er fantastisk tæt på restauranter og riwer walk.

Cons:

Badeværelserne er med bruser i et badekar, og bruseren hænger for lavt.
Aircon boblede højlydt om natten og jeg fik nogle beskidt håndklæder.
Morgenmaden kunne være lidt stressende, da restauranten var underbemandet hele ugen og tjenerne nærmest løb rundt.
