I won’t go back. The food was terrible. The front desk was often unstaffed.
Pros:

The location was great

Cons:

The pool was minuscule— not even swimmable and looked unclean.
There were no towels.

Old, tired and parking issue
Pros:

Arriving late, in the dark alone, the parking is two blocks away so you have to haul your luggage to the hotel as you’re forced to park for $25 overnight in the city downtown parking deck. Wife felt uncomfortable unloading and dragging her bags to the hotel in the dark. No upgrade as a gold Hilton honors member. I’d actually score it poor, but the bed was comfortable. Breakfast was probably the saddest selection ever; only sugary cereals, stale white bread, really they could do so much better. We’ve been looking for a nice place to stay to break our regular journey from Sarasota to Atlanta, but this certainly is not going to be it.
