The staff at this hotel make you feel like a million bucks.
Pros:

The staff was delightful. The room was very quiet. Amenities were great.

Cons:

The neighborhood is nice but the street the hotel is on feels a little bit neglected. I never felt unsafe, just a bit like I was on the edge of the nice part of town.

I wish the rooftop was open for everyone. Would have loved to have seen the view from up high.

If I’m ever in town, there is no doubt about where I’m staying. There are no other options for me. Seldom will you get a
Pros:

I am absolutely in love with this Hilton Garden Inn property. The close proximity to everything made getting around so convenient, the aesthetics were amazing, and the staff were simply lovely! And can we talk about the food, comfortable beds, and serene atmosphere? 10/10 HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Cons:

I wish there was a parking garage or lot. However, their valet service is TOP TIER!

Gutes Hotel für einen Kurztrip
Pros:

Das Zimmer war schön groß und sauber. An der Bar gab es gute Drinks, außerdem eine schöne Dachterasse mit einer tollen Aussicht auf die Stadt!

Cons:

Die Lage war nicht ganz ideal für uns, aber wir konnten trotzdem alles fußläufig erreichen (obwohl das bei dieser Hitze sehr anstrengend war)- es waren ca 20 Minuten zum Capitol. Auch die Dame beim Einchecken ließ etwas an Freude an ihrer Arbeit vermissen.

I would not stay here again unless it was the cheapest option available.
Pros:

Rooftop was nice. Valet service was great.

Cons:

Room was dirty. There was urine all over the base of the toilet and hair on the shower curtain. Valet cost is ridiculous.
