The air conditioning in the room was non-existent, as the room was set below 70 degrees and never came close, despite the machine running all night and sounding like a diesel engine starting each time it started back up. The shower also was disappointing as the water pressure was not enough for the oversized, non-adjustable shower head.

This was the cleanest and best airconditioned room I have ever stayed in. But....there is NO complimentary coffee, no coffee maker in your room, and no parking. Valet is $40 per each day of your stay. No choice to park on your own! And there is no Smart TV. The rooms are very nice but very dark and the bathroom lighting is horrible! We chose this hotel based off Expedia reviews and the Hilton name, but this is not a Hilton style hotel.
