Property was filthy in the rooms. No room service, convenience store closed down. The renovation to upgrade rooms was poorly done and very cheap. I am not talking about the decor ... I am talking about running out of granite for a small sink backsplash and piecing it together, molding being pieced together like a puzzle on door casement rather than using a complete piece... absolutely ridiculous for a Hilton Convention Center property.

This is one of the cleanest hotel, that I have been in and that is for 48 years that I have traveled world wide. The staff was great, and all the amenities that I needed were there. The area is safe and the area around the hotel are safe to walk or even jog and be truly safe.
