Good place, super easy check in and friendly staff. Room was not as clean as I expected from a Hilton, probably due to the age of the hotel. There were no water bottles in the room, which I thought a basic amenity.

Never been to a hotel that doesn’t offer free coffee in the lobby and charges you for water at the front desk- only gives 2 bottles with your room. It was 100 degrees outside by the way. Staff at the restaurant/bar were much nicer than those at the front desk.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This property is very dated. The rooms have a horrible smell likely secondary to the old carpet. The sink was clogged. The shower and toilet were dirty. The bed was extremely uncomfortable as were the pillows. Tv does not have Netflix connectivity. You have to specifically ask to have your room cleaned. I asked for service at 8am and was told that they will only replace my towels and soap. Beds will not be made and the room will not be cleaned. The breakfast was cold and took over 1 hour to deliver. The order was completely wrong. Eggs Benedict came with no eggs and no sauce. Everything was cold. Very strange. I had a horrible experience and will nene stay at this property again.
