#NotWorthIt# Check in available at 3PM. I arrived at 4PM and my reserved room was not available for 45 minutes. Room was very good, but lobby is under construction and there's no complimentary parking. We had a 7AM event to attend but breakfast was not available until 7AM.

Close to dining and rail station. I would have given it a better score but I was charged $5.00 for an extra bottle of water (the bottles in the room were complimentary...you would think asking for an extra one at the lobby desk for Hilton Honors members would have also been free of charge or a NOMINAL charge at best).
