Was surprised this was a Hilton

Cleanliness was good except for plenty of mold and mildew on the bottom edges of the shower. Kleenex on bathroom counter was wet from bar soap water - little space. Staff was very friendly/enjoyable. Asked for extra pillow/blanket but never received (no spares in closet). TV was difficult to navigate (guides split into 5 channels, unable to navigate to channel via guides). In room Wi-Fi was too slow to use, one person couldn't even get to sign on page. Cell data service waffled between working and not for web pages (using T-MOBILE 5g and Verizon wouldn't get past 4g). Bed was stiff/uncomfortable/felt springs. Breakfast buffet was a mix of good and sad - eggs only edible 1 of 3 days, brown bananas, and overpriced ($15 for standard continental food). Breakfast staff was great/friendly/helpful with options.

Lacks their own parking. You have to park in the parking garage next door. Returned from a event late in the evening and had to park up on the 5th level of the parking garage. The heat/cooling was very inconsistent in some rooms. My room fine but my daughters room was HOT when got there, cooled down and then overnight became HOT again.

In my non-smoking room I could smell marijuana coming from the bathroom all night, my kids said it was really bad, complaining to the staff was no help. Also after I made a note to use the sofa bed, it was not made up when I got to the room. Went to the front desk to ask and was told the person who could make the sofa bed was not there and didn't know when it would be made up for us at 7pm. After a while I went to the front desk a second time and a female staff member came over and I asked again about my kids needing the sofa bed and when it would be made up, the female staff member was very nice and immediately contacted the intercom to make the sofa bed for us.
