The hotel itself was nice but heavily worn. Very little interaction with staff but any were positive. The area in is located is terrible! The hotel charges an exorbitant amount per calendar day to park your car so guests park themselves and fear for their lives going to and from their cars. The area has a lot of homeless and void of any other visitors/residents. We didn’t search well before booking and will not return to that area because of this. We had food delivered and did not venture out not knowing the area.

For a 4 star Hilton, it was not great. Bed sucked, woke up with bad back pain and the shower would barely drain. I didnt get a suite but it didnt have a small fridge nor a microwave.

This is the second rime we've stayed and we loved it the first time so we rebooked. Overall one of the best we've stayed at, from the room, to the staff. This is truly what the hospitality industry should be.

We got in quickly. We were within walking distance from the Hobby Center for the PA. The room was very nice, very comfortable, and quiet. The bartender was very nice, and we enjoyed visiting with her.

Really like the staff. Very welcoming and helpful. LOVED our room. We had a Jr Suite with 2 bathrooms. Enjoyed our stay. The only issue was the hallway leading to our room smelled like animal urine. It was really strong and unpleasant. Only reason we didnt give it 5 stars. Everything else wqs good.

Do your homework before booking; not as advertised
Room was very small for the price. Clean but rather cramped for two people. Front desk personnel were polite and helpful. The Pearl restaurant is nothing but an average hotel bar at best. Understaffed and unable to keep up with orders. No seafood as advertised about The Pearl restaurant on the website. Simply bar food (burgers). After receiving menus, bartender never came back to the table. We finally walked out. Fortunately there are some good restaurants within walking distance. The so called free breakfast in the Pearl breakfast area was nowhere to be found when we left at 9am Saturday morning. So again we just left. I had what I believe to be realistic expectations for a $300/room in a hotel that advertises a sit down restaurant and free breakfast. I expected a room that was somewhat larger than the cramped one I received. Check with the property prior to booking to make sure you get what they’re advertising.
