We paid $200 for one night. The hallway smelt musty to room. Valet was $35. We went to the restaurant on site and there was a man in there who clearly was having some kind of mental or drug episode because he was cursing and talking to hisself. I am so disappointed in this Hilton stay, but I assume I won’t get any kind of refund for feeling unsafe because you did not need a key to enter from any door or to get to any level in the hotel. The bathroom was dated back to 1992 with zero water pressure and barely enough power to get the waste down the toilet. Save your money and go somewhere else. Not to mention the 65 inch tv was 15 feet away from the Murphy bed……..made it 35 years without sleeping on a Murphy bed but no more.

Very nice, older hotel in very good shape. Location was great for walking main areas of the city. As with many upscale hotels, it did not provide coffee in the room, or a microwave. Had a very nice lobby and lounge area and also a patio area with big screen TV and bar.

Check in was weird. Staff asking me about the bank I use (popular chain) and why I didn’t know they don’t have a branch in my state. Overcharge for parking when they don’t own the garage and you can use the garage app to get a better price. Rooms are old and very noisy - hear the person in the next room coughing and tv all night. Charges for water bottles when other Hiltons provide for free.
