Pretty run down for a Hilton property.
Given the location and the Hilton name I definitely expected better. 1st room was naususly overwhelming with cleaners/ Marijuana smoke. As well as a relative humidity of 80% in the room. Staff tried to minimize my complaint of the smell to keep us in the room. And after insisting on another room or refund to go elsewhere... The 2nd room was better but the whole hotel smells of musty old carpet. Air intakes and ruturns have not been cleaned in who knows how long.So, if you have allergies stay somewhere else of be prepared to suffer.

When we checked in the front desk was rude and very unhelpful. We didnt know our room key would let us out of the parking lot and ended up paying twice for oarking. Something we should have been told at check in, but we were a pure bother to the lady when we checked in.

Only one of the staff was nice. The lady that checked us in was clueless and didn’t seem like she wanted to be there. I booked 2 exact same rooms to get 2 queens and she gave us 1 room with only 1 bed. I had to go back downstairs to get the rooms switched to the one I booked. When I asked to switch to the correct rooms, she looked annoyed and made me feel like I was an inconvenience to her. Also never offered us water or cookies. When we ask, they all look annoyed that we’re asking. Housekeeping didn’t refill the coffee and other stuff. Hair dryer in the room was broken. Just a terrible experience. It was such a let down because the last time we stayed at this hotel, the experience was great but now we’re not coming back because the experience was just terrible.
