For the cost they need a serious upgrade of the whole building. The cost guest pay is not worth how out dated the hotel is. Staff where very accommodating, especially the Resturant staff. Iv'e traveled over 70 countries and was disappointed as a Hilton Honors member.

Weekend getaway
Check in was easy and we were greeted with some delicious cookies our stay was extremely satisfactory as the workers were very helpful and gave us what we needed with speed and accuracy. The pool area was a big favorite as it was clean and available for us to enjoy even in November. Had trouble connecting to Wi-Fi but other than that it was a really pleasant stay oh and parking was free

Decent stay, great location!
The hotel was easy to find w friendly staff. The bed was comfy, but we noticed there were no screen on any windows/doors. We got a room w a balcony- but couldn’t leave the door open because there wasn’t any screen for it. Things like that & a little extra updating of some door panels & floor boards, would really improve its presentation. That said, it was 1 block from the heart if little Italy/ it was great to walk to dinner & farmers market. Their complimentary cookies were terrific! We would definitely stay there again.
