    Excellent location, directly across from the arena. The ladies at the front desk were super sweet! Using the elevators is kind of confusing. We could definitely use some directions posted. Loved the pool table in the common area!

    Seems like if this hotel wants to price gouge loyal Hilton customers and charge therm $1,000 per night on a parents weekend then they should make the experience a LOT nicer. No valet so had to park in the additional lot only to find I then had to go back down and put a paper in my car or be towed by 7am, all the elevators reek of weed, no Hilton Honors gift when you check in, sub par breakfast, less than fully clean room. Pay $3 for a soda… Did I mention they charge $1,000 per night? How about over staffing the hotel, welcome basket, mimosas or a nice happy hour to at least dress up the experience. Disappointed in Hilton on this stay.

    Very clean. Convenient to bars and restaurants, as well as the campus. All parking is in the garage with a clearance of 6'8", but they have overflow parking in the garage nextdoor that is 7'6" to accommodate taller vehicles.
