  Not the worst I have stayed in. The face lift they gave the hotel is nice enough, however, they said the pool was under maintenance but it was non-existent, they filled in the hot tub. The fitness center had Broken equipment and it didn't look like anybody had cleaned anything. The breakfast was absolutely non-existent except for some cereal, four bagels and four muffins Oh and hard boiled eggs that I don't think anybody should eat. It's pretty much a place you stay to sleep and leave.

  There are a lot of mixed reviews on this place. They have recently renovated and for the most part, the face lift looks good. It smells like new construction and feels fresh when you walk in. You see little hints here and there that show the age of the facility, but it looks good overall. Now, the not so good. A place that charges what they charge, should have a decent breakfast. Nope! Snacks at best. Nothing hot. They have the facilities for it, but don't do it. Good thing IHOP is 25 yards away. Second, they do have a fitness center. Also not great. There is a non-functional TV on the wall, a non-functional Pelaton bike, two elypticals that are in working order, but barely and a treadmill that is on it's last leg, too. There is a small free weight rack and a partial universal gym. The workout area was unsanitary. There was empty water bottles, dirty towels and food wrappers all over. Not to mention, no trash can or any way for users to spray down and wipe equipment clean. No cleaner or paper towels. The equipment was sticky and dirty. The pool is under construction or repairs. The store or convenience center by the front desk is also not well stocked or kept up. The drink refrigerator is basically empty and the shelves are practically bare. The TV in the room didn't have cable or anything. We had to use our Netflix account. The folks who run this place want you to sleep here and that's it. Nothing else. Come in, sleep, and get out. We stayed at a discount through a friend, but I would not pay full price to stay here. You can find better for the same or less.

  This is far from a typical Hilton experience. It is obvious this is a refurbished hotel and it has a lot of issues. - We heard pipes all night - Our heating and air unit was insanely and scary loud. We even shut it off because it would run every 20 minutes and constantly wake us up. I have never stayed in a hotel with a system this loud. - You can hear everything above you Also, the breakfast is basically non-existent. A few bagels and cereal boxes. As a loyal Hilton member, this was a horrible experience and I would not stay here again.

  I would avoid this hotel; its just not maintained well. The room bathroom door handle is installed backwards so it locks from the outside (??). Be careful not to lock it on your way in or you'll be stuck in there! Seriously. The lights above the bed don't work. The wall mounted heat/ac unit was unplugged and smelled terrible when plugged in and turned on. I just left it off. The hotel is not clean. The lobby smells strongly of weed late at night. The entire third floor had a weed stench this morning which is really unpleasant. I'll look for alternatives next stay.
