Second edit, the manager gave us a discount because of the trouble. Thanks!
Edit: Chiquita at the front desk was very pleasant and she's fixed the situation. She's an asset to this place.

It's been an hour since I called the front desk and complained about our room air unit making a high pitched humming sound, and you don't pay over 200 dollars for this. Or you shouldn't.

Love this place. I usually come here every week and I keep coming back because of the staff and their bar tenders know what they’re doing - great cocktails. Don’t stay anywhere else for the money - amazing value
They’re always accommodating and make sure I get taken care of. Shout out to Chiquita for always being accommodating and taking care of me!

Hotel itself is fine. But the location is a little dodgey. My main issue is my car was broken in to while it was under control of the valet. Hilton say it’s not their responsibility because it’s a subcontractor… the valet company admitted it was their fault. I wouldn’t feel safe leaving my car with them again, but there is no self parking. I’m a long term hilton member, this hotel is off the list! Terrible experience to feel unsafe while travelling!

We checked into our room and there was a large feces stain on the toilet seat. Housekeeping did clean it for us but then we had to worry what else wasn’t cleaned. The staff seemed extremely disorganized. When we checked out the valet did not have our car ready even though we texted requesting our car 15 minutes prior to checking out. We had to wait at least 15 minutes for the car to arrive. Overall it was a bad experience and we will not be staying at this hotel again.
