The room is clean, but room 285 the middle cushin in the couch needs repair. The sheets were changed, but one of the days it had tears in it. One of the pillow sheets were yellowed. The guys working the door talk to each other more then help with luggage and open doors. The rooms are large The front desk was quick The location is nice The price is medium

$400 @ night and average room with small bed for two people and no cotton swaps in bathroom. Overpriced. After check up we get another bill top of what been charged by Expedia. Usually I stay in Hilton but Expedia offers with VIP, I thought it's worth it. The other properties behind it better value for your money!

The hotel was in a prime location and the check in and check out experience was wonderful. Our room had dirty coffee cups and no conditioner in the shower. The restaurant staff could have tried to be welcoming - but that seemed to ask a lot. Aside from that, everything was very clean and we would return
