This was the cleanest and best airconditioned room I have ever stayed in. But....there is NO complimentary coffee, no coffee maker in your room, and no parking. Valet is $40 per each day of your stay. No choice to park on your own! And there is no Smart TV. The rooms are very nice but very dark and the bathroom lighting is horrible! We chose this hotel based off Expedia reviews and the Hilton name, but this is not a Hilton style hotel.

The air conditioning did not get cold at night, my husband‘s room stay hot all night through seven days of stay. The drain of the bathroom was not cleaned up. The hair on the floor was not picked up. Besides all that it’s in great location really quiet at night. There stores around the hotel ,really convenient.

We were not told the property is undergoing construction!The restaurant was closed and they only offered free coffee from 5-7am! Ridiculous! Not enough towels, several outlets didn’t work, no water bottles offered in the room. The AC unit kicked on and off very loud during the night. We’ve stayed at other Graduate Hotels and this was a disappointment. Seemed to be short on staffing too. Disappointed in Hilton!!

A complete disappointment

The hotel location is excellent, but that’s about it. Nothing else measured up to the price we paid. The hotel was under renovation, so the lobby, elevator and hallways were all dusty and dirty. The shower stall was badly constructed, and water flooded across the bathroom floor and into the bedroom. Parking was by valet only, which turned into an unexpected and unwelcome cost and inconvenience. (The parking places are right there next to the entrance, so I would have rather gotten directly into the car myself without assistance.) “Breakfast” was a grab and go of overpriced coffee and muffins. We elected to go out and found a nice breakfast place in the neighborhood instead. None of the staff members were particularly cordial or responsive to our disappointment with the condition of the hotel.

Under renovations check prior to booking

This hotel is apparently under renovations and we werent told. So, no lounge and no restaurant!! Also, there is renovations going on in other places in this hotel. The ac was extremely noisy and it sounded like water dripping everytime the ac went off.
