We had to switch rooms once since the bathroom in 219 didn’t close. When we did switch there was hairballs in the shower floor. We were locked out late at night from going to the parking had to go to front office to get new keys. When we finally parked and went to our new room the keys again didn’t work. This was late at night too. Had to go back to front and request new keys. The girl from earlier, Sofia hadn’t registered that she switched the room and manually update it on the computer. I’m currently pregnant so this was just bad.

Couldn't believe I had to pay $27 for parking. Insane. Also, 2 floors were under construction and the noise definitely started before 9 am.

We liked the clean, spacious room. It was cool and comfortable.
Although it was cool, I would have liked it a bit cooler. Couldn't adjust the temperature. The shower had good water pressure, but the tub's finish looked liked it was peeling and made the bathtub look unclean. Could've started with a bit more towels.
Not too crazy about having to pay for breakfast and the parking. One or the other would've been fine to pay, but both was a bit much. Ended up elevating the cost to our stay and making it not cost effective.

Close to freeway
I really was expecting much more than the service in this hotel.
First, hotel did meet expectations, this was my very first time I had to pay for parking lot!!! What kind of hotel is this?
Plus parking did not meet requirements to park a big truck like mine; couldn't go trough the parking lot
I had to go back to the lobby and then they let me park at the front of the hotel.

$25 buffet unappealing.
Bathroom - toilet, tub slow to empty. Leak on floor. Didn’t empty trash daily. Had to request.
Elevator to 2nd floor not working one night. So, they had sign to use the “left elevator” which was stuck on the 7th floor.
Lot of surly staff (in training?) but not pleasant.
5.0 / 10.0
location and overall nice property
hot water did not work on last day of stay. staff at the front desk didn’t seem too concerned about it. obviously no water is an inconvenience but it was really the staff’s indifference about it that was so off putting.

it was close to my brothers wedding venue.
I booked two rooms for my brothers wedding. Before we arrived, I called and asked if we could be put on the same floor as my brothers wedding party. He was on floor 7. They assured us that could be done. I believe the person I spoke to misunderstood because I was put on the floor with the swing dancers. Apparently, there was a big convention that weekend. They were extremely loud and partying until 6 am on Saturday and Sunday night. There were tons of them, all partying throughout the hotel. Two off leash dogs almost bit my daughter in the lobby as we were walking up to our room the first night. The swing dancers were inappropriate with her and she is only 15. One invited her up to their room for drinks. We were exhausted because of how loud the dancers were, and on top of that security knocked on my door twice when we were trying to sleep because our neighbors were so loud. It was pure chaos and the staff seemed overwhelmed. we never had our rooms refreshed from housekeeping probably because of all messes the swing dancing parties made in their rooms. The front desk lost my brothers sign up sheet for the shuttle to his wedding and they finally agreed to calling us a complimentary Lyft. That was stressful but they did end up remedying that situation at least. I did noticed papers all over the front desk and organization was not a factor, but I can attribute that to the swing dancing convention. The staff at the front seemed very overwhelmed and I couldn’t blame them. I expect more of Hilton Hotels. In hindsight, I would
have chosen another hotel.
