Basic
Parking is expensive and valet takes a while to get your car. We had to pay for bottled water and most Hiltons provide them for free. Rooms were okay, very dated, not enough lighting in the bathroom.

Well almost perfect
Small and convenient but the maid and Handy man need to check this room. I advised the front desk at check out. The art bar isn't open on Sunday but they charge a fee that can only be used there.

Relaxing night away!
My husband and I took a night to go to the city and relax after Christmas. It was nice, cozy and quiet! We had dinner right inside the hotel at Ruth's Chris which i highly recommend. The only issue we had was the valet parking when checking out. There was a really long line of people waiting for their cars and only one person getting them for the guests.
