Overall staff and property were nice. A lot of homeless population with needles on ground, which made it hard having children with us. Hotel had good security especially with vehicles. Nothing wrong with Hotel, mostly location of it

Stayed here with our family of four (2 young boys). We enjoyed the park and playground right across the street and the easy and convenient dinning available at the Marina. Breakfast ok and it did the job.

The location is good and convenient. The service was OK. The elevators need an update. It is noisy because of the close trains. The breakfast needs more fruits and vegetables.

The incessant noise from train crossings were annoying, but not a fault of the hotel. The water dispenser should be placed closer to the food during breakfast.

The hotel was the perfect place to stay while visiting the Midway! The staff were very helpful — especially Vanessa at the front desk! The elevators were not an issue nor were the city sounds. I would stay here again!

Whist the hotel was clean and tidy the elevators were terrible and the dining facilities inadequate. Eating from paper plates and plastic cutlery is terrible for the environment and a horrible experience at best. The railway line next to the hotel was very noisy with trains being shunted through the night. Whilst we were set back from the railway yards it was still very noisey as was the in room air conditioner. This is not the usual experience expected from a Hilton Hotel property.

Stayed here with my family. Loved the fact that it's walkable distance to many restaurants , every night we would have a delicious dinner and then walk it off on the way back to our hotel. Our kids also liked the fact that there was a 24 hr Jack in the Box a block away. The hotel is also in front of a park with a great jungle gym for little ones. We were also walkable distance to the Water and checked out some of the sailing ships . The pool was clean and empty and also warm. The kids enjoyed night swims. Last but not least they do serve breakfast with a few options for everyone. Overall it was a good stay and would definitely stay again in the future.
