Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The only thing good was the parking. The staff knew nothing! I had to ask for everything! I came back to an unmade room. I was taking a shower, and the drain was clogged, I lifted the shower drain cover and pulled out a glob of hair that completely stopped up the drain. I had to ask for coffee pods for the Keurig coffee machine in the room. I checked in and the guy behind the counter said I can use cash when I check out, noy true! The arrogant old lady at the desk asked me my room number and without saying anything, said OK you`re checked out. I told her I was using cash, and she said we are cashless. There`s nothing about being cashless. The breakfast was no longer an included buffet. I was led to believe it was! My entire two nights were horrible! There was a time when the name Hilton stood for higher standards than the rest, not anymore. I will never book with Hilton again.
