Liked: Cleanliness
The hotel was under construction, which we did not know when choosing the hotel. When it was too late to choose another hotel, we were informed. It was very hard to find since the name has hanged. The breakfast was very lame so. I am used to much better at Hilton so didn’t expect to have to get breakfast elsewhere.

Hotel was finishing construction and transition to Hilton property. Breakfast was more minimal because of construction, but area was clean and stocked. Rooms were freshly updated. Comfortable beds, quiet nights, and very helpful staff all around. Great location. Would stay again.
