The room and parking were $668. I knew the room would be high because I needed a roll-in shower with grab bars. I didn’t know I’d have to pay for parking. The room was very basic. Except for the bathroom I saw nothing that was worth $400 . There wasn’t a blow dryer in my room and the Guest Services line was busy when I called. I tried twice and gave up. Blow dryers are basic tools so I had expected to find one in the room. Hilton has a unique way of handling guest services-just take the phone off the hook. I guess they think as long as the person at the Desk chirps “have a nice day” their customer service is fine.

I as very disappointed with the bathroom in our room. Unfortunately we had to make do without hot water for two days. When you book a room you expect a hot shower. While they attempted to fix the problem, they were unable to do so. We were not offered a different room. While we were compensated for the lack of hot water, we would have rather had a place to shower.

Awesome parking, uncomfy beds
Amazing parking that makes walking to all of downtown convient. The hotel was very clean and festive for the holiday. No vending machines but have a "shop" of food and drinks. The pool was up and running and very clean. The only thing i was shocked about was the not so comfy bed or pillows. Normally hotels have beds you never want to leave, but me and the hubby were glad we only had to sleep there 1 night. Free coffee or tea in the mornings, the buffet or any breakfast is a surcharge. We hit the McDonald's down the road. Overall the most convenient place for parking if you have an event downtown.
