Lots of carpet and furniture wear and stains. The hallways are noisy. Doors slamming really hard all night. They are in the middle of exterior remodel so there was equipment and workers around. I cut my trip short and only stayed one night. Not a place I will go back to stay.

Property needs a major renovation and a deep clean. Staff was very accommodating and assisted best they could. Majority of appliances, fixtures, lights, toilets, TVs are in disrepair. The carpet and tile floor needs either replacement or a deep clean..stains and holes throughout. Fans and curtains have not been cleaned also having multiple stains and caked on dirt. Had our room moved to another which was a little better but still not Hilton quality I’ve seen in the past. Overall disappointed in Expedia’s and AAA’s ratings of the property and that a Hilton hotel is in this bad of shape. Will not return.

A big hotel but rooms are dated. Needs a lot of renovations. Should start with the carpets! Nice that it is pet friendly but people are not considerate enough to clean up their dogs mess. Location is good, off 280, Walgreens, Starbucks, fresh market are all within walking distance. Seems safe around the property. Breakfast was normal standard hotel breakfast, didn’t really taste fresh.

Booked a room with a queen bed and a sofa bed for three people. The sofa bed wasn't made up and there was no bedding for it in the room. Went to the front desk to get the necessary bedding as well as fresh batteries for the tv remote as the batteries in the remote were dead and corroded. Front desk staff was very polite and helpful with these issues.

DO NOT STAY HERE! I travel a lot and this property was one of the top three worst hotels that I’ve ever stayed in. Common hallways not vacuumed and carpets are very dirty, walls with peeling paint. Room carpet was was ripped, stained and disgusting. Stained sheets, worn duvets, holes in black out shades, Odor in room was rough. This property needs massive TLC and a serious deep clean. Was so grossed out by this place I didn’t even think about trying the breakfast. Slept very little as could not get comfortable in such an unclean environment so packed up and left very early. I’ll stick with the Marriott brand as never had any issues with their quality control.

Look elsewhere
Booked a double room with kitchenette. Carpet was wet in one room for unclear reason. Front desk did not know either (??) but was nice enough to provide a box fan to try and dry it. Shower/baths were not clean (hair and grime). Kitchen area had food scraps on the floor. No draw curtains on the windows and we happened to be by a spotlight. Overall not a great stay but fortunately it was just an overnight passing through. Would look elsewhere

The carpets in the room and hallways were stained. My toilet seat was broken. The bathroom light was pushed in and flickered a lot. The bathtub was soft in the middle. My ceiling fan was so loud and loose. My comforter had blood on it. The bathroom toilet ran and the bathtub leaked. There was left over clothes. Barely any towels and wash clothes. No hairdryer. The sofa bed mattress was stained. The Ac didn’t work great. The refrigerator didn’t cool very well. The elevator broke. The whole place needs a renovation. The staff didn’t know English or what was going on. I’m never staying there again.

First impression was great. Lobby area was clean and modern, and the front desk staff was super friendly and helpful. However, the room itself needed some TLC. In one of the bathrooms the door lock was broken, the light switch didn’t work properly, and the porcelain on the tub was chipped. We also found a used cigarette butt under the kitchen sink. Overall, the property simply appears to need an update that goes beyond the common areas.
