6/10 Good

The hotel is nice and centrally located. Disappointingly, the staff was not welcoming or accommodating. There is no business office that can help print boarding pass or other documents you’ll need like cruise documents. The night desk staff looked like he’d rather sleep. The room is comfortable. We did not get additional shampoo when empty. The service was not at par for the price we paid.

Perfectly ordinary, grossly overpriced.
Perfectly ordinary, grossly overpriced hotel. Didn’t advise of $100 refundable fee for incidentals. It was reimbursed, but still...bed low to the ground and only moderately comfortable. The biggest insult is the $18 charge for breakfast if you’re not a Silver or higher Hilton Honors member or some such thing. For the price of the room, they could throw in a piece of toast or some cereal.

Hotel is was walkable to many attractions. I booked this hotel originally when it had a restaurant, found out about a week before we arrived that it had closed. Also, if you are staying longer than a couple of days, good luck. Small closet and no dresser. You will be living out of your suitcase, especially if you are traveling with a partner.
