We stayed here so we could walk to a concert at MVP Arena. The property itself and lobby area were very nice. Our room could use a little updating. It wasn't too bad, but not quite up to what we usually see in Hilton's rooms.

This hotel is a dump. Hallways are dirty, my room had stains on the floor, the ac barely worked, the ice machines were all broken, the elevators were broken, the front door was broken, the front desk was understaffed, and basically everything in this hotel was dirty or broken. I am stunned a downtown Hilton was this bad. It’s more like a motel 6 than a Hilton. Can’t believe I paid that much for a place that disgusting.

Very tired property. Bed linen was clean and comfortable. Nice products in the bathroom. Overall the place needs a refurb in the common areas. Air-con must be upgraded, it's very noisy and clunky to use. Staff were pleasant.

Probably the worst experience I ever had in a hotel started with a check in process to the room and the rest of the hotel staff. Just a very miserable bunch of people stay somewhere else this is obviously a poorly managed property.
