Room was ok, dusty light fixtures but the rest of the room was clean and staff was friendly. The AC didn't cool well and would make a bang when turning on/off which went on through the night but was not worth it to get up at 2am to ask to switch rooms as we only stayed one night. Would stay again if in the area.

We knew the theming of the hotel going in, and it’s very well done. The interiors and decor all make for a different and fun look and feel compared to your more typical Hilton brands. The room was fine, though the furniture had been a bit abused - dresser handles coming off in our hands - and the parking was convenient and easy, even during the holiday. The main issue we had was that the “casual” atmosphere extended to the service level: housekeeping was spotty, with used glasses and beverage cans left untouched and towels not replenished, and the front desk staff was… distracted. I was checked out without any eye contact or any question as to our stay while the staff member munched on a pastry and downed an energy drink. Love the location, and the bar staff was excellent, but we’ll probably look at other properties next time given the price.
