Nice hotel, great service, horrible floor plan

The hotel itself was nice enough and the service was good. The issue we had was one that unfortunately cannot be corrected. It is for the reasons below we will not be staying there again: the lift was so small we had trouble Gerri g our luggage + toddler in a stroller into the car. Once we got to ou floor, we encountered two small flights of stairs on the way to our room. Again, with the toddler in a stroller and luggage from two weeks of travel, this was extremely inconvenient.

Good hotel but under significant construction.

Good location and good breakfast. However, hotel outside and lobby area are under construction. Elevators were busy and the key system was not working. Overall not the Hilton experience we were hoping for. They should mention the construction so guests can decide if they wish to book.

This Hilton was great. Although nowhere near as pretty as the pictures since it's undergoing renovation but that's alright. Beds were super comfortable and the room was spacious.
