Let me start by staying the staff was amazing. Without them, this stay would have been a 1 star. The staff did everything they were allowed to do in order to offer me help. However, the room is where everything turned to crap. The television didn't work. The bathtub didn't work and when attempting to swap from shower to bath, a metal bolt shot out at me that I had to fix. The mini fridge key was hidden and had somehow fallen behind the entertainment center. There was a metal wire disconnected on the window that my fiance got scratched on. The soap gave me an allergic reaction. The food in the restaurant had my fiance vomiting after. The ballroom was not accessible at any point. Overall for the price, I feel a customer is better off going to a Holiday Inn than this particular Hilton.

Beautiful hotel! Stayed for 3 nights. There was something nasty in my coffee but the hotel took care of it and acted quickly. My sisters had a wonderful time and we could read books all day by the fireplace in the lobby!! I love when someone is playing piano. Great place to be.

The property itself is beautiful and historic. The parking situation and arrival at the hotel to check in are extremely limited and difficult to navigate. Upon arrival there was nowhere to station my car for check in, no valet, nothing. I ended up in a parking structure on the block next to the property and had to walk with my luggage at night to the hotel. The food quality at the restaurant was not quite what we would expect for a high rated hotel, but the service and staff were amazing and very nice. Would definitely stay again, just be aware of the difficulties with parking and arrival.
