Beautiful building. Upon arrival was told of $25 extra fee per day because it was an historic site. Had to pay another extra $25 per day because the reservation was not for the requested two beds. Have not been refunded the remainder of an additional amount of a $100 required deposit that wad unused.

The security staff on Friday night (Aug 30) was great. They gave me the feeling that things were safe but were not obtrusive. They happily answered questions and were friendly. However you could also see they took their job seriously. Two gentlemen deserve a raise. The staff at the Hilton honors desk was also very friendly. Happy to share suggestions about the hotel.

There were multiple loud families on my floor - as a mom, I’m s...

This was our 4th time staying at this formerly grand hotel, and I’m afraid it will be our last. Services at the hotel have been scaled back to a point that is a bit embarrassing and it’s not just the post-pandemic version. In the middle of our stay in Feb 2019 we had room service available on Day 1, then poof it was discontinued on Day 2, never to return. We thought we were in the Twilight zone. T...
