"Great place to stay for a night, especially if your room is above the lobby. Felt safe in that regard. Would not recommend walking outside at any point during the day and I hopped straight into an Uber given the surroundings, even the drivers were nervous about picking me up."

Satisfied with the stay
"Room was clean,staff was friendly. Parts of the room and building could use updating. I usually stay at The Tru by Hilton….I like that there is no carpet on the floor,everything is streamlined,no hidden spaces. This should be considered in all Hiltons. Carpet traps too many germs."
