Okay Hilton

Staff were nice. Room was clean and the bed was comfortable enough. The only issue was that the shampoo, condiotioner and body wash were empty when we got to the room. The pool was cold.

Last-minute stay, worth it!

The reservation process went smoothly as well as check-in. The front end staff were warm and welcoming, and explained all amenities clearly. The receptionist gave me the option to choose my room based on the floors. When I changed my mind about the room that I had initially chosen (didn’t like that the HVAC units were under the window), she accommodated me and assigned me to another room. The room was so comfortable and had a nice view. Cozy room! Nice, clean! Loved the hot shower as well. I will definitely book again in the future.

Decent, needs some maintenance

Room was clean, hotel was a bit confusing as there were 2 hotels in one? Hilton and Home 2. My mother’s room had a leaking toilet and my toilet had a constant dripping.

I appreciated having a bar and small restaurant in the lobby. All of the staff were polite, courteous, and efficient. Gervais Street has a lot of street noise, which is unavoidable, but nonetheless detracts from resting on the street side rooms.
