Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
All of the staff I interacted with were awesome, they were very friendly and welcoming and I had a genuine pleasure speaking with them. However, I had loud neighbors. They blasted their TVs late into the night, even when I put ear plugs in I could hear every word from their TV. My suggestion for Hilton is to actually invest in noise canceling insulation between units. This would help minimize cases like this.

Staff was great. Friendly. Helpful. The room didn’t have any linens or pillows for the pullout bed and there wasn’t any extra toilet paper. The toilet wasn’t flushing well, but anytime we called down we got what we needed quickly.
