My flight got delayed two hours so my wife and I got to the hotel near midnight.. when we got there we were told that our room was cancelled that we had reserved days in advance.. it hadn’t even reached 2am yet they sold our room to some one else (balcony and all) and had no other option for us on a Friday night sold out….. never again

Still pretty outdated I feel like the pictures were a bit of false advertisement. The parking was extremely high but the only perk was the location and staff. Decent stay.

For a nice location, I was shocked by how many issues there were. There is no free coffee, I stay at less than nice places and they still have free coffee. The valet were oblivious and not welcoming. My room was not ready until 45 minutes after check-in time, which driving into to town is based on check-in time. Lastly the one day I did not put the “Return Later/Do Not Disturb” sign for room clean they didn’t show up until 5 pm after I already returned from my day of work. Lastly on Hotels.com it says Breakfast Available but that did not mean free so that was a big let down as a filter.

This place was pretty underwhelming. It was an older hotel and didn’t look like the pics that were provided. The room had an old smell to it and the floors were poorly cleaned. The hotel is in a good location but it’s not the nicest. The doubletree in ATL is newer and way nicer so I expected a little more.

Would not recommend this property, dirty rooms, furniture is old and damaged, you have to pay for parking and it is very overpriced, overall a very dirty property.

This hotel has outstanding ‘can do’ staff. The Reception staff make you feel welcome, the rooms are well serviced, a shuttle is provided for nearby ( 4 mile radius) areas and a good selection of easy meals are available with bar service too. The Foyer can be a bit noisy but if you like convivial people this hotel is one you’d enjoy.

But hotel is ‘worn’ and feels and smells ‘old’. Booked a suite, but still did not get refill of water bottles nor coffee. Cigarette burn marks in the room carpet. Noisy aircon. And a weird smell of sewage or uncleaned aircon. Asked them to check, but no solution. Usually do not leave bad reviews, but had to this time. Commendable staff, love that! But will not book again.

We had a wonderful experience during our stay! The hotel was clean, comfortable, and welcoming. The staff was friendly, helpful, and made us feel right at home. Everything was well-maintained, and we truly appreciated the great hospitality. It was a relaxing and enjoyable stay from beginning to end. We would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a comfortable place to stay. We look forward to visiting again!

However, the hotel is seriously outdated and desperately needs renovation. The furniture looks like it belongs in the 1980s, the lampshades are crooked, the paint is peeling, and the gray carpet looks and smells like something you’d find in a neglected apartment. Parking is outrageously expensive—around $30–35 per day for self-parking and $45 for valet. These are practically Las Vegas resort fees disguised as parking charges, which is ridiculous considering the location, the abundance of parking in the area, and the already expensive room rates. The most frustrating experience was housekeeping forgetting to replace the bath towels. I discovered this only after stepping out of the shower, soaking wet and cold, and had to call and wait for someone to bring towels. Completely unacceptable. Overall, the hotel is clean but tired, worn out, and overpriced for what it offers. It desperately needs a major refresh, especially at these prices. Definitely could have been better.

Property was beautiful but a lil dated to have over 20 floors and only have 1 ice machine located on the 2nd floor was insane. Sofa bed was very uncomfortable. Stayed for 3 days and room was only clean 1 day. Otherwise it was a good stay overall.

Bar staff and the valet team weee excellent. Valet was an expensive especially as they parked my vehicle within 20 feet 9( the entrance. Was also a little taken back back by a 35% gratuity for the bar staff. Will definitely stay there agin.

The hotel is in need of significant renovations and updates. Our room had visible water stains on the ceiling, the bathroom sink had very low water pressure, and it took several minutes for the water to reach a comfortable temperature. Additionally, the wall-to-wall carpeting appears outdated and should be replaced with a more modern, hygienic flooring option. Given current hospitality standards and the importance of cleanliness, I would expect the hotel to prioritize these improvements to provide guests with a more comfortable and sanitary experience.

It was clean for the most part, we had a balcony room you can tell that area isn’t maintained well. Didn’t visit the amenities so I’m unsure about those , but the hotel is in a good area and accessible to a lot of things.

I stayed in the king suite with a balcany. A bit of a wait for check in but it went smoothly. The warm cookie was delicious. Plenty of space to hang out with others after the main event in the suite. The room is outdated and the carpet and furniture need to be cleaned. There was no pation chairs for the balcony to sit and enjoy. There's a kitchen but no pots/pans or utensils available. This would have made the stay better because all I needed to do is order groceries and have them delievered to cook. I was able to bring my leftovers and heat up in the microwave. We took advantage of the buffet breakfast in the restaurant. Our food was cold. I won't eat there again. I tried to order room service on sunday night and was told it wasn't available I had to order from the bar and pick it up. Also, the website states hotel shuttle available to the airport. This is not true. The pool area was spacious and I was able to enjoy without a crowd. The hotel was overall clean.

The front desk staff rushed our check-in process, she did not explain parking just pointed at a QR code and told me to follow the directions. The valet parking staff actually explained parking once we checked in. The water in the shower was not hot. After calling the front desk we were told we had to run the water in the sink to make the water in the shower hotter. Very much not giving upscale for the galleria area. Beds were very comfy and our room was cleaned throughout the duration of the trip.

The room was okay. The description for the room included a microwave and mini fridge. I did not have either one. Upon inspecting the room when entering, there was a puddle of water on the bathroom floor and no towels. The front desk clerk assisted immediately.

Terrible service. Had to constantly ask for coffee, silverware, towels and even soap. Elevators are seriously slow or not working. Room was totally dated - apparently not renovated since the 1970’s. Valet parking is a total ripoff and they monopolize the entrance so if you don’t use the service it’s inconvenient. Will never stay there again and don’t understand how this is a Hilton.

To make matters worse, we requested clean towels and didn’t receive them until 24 hours later, which is unacceptable for such a basic housekeeping request. Several days after checking out, I’m still having issues tracking my incidental deposit, with no clear explanation of when the funds will be released. Between the poor communication, mishandling of payments, and delayed housekeeping service, this stay was disappointing. I expected much better customer service and professionalism.

The cleanliness of everything, from the check-in lobby to the rooms. The breakfast is the best: a buffet of all kinds of great treats for adults and children. The staff is so wonderful!!! The best part is that there is plenty of room in your room! I didn't like that at times, people smoked (weed smell) outside by the valet area front doors. not the hotel's fault though

The workers at front desk and bartenders were amazing. The rooms are outdated, I have black mold and insect in the shower. This was a suite that I was given, not a room but a suite and all I was offered was a free breakfast, to HELL with that. But has it rated a 4 star hotel. That's trash

The entrance and parking situation was inconvenient and a little confusing. The parking area is quite far from the main entrance, so we had to temporarily leave the car outside while checking in and then go back to park it. The staff was friendly and helpful, which we appreciated. However, the hotel itself felt dated and could definitely use some updates. We booked a room for four adults, but the room was quite small and only had two towels when we arrived. The conditioner bottle in the bathroom was also completely empty. The bathroom was especially outdated. Even though it may have been cleaned, its overall condition and appearance made it feel less clean than it should. Overall, I don't feel the quality of the hotel matched the price we paid or what I would expect from a 4-star hotel. Unfortunately, based on our experience, I would not recommend it.
