Great location. Walking distance to The Wharf for good dining and entertainment at night as well as The Mall and all the monuments and Museums. Staff is very helpful and friendly. Free bottled water as well as purified water for refills helps plenty on those long walks around the city.

The restaurant and wait staff was great. That's about all. Received bad directions from front desk, there is no concierge. Room 171 had a strange layout with a huge empty bathroom. The lighting in bathroom is motion sensing and turns off while showering and using the toilet. No amenities - body lotion, pen, paper etc. Coffee was terrible - Keurig selection poor. Pillows hard as a rock. Sheets were always pulling out. There are no convenient restaurants in the area.

Room 12-200 was horrible as it had an overpowering smell of mold and mildew emanating from the shower drain. The smell overpowered the entire room. Receptionist Jordan was excellent but the problem was not remedied. I had to leave the room at 4 am due to the smell and the heating system being stuck on high. Excellent receptionist Senneca switched me to room 14-148. Again at 4 am in the morning!!!! Room 14-148 had a broken safe that wasn't fixed after three attempts(I have a video of the same). The hotel staff, especially Senneca, and Jordan were excellent but the rooms were sub-par. I did not expect this from a Hilton Property. very disappointed, William G.
