    “The walls and ceiling had paint coming off and chips of paint hanging. The mattress was really bad. The room did smell old and stale. Walls were chipped and overall not worth over 300 a night. Really needs to remodel and heating air conditioning unit was broken and about to come off the wall. I think if Hilton really knew the condition of your hotel they would demand a remodel or lose the franchise.”

  • No cumplió con mis expectativas.

    “The vintage historic vibe from the 1930’s was a unique touch. The location was really nice. Walking distance to nice restaurants. The room side was great! High ceilings and plenty of space! We really liked the staff. They were really friendly and y. Helpful. Only one was a little cold and not forthcoming with important information about the fees , even after we asked. The live music in the restaurant was a nice touch.”

  • Overall great for price especially if you’re looking to stay for a bengals game. I recommend the double room.
