I'd return.

This hotel was just what I needed. That said, things were not perfect per se, and I did let them know about the issues I had.

Hotel not up to a Hilton Standard

Always try to stay at a Hilton but this one is old and smells of mold. The front desk sent someone to room to purify the air said it wold take 1 hr, so we stayed at the bar/restaurant for 3 hrs, go to our room and it was filled with white powder, burned my throat, had to request room change, beds are old, tub had hair from previous tenant. Food was good though. Wouldn't stay there again. The price for the room doesn't match the quality of the room. This Hilton needs a refresh. Badly. Two other families experienced the same mold smell in their rooms.
