Had room facing Haley. All noise came in even people talking outside. Beds very uncomfortable. Lighting in room was poor. The best parts of the stay were the personnel - friendly and efficient.

Very underwhelmed.

We were thoroughly disappointed. For over $500 pernight, one would expect more. It was a very mediocre room with no amenities in a decent but nothing exciting location. I would not recommend this hotel and surprised it was a Hilton.
