Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
What I liked most about the property was the friendly staff and the location. The metro was available just below the hotel. Also, other dining options were available downstairs. Also, the boardwalk at the Wharf was just a short walk away with a number of restaurants for lunch/dinner. What I liked least about the property were the prices at the hotel restaurant/bar.

Everything, especially the staff were all terrific, friendly, respectful and served with such kindness. Room, grounds and property were good too. The only problem I saw was the right elevator taking us to floors 11-15. I witnessed 3 ppl get jammed hard by closing doors because the sensors failed to recognize a person going through them. It felt and was dangerous, though each person was gracious about it. But this needs fixed please. Thank you.

This seems to be happening at more hotels, but I am unsure why the "comforters" are like sheets these days. I was cold with the two sheets on the bed, so I called down to ask for a blanket. I called 3x and no one answered so I went down to the front desk. It was 1AM so not sure why they didn't answer.

The Hilton was very clean and comfortable. It was within walking distance to the major museums in the area (12-15 mins). There’s a Starbucks in the hotel which is convenient if you need caffeine in the morning. The website said the pool is heated but it was very cold when we went in June.
Large comfortable beds.
Plenty of storage!
Clean!
Pool view from our room on the 12th floor.

My only gripe would be the room cleanliness. There were fingernail clippings on the floor and the edges of the floor had a layer of dirt and dust around everything. Was obvious they don’t have a swiffer or mop on the cleaning regimen. Also, the front desk hung up on my 14 year old twice when they called to ask if the pool was open. (It was previously closed due to cloudy weather)

I was not given a King Deluxe King as promised. I had to ask for it once I found I had a twin room. They then gave me a King Room but it did not have the pool view as promised. I was there for work so the view was not a big deal. But if I was on vacation it would have mattered
