I have stayed here on several occasions and always enjoy my stay. This stay was the best because we got free upgrades and although we came in late at night the staff was friendly like it was a bright afternoon. I look forward to staying here again soon.

I was pleasantly by the condition of the Hotel. An amazing hotel for the price, obviously make sure to book well in advance if your stay coincides with NW University events. The rooms are quaint with high quality furnishings. The hotel is also located walking distance from anything you might want to do during your stay!

The service was terrible. I had to make each request several times. I was given a room next to a broken elevator making a beeping sound. My room had to be changed for this reason at 2 AM. The person making the change was unkind about it and refused to take responsibility. It was one of the worst hotel stays I've ever had. Very disappointing, as I was exhausted and had looked forward to a comfortable room.

Chandler was a gift. He went the extra mile to resolve a booking problem, not of Hilton creation. He gives Hilton a good name. It would be in your best interest to do what ever is necessary to keep him. My I suggest a bonus and/or a promotion.

Loved this hotel! Was worried based on some of the reviews… about the food and elevator and stairs…..but the food was delicious-so good that we ate breakfast daily AND the stairs, should you take those instead of the elevator are no big deal! The decor made you feel like you were in an established old world club. Staff could have not been friendlier. Bikes were a treat too!
