Color Run Weekend
I stayed at the Hilton City Ave this past weekend with a group of friends, I am an Honors member with them and we booked 2 rooms, we were participating in the Color Run (Eakins Oval). First impression of the neighborhood was definitely sketchy. The parking was not ideal, we parked in the $5 lot and walked up the road with all our bags in the 106 degree heat! The view from our room was also sketchy (if possible ask for a reservoir view) our room looked out over some other buildings and it looked like other Hilton rooms or the Homewood next door were also visible. The room was alright, the bathroom floor was sticky (possible used to much cleaning product), the roll of toilet paper they left was practically finished, there were stains on the roll pillow they leave on the bed. I do have to say though that Hilton's by far have some of the most comfortable beds in the industry! The second room our group had was under a different name and apparently not under my Honors account, they had a nicer view on the other side of the hotel and did not have the cleaning issues that ours did.
My biggest issue was at the front desk on Saturday evening, we were looking to get a later check out so we could return and shower after the run, I walked up to the counter and the employee was texting on her phone. I stood there for a bit, shaking my keys a bit to make sure she knew I was there, cleared my throat...after a few moments she looked up and didn't seem to care that I had been standing waiting. She did however allow us to check out at 1pm, which my entire group was very grateful for! We did call up to the front desk on occasion for parking info around Eakins Oval and for wake up calls, they were great in assisting us! Also, we asked the concierge for a dinner suggestion and he pointed us in the direction of this little village with shops and great options for restaurants! 
Overall, our stay was convenient for what we needed, some things can be improved upon. We are planning on returning next year for the Color Run and would book this hotel again.
