Mediocre at best
There was nothing wrong with the Hilton, but it wasn't a stellar experience either. I was there for a conference, but being that they have a huge conference center, this should not have been an issue for them. Their system was down when I checked in, they were still able to check me in, it just took awhile. The elevators were so slow that I had to factor in an extra 5-10 minutes to get anywhere and the rooms where the conference was held in were warm. The guest room was fine, although the water in the shower smelled. I asked others if they were having the same issue, and no one else seemed to, so maybe I just have a sensitive sense of smell. We had a couple of billing issues at the end of our stay, which ended up getting worked out, but it was somewhat of an ordeal to get to that point. The pros of this hotel are it's location (a step away from 6th street and really close to the lake as well) and the pool (although crowded, was definitely nice to have). The coffee place in the lobby is nice too. I wouldn't stay here again though, there are a handful of other hotels within a 5 block radius that I would rather stay in.
