Hilton hub hotel
Checked in here for final 4 nights of 3 city visit to the States in August. Loved the luxury of Hilton Marina hotel in Fort Lauderdale a couple of years ago and thought this would offer the same somehow. NOT ! This is a huge hub hotel for a combination of leisure and business visitors. It's located in the not so desirable and gritty Tenderloin area which is a bit rough in the daytime and quite menacing after dark as there are so many beggars there with various needs to meet after acquiring your money. Upon entering Hilton you see a massive reception area with huge chandeliers. All artifice I'm afraid as the rooms are simply average and I can't imagine they've been refurbished at all since the Hilton was built (1980's?) NOT a good place to stay. We had room only so I can't comment on other services such as dining etc.. What I can comment on is that though there are security to be seen at the entrance there are none to be seen inside the hotel to counter those guests who enter/exit stinking of cannabis (there are lots of those / possibly tapping into the old 60's San Fran hippy vibe thing). Will better research my Hilton next time but this hotel was not a nice place to return to after touring San Francisco.
