“Don't you think you should be made aware that the hotel is undergoing renovation prior to making reservations? Being a Gold Hilton Honors loyal member, you'd think I'd be made aware when booking through the site directly!? Nope. To my surprise, walking into the lobby to check in, it's under construction.

What used to be a cool industrial gem has declined into a dirty, poorly managed property that feels like a budget motel in disguise. The Experience: - Zero Accountability: I reported a blue-tinted TV and a foul-smelling, clogged sink to the front desk at 11 AM. I was promised a fix...”
