As soon as I stepped into the room, there was a strong, disgusting mold-like smell. The hallway was also hot, and this was the first hotel I’ve ever been in with such a strong moldy odor. It was so bad that cigarette smell would have been better.
- 4/5
I would highly suggest moving away from carpeted flooring since they need extra maintenance and care. The atmosphere is very welcoming and absolutely did not smell like cbd, which is a plus.

room was decent and clean. you can tell it's an okder refurbished hotel with the room smell. Bed and pillows were comfortable. But, shower gel dispenser was empty. we had to use facial bar soap to bathe. Breakfast was a mediocre. This is probably the lowest grade for a Hilton. Coffee was empty at 7:00. 4-5 people walking around looking for coffee. Front desk lady was too busy talking on her personal cell phone while everyone looking for coffee until someone brought it to attention twice.. Breakfast only had boiled eggs, cereals, bagels, muffins and fruits and instant oatmeal packets. No hot breakfast surprisingly being a Hilton. Being a Hilton Honors member, this is the worst hotel I've stayed and would never return again.

I've stayed at this hotel before but it has changed hands since the last time I stayed and I can honestly say that it has greatly improved. The rooms and bathrooms have been updated and are in good condition, the lobby and hallways were clean and neat, and the staff were very friendly. Everything was clean and the large tv was a bonus. We normally stay here for concerts in Atlanta or Duluth and while it's sometimes a bit of a drive depending on where in Atlanta you're going, it is certainly a huge relief to not have to fight with the traffic the next day. Plus there are a great selection of restaurants that are very close by. The hallways smelled like marijuana when we came back at night and when we left the next morning. I don't mind the smell but if you are sensitive to it that may be something to keep in mind since every time I've stayed here, regardless of ownership, that has been a possibility.

The staff is friendly. Nice continental breakfast. The room was clean. The check in and out was quick. The only problem was the TV did not work. When I asked a staff member why the TV channels said off air, he said it was out of the hotels control. I was unable to watch the news and see the problems the TSA was having at the airport. I did make my flight, only because I had precheck on my ticket. I would stay there again, but please get the TV's fixed.

Rooms were clean. My complaint would be no ice melt on the sidewalks as there was a snowstorm at the time. Breakfast wasn’t great, but didn’t expect it to be. Cereal, yogurt, bananas, bagels and a muffin were the choices. I believe I saw hard boiled eggs as well. Since I’m low carb, I couldn’t eat any of it which was ok because I brought my own breakfast. No coffee maker in the room either, but they did have hot coffee and hot water in the lobby the whole time we were there so that was nice.

I’m very familiar with the area. The exterior of the property house nice curb appeal. The inside is a little dated. I showed up to a room with an operable TV after two trips to the front desk to swap out batteries and then a different remote. I finally told the gentleman at the front desk that I had just driven 400 miles I sleep with the TV on to just forget it that I was going to bed. He offered to give me another room, but at this point I was unpacked and not really in the mood to repack and move rooms, but he was personable and tried to help but at 10 o’clock at night, he had no one to help him with any type of audiovisual expertise. This is the first hotel room in my life that I’ve ever slept in and did not have an operable TV.

The sliding shower door in the bathroom was broken and would not stay closed, forcing me to hold the door with one foot while showering. I requested a room change, but was told that no rooms were available and no immediate action was taken. At checkout, this issue was not properly addressed; I was only told later via email that someone would follow up, which felt insufficient. In addition, the bathroom door did not close properly, and the soundproofing was very poor. I could clearly hear conversations from the hallway. The heater was extremely loud—so much so that I would not have been able to sleep without earplugs. The award-winning breakfast was also underwhelming. There were very limited food options. The boiled eggs were cold and inedible, and the cream cheese for the bagels was not refilled. It was difficult to understand how this breakfast received any award. Overall, the hotel did not meet basic expectations for comfort or service.

Breakfast was very disappointing pretty much just carbs, the only protein was egg and for fruit a banana. The room itself was okay, I do wish that the sofa bed wasn't next to the AC unit so I could run the room colder without freezing my kid.

We just have a 20lb dog, wish they could charge on a sliding scale...

It was close to a lot of different restaurants. The room cleaners were friendly and always said hello. I was impressed with a ironing boad, iron and microwave oven were in the room.

AC in the lobby was not on and was immediately so hot and stagnant. Our room and hallway smelled like pee and wouldn’t go away. The breakfast was just a small corner for self serve and didn’t have anything hot or fresh. Our TV wouldn’t work or turn off, so we had to sleep through the night with it on and bright. Besides that it was a mediocre stay, probably won’t return.

We paid full price and yet when we arrived, the gym and pool were both shut down and they said they now don't serve hot breakfast. We literally only booked it because of good breakfast reviews. Now, the reviews are scrubbed since there's new ownership and between the time of booking and the stay they cut breakfast, closed everything down and yet we still had to pay full price. Check-in was rough, took close to 30 minutes to get checked in because they couldn't figure it out and then had to go get rooms ready (despite us coming in past the 3pm check in time.)

Not a good hotel, if you can call it that. It was gross and the carpet was as old as time. The rooms were ok but the water smelled like something was wrong with the plumbing. There are much nicer hotels less than a block away at just an extra $20 per night, Wishing I had stayed there instead.
