Absolutely Gorgeous
The room was amazingly clean. All the staff that worked was very polite. The food was delicious. I would definitely recommend my friends and family to stay at the downtown Hilton. Having the skywalk to get to the Wells Fargo arena was brilliant.

Greedy
This hotel is all about extra charges. They want more than $4.00 for a 12 ounce can of coke. $28 for parking. They don’t have coffee out so you have to buy coffee. To greedy I will never stay there again.

Expected more from Hilton
Service at the front desk was very slow. We stayed here because it was attached to the events center/Wells Fargo Arena. The location was nice, but everything else was subpar. You have to pay almost $30 just to park your car. There is no information or map about the facility! The rugs and floors were very busy and made me dizzy! The breakfast buffet was the worst one I’ve ever been to - including free ones!! This was not free however, we had to pay $23 each for bacon, scrambled eggs, mystery muffins and burnt to a crisp pancakes!! If you need something such as butter, you’ll have to hunt someone down! Very disappointing and expensive stay☹️
