The staff was wonderful, the confusion in reaching/ returning to room due to construction very frustrating also, it would've been great to be oriented to how the power works, ex..the entire power grid to the room was turned off everyday after cleaning. Room would be fridged upon return.. Americans do not function in this manner. Power is aways present, no steps needed.

Stairs in the room corridors, difficult to manage with suitcases (consider building ramps instead, as I've experienced in other hotels). Room/bathroom was roomy & nice but noise from adjoining room was unreasonable and mattress was very hard.

Getting around in the hotel was challenging. We had to go to various levels and long hallways with many direction changes to get to our room. Restaurant food was very plain, and service was slow. Lobster Bisque was very salty, and the fish and chips was probably the least tasty of the 10 plus places thar we had fish and chips. Beds were very firm and not very comfortable. On a positive note, the staff at the front desk were very friendly and accommodating. .

It was worse than disappointment. I felt I was insulted by both Expedia and Hilton. First, neither the Expedia nor Hilton informed us that the hotel was under construction. Due to the construction, elevator access to the our floor was not a direct one. We had to take one elevator from the reception area to floor 1. Then, we had to walk around the restaurant take the stair a few steps down then a few steps up on another stair and get to the second elevator taking us to our floor which was numbered as a negative. yes our floor was a negative number)??!! Inside the room was quiet with temporary cheap carpet but the bathroom did not have a ventilation. If one person used the bathroom for shower for example all the steam and .... would cover the main area of the room. This was also an issue of the construction which was hidden from us because there was a panel in the ceiling of the bath room which was covering the future a/c outlet or vent. This made the stay in the hotel very unpleasant. The bath room door from inside contained water damage. There were not many guests in the hotel. The floor numbers were from -4 to 5. I know there were rooms similar to ours on upper floors that certainly had direct elevator access and probably better bath room. Based on my previous experience with Hilton, in San Francisco (I am a Hilton Honors Member) when you make a reservation through a travel agency like Expedia you will be treated as a lesser guest.

It’s meh, nothing too bad, nothing too good.
Firstly, great location! Perfect for Fringe which is why we were there. So easy to walk to fringe venues from the hotel. Maybe next year the hotel will be better? Right now it’s basically a construction zone. The whole building is covered in scaffolding and reception (or what’s left of reception) is boarded up. Little deceitful of the hotel to not advise that they are undergoing renovations as I wouldn’t have stayed and definitely would have picked somewhere else. Staff need a lesson in customer service when it comes to public areas and elevators though. When your hotel only has 2 working elevator, as the 3rd is boarded up, when a guest comes to the elevators, guests go first no matter what. This doesn’t seem to apply here. Guests can wait. Room was comfortable, housekeeping a bit rubbish. They do the bare minimum to get by, Need to have a process in place to check floors more often, especially if the rooms are way in the back like mine was. Don’t enjoy the stink of spaghetti bolognaise being left in the corridors from lunch until late when I get back. It was ok. It was a bed in a great location. Would I stay here again? Probably not.
