Was checked into a room with no hot water but didnt realize until late as we came in after 9pm laid down and decided to tell staff in the morning as I was exhausted. The manager didnt seem too bothered about the problem after I went down to check out/ even though I called hours before no one ever came up to see what was going on . she said the room was checked before we got in but had they checked they would have felt zero hot water. so she lied. will never stay there again/

Dear guest,Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.My apologies that your stay did not go well. We understand that having hot water is essential to a comfortable stay. I do see that at checkout your room rate was issued a discount based on your report in the morning. My apologies if that was not communicated well. Please know that as your room was prepaid via a third party. It may take a bit to see the refund of the discounted amount. This will be issued from the 3rd party site directly to you.

The double billed me costing $600 for a one night stay. The hotel is under construction there’s only 1 working elevator, and construction mess around hotel. Parking garage is supposed to be comped and cost no more then $20 for car, the garage takes your ticket so you constantly have to go to desk to get verified. And can’t get a person on phone for billing error. All in all worst hotel experience I have ever had!

It was connected to XL Center. Overly priced; terrible service at its bar/restaurant. The elevators were not working. Had to wait more than 20 minutes to get from the 7th to 1st Floor. Had to use the fire exits to get to the ground floor. Prices were outrageous. The room was clean, and the front desk was helpful.

It would have been nice to know when booking this property that the pool was going to be closed. It was one of the main reasons we chose this property. The cost of the coffee vs what you got in the restaurant also left a lot to be desired.

Fantastic staff!
Stayed for my husband's birthday. Chose the Hilton due to back to back events we were attending at the XL Center. Understand that there is construction going on as the renovations continue. Barring that, everything was great. Can't say enough wonderful things about the staff, especially Juan at the front desk. He went above and beyond.

First, this property is NOT connected to the Convention Center as it states on the Expedia summary. It is adjacent to the XL Center. Rooms are adequate, bathroom very small. Small annoyances: no garbage can in bathroom (especially inconvenient for women), coffee maker could not be plugged in where it was set up due to lack of outlet, coffee maker had not been cleaned as the tea I made tasted disgusting. For the price, definitely expect better.

There were several hotels from which to choose but I chose the Hilton because I wanted to make sure I was comfortable. To my surprise, there was no hot water! When I called the front desk, they asked if I wanted them to send an engineer to my room. I explained that I knew how a sink and shower worked and did not need help, only hot water. When I checked out, the clerk admitted to me that this was a problem. They did refund part of my stay, but I would have rather had a hot shower. If they knew the problem existed, they should not have checked in guests until it was fixed. I expected more from the Hilton!

There is construction going on in this property. It starts as early as 7:00 for moving things around, the banging starts at 8:00. I traveled all day from the west coast, checking in at around midnight. I didn't get to sleep until 1:30. So banging at 8:00 with a full afternoon of work ahead was unwelcome. Graciously, the GM comped my night, but I would have rather slept. Then, the hot water in the shower takes at least 5 minutes to get hot. I didn't know this, so I called down to alert them of no hot water; the receptionist told me it took 15 minutes. I'm glad she was exaggerating, but even 5 minutes seems like an eternity to break one's morning routine. And no one warned me of this, so it added insult to injury with the noise. Frankly this place is WAY over priced for the facility.
