"Nothing needed"

"Who rated this hotel 9.8? No bellman all during stay. Room had no radio/clock, no pen or notepad, no room service menu or breakfast door hanger. It did have toilet tissue equal to a good Motel 6 and nicely black colored grout in shower. Free Wi-Fi only if you signed up for Hilton app. Breakfast not included, told "not at that price" by front desk supervisor. Asked valet how much parking was and was told "it depends on how busy hotel is", then pointed to sign $48. next day it was $42. I parked in garage around the corner and was told there was an elevator connecting it to hotel. Elevator was "out of order" during entire stay. But the worst was the three trains that went through downtown blowing their whistles. That did not lead to a pleasant night's sleep. When I worked for Hilton, they had regional managers that inspected their hotels on a regular basis. No one should rate this hotel highly!"

"Satellite was down, no tv, bed not comfortable "

"Everything was great, cleanliness, beautiful property. The breakfast was out of quite a few options and the coffee wasn’t working. But everything else was great!"

"All was good, the insurance seemed to be double what I was quoted, that was disappointing !"

"Somewhat of a unicorn...the internet says there are only a handful of Holidomes left that are still in operation and this one checks all the boxes on the nostalgia factor. Large central dome, with a large pool and hot tub and several levels or areas for large groups, family reunions, etc. There is a restaurant inside the holidome that is surprisingly good and also serves as mini-convenience store (pop, candy, chips, etc). As for rooms, there are options facing into the Holidome as well as on the outer ring of the hotel, if you want something quieter. The rooms are spacious, with a smaller bathroom, but everything was clean and well maintained. Large mini-fridge and microwave in the room. TV had a good variety of channels, including HBO. Room HVAC was built into the wall, instead of the noisier version mounted below the window that you usually see. Lots of hot water in the shower. Lots of parking in the attached lot and there are doors to access the building close to your room. Checkin was smooth. No free breakfast that I could see, but you can eat at the restaurant in the Holidome. If I was in the area and could get a room here, this would be the first place I'd look. It's unique in a way that most hotels now are not and that makes it kinda fun."

"Great pool (bummed no not tub), rooms were spacious and great for larger families."

"Clean room, friendly staff, so-so breakfast with very limited offerings. Very convenient to the airport, Gray’s Park, Blank Park Zoo, and easy access to downtown."

"What a nice new property that was super clean. A modern style with walk-in shower and a extra large tv. The breakfast was Hilton good with all the extras. Only thing missing was a hot tub by the nice pool."
