10-Apr-2025 Verified review, stayed from Wed Apr 09 to Fri Apr 11 2025 at a $125.38 average nightly rate.
"Pretty Noisy"
Overall score2.0/ 5
The walls were very thin. Could hear every word of a phone conversation in the next room. Plus a bunch of college students were having a party at 3am across the hall. Neither my wife nor I got good sleep at this hotel. The bartender at the in house cocktail bar (Wilder) was disorganized and inexperienced. The Hilton Garden Inn down the street is a better option.
