Kaitlyn MooreOctober 21, 2018The restaurant is incredible, the access to Riverwalk, and the rooms and lobby are beautifully renovated
- Peter WeishaarDecember 19, 2013Elevators r slow; hallways during winter have the heat jacked up, so much that you nearly suffocate it's so hot; staff is very friendly; No fridges in rooms; great location; rooms r clean & nice.
- Yang ChenAugust 7, 2014The rooms are great, and the location is very nice. In a walking distance to the fantastic downtown!
Michael KielochSeptember 22, 2012Ask for a late checkout & they'll extend your time until at least 1pm. But be prepared for housekeeping to not get the memo & knock on your door repeatedly anyway, also despite a Do Not Disturb sign.
Great location, friendly service, and great hosts for NC Jazz Festival! This is my 4th year in a row -- great event!- It's worth the extra $ to get a room on the river! :) also the hotel has a great location!
Michael IannottiAugust 19, 2011Be prepared to carry all your bags I'n by yourself if you park I'n the back lot oh and ask for more towels when you check I'n Nice view though 
Great staff. Friendly, with lots of information about the local area.
Lobby Elevators too slow? Use the north tower elevators! They are a lot less crowded and are so much faster.- Sara BarringtonJune 25, 2012The staff is great! Great room, great staff! Elevators aren't slow btw...!
TR BeachApril 21, 2023It's the old Hilton. The room updates were nothing special standard cheap furnishing. Great location only plus.- ryan wareJuly 6, 2013Hotel seemed clean but maybe a little dated. no microwave, fridge, but was still a nice stay. I figure you pay for the location over the room perks.
Frank HicksJanuary 5, 2021The place is not up to Hilton standards. I’ve stayed there several times, but it appears to be declining
CelesteAugust 7, 2012Innovations lunch buffet is a waste, go elsewhere. The innovations sign has a layer of dust, your first clue this is not going to be good
They don't have refrigerators in the rooms unless you ask
Jill ZitronJanuary 20, 2013Was just publicly embarrassed by a staff member- probably not coming back
