Highly disappointed in this Hilton Curio
I am a frequent traveler and was Highly disappointed by this Hilton Curio Hotel. First off, they don't even offer complimentary water or coffee and breakfast is the HobNob restaurant which is over priced and food is just heated up not really fresh cooked. When I asked the new attendant he advised the complimentary coffee was in the room. The coffee is free but you have to use tap water or you can use the $3 bottle water in your room. The lady at the desk checked us in, gave us our keys and that was that. No Hilton Honors welcome bag, offered no information on breakfast or anything. I don't mind paying for a nice coffee but even Econolodge and Red Roof offer coffee in the lobby. Everything was extra and with the price of the room you just expected a little something to say thank you. Even the desk help was no help. Either on phones or chit chatting with the valet. Which btw, no good parking options.
