1. Which is too bad because the public areas are lovely, modern comfortable and well designed.

2. It wasn't bad.

3. Strongly, STRONGLY suggest that you request a high room on the West side of the hotel as soon as you book - the noise from the freeway was pretty bad though continuous so except for the trucks and sirens it turned into white noise after a while.

"Spectacular staff make this one a good choice - but park somewhere else! " Read full review on TripAdvisor 3/26/2012 Vote

4. Also there was a bad storm, and staying high made for wind to go through the window frames (not enough window sealant) and not sure what would have been quieter.

"A pleasant stay " Read full review on TripAdvisor 2/20/2012 Vote

5. Other than the points mentioned we had a wonderful time here and it was within walking distance to everything we needed and the hills were not too bad to walk as some mentioned.

"Very Pleased " Read full review on TripAdvisor 2/20/2012 Vote

6. -There are a lot of good in house dining options for a hotel of this price and the food is not Hilton-unaffordableThe bad:-If there is a big conference on, the way that the elevators are programmed means you will never get one (prompt elevators w/o conference present)-There is a bit of road noise no matter where you are in the hotel it seems-We enjoyed the location in close proximity to major city sites and did not mind the exercise of the extra hill climbing on foot, however, less fit car-less patrons may not appreciate this hotel's lofty location.

7. In almost 35 years i have NEVER experienced skin problems even half as bad as i have since staying at the hotel.

9. This hotel claims they are 4 stars and their bath products are supposed to be from a well known spa so I thought 'hey how bad can it be?'.

10. He did not seem to care about my concern at all, and he caused me to have a bad 'after taste' from staying here.
