Hilton Sacramento Arden West

Just for sleeping...

Prós: Sheets and towels were clean. Room was an OK size. Internet worked.

Contras: Surly staff Daily charge for parking No refrigerator in room. Shower head not working properly Tub slippery No bed cover or extra blankets Soft bed Noisy and impossibly to adjust air/heat Really noisy room (planes/trains/automobiles)

Meh

Prós: Nice staff. Heater worked. Plenty of outlets

Contras: Stained linens and towels poorly made bed Poor internet (and if not HH member, you pay) Charge for parking Lots of "fees' drive up the price: beware Currently under construction

Contras: Eateries opening hours did not follow advertised schedule. At breakfast time, had to wait about 5' for a waiter to show up. Hot water took its time in showing up.

Prós: Clean room, great staff, good food.

Contras: I travel for a living, so time off is precious. We stayed at the Hilton as it has always been a comfortable place. My wife was part of this trip and participated in a meeting here. These two days were my few days off. At 8am on Friday morning I was relaxing with a cup of coffee when a very large grinding noise started over head. It was bad enough to knock a few pieces of my rooms ceiling down onto my computer, as I was at the desk. The front desk was helpful with my noise complaint, as the noise ceased. Yet during a business phone conversation I was having the noise began again a little after 9am. Giving up any hopes of relaxing or even having a phone conversation, we packed and left our room. Even the Hilton should inform guests of renovations so that we can understand perfectly that there will be no piece during your stay. Ron
