Oh goodness gracious, from the time we checked in to the time we left, this was a bad experience.  We stayed there last year because of an Expo we were attending and this is conveniently close to the convention center.  The \""non-smoking\"" rooms we got were reeking of smoke and all they did was come in an spray some nonsense that did not eliminate the problem.\n\nThis year, we participated as exhibitors at the same Expo and because some of the partners in the company are older, we thought it more convenient to stay at the Hilton again.  Should never have cancelled the reservations at the Embassy Suites.\n\nThe guy checking us in was a snotty little brat.  Everyone working there made it obvious they expect a tip - but hey, how about some service, or maybe even a smile to show you deserve that tip? \n\nYep, $4 bottles of water, $11 bacon, egg and cheese sandwiches, everything over-priced and just mediocre to terrible service.  We were there for 7 days and in that time I can honestly say, there were two folks working there who made us feel like guests.\n\nI agree with everyone on here - deco, atmosphere - old, rugged, boring.  Only the pool area was nice.  \n\nThe food at the Chinese restaurant was very good I must say.  And the wine at the Plaza Bar good.  Buffet was good but when you're there for a long time, you realize there isn't any variety from day-to-day.  Alas, our days were long and tiring, so decided to eat in before relaxing and hitting the strip. \n\nI read on someone else's review that he did not give this a 1-rating as there were no bed bugs, I will follow the same rules and do the same.  I fear however, this does not give the place as bad a rating as it deserves.  \n\nSheets/pillows did not smell fresh.\n\nGlad they provided shampoo, conditioner and lotion w.out charging for them as well.\n\nI could go on but I hate writing negative things.\n\nNot thrilled.
