HGI used to be a Hilton, Holiday Inn, and who knows what else. Right on the freeway, noise from hallways, noise from freeway if you're on the wrong side. It's been somewhat renovated, but I try to avoid this one as well. ES can definitely be a dump/zoo also. Hasn't been a good HH property in the area since the DT reflagged.
