This is my second time at this hotel, both times were on AMEX FHR and very similar experiences. Highly recommend as it is tremendous value for FHR. Room rate was $187 after tax.

Just did a 1-night stay on AMEX FHR. Room was ready at 1pm, was upgraded to a superior room which is significantly bigger than a standard room. I'm Hilton Gold if that matters. Arrived the day the Saints were playing and the hotel was p a c k e d. shoulder to shoulder in the lobby with everyone taking photos of the decorations. The sazarec bar was like a nightclub, they removed the barstools and was standing room only. The city was also very packed with all the bars feeling very lively.

I got $100 FHR credit + FHR ($60) breakfast + $50 Hilton Gold so plenty of money to spend.

We did room service for breakfast and it was delicious, FHR breakfast was a little over the $60 with delivery fee and gratuities, but wasn't worried since it is difficult to spend the over $200 in credits you will get.
My friend and I got 2 drinks each at the sazarec bar, and had lunch and sodas the next day and we still had roughly $8 left in credits.

One thing to note: it says gratuities do not count towards any of the credits, but I checked out with a $0.00 balance. Gratuities were reflected on the room statement, but I was never charged for them.
