Looking for a little advice as we usually stay at the hilton but it is twice the price this weekend.
Be interested to see how close your evaluation matches deac83's.

We're staying there for 10 days in August...partly paid and partly on an award certificate.

I was distinctly told by another FT'er very familiar with the property NOT to request or pay for a suite.

He said the regular rooms have been renovated but the suites are in sad shape until sometime in 2008.

Again, I'd be interested in recent, firsthand impressions. I'm a Platinum with Marriott and would go for the suite...paid or otherwise...if it's a quality room.
