Disliked: Staff & service
The receptionist who checked me in was very rude upon asking question. I believe that lady should not be working as a front line greeter to the customer visiting the city. That ladys presence made my impression on the city durham so poorly. I can take little run down old facility but cannot accept rudeness of the staff. Very poor management

First night was great everything was clean and comfortable. We checked out but had to stay another night we were put in different rooms. The rooms were clean bed comfortable but the tv had no streaming channel and the heat would not get over 67 degrees completely different from the first night. To be fair they were upgrading the property so this may have had something to do with it.

The bed was filthy with blood marks. The bathroom was filthy. There were hair in the tub and a leftover used wash cloth on the tub spout. I ended up not taking a shower in that bathroom, instead just freshened up using the sink before checkout. Terrible experience especially from a Hilton hotel.

Check-in process was abysmal. Wrong room (2 queens vs 1 king reserved)... back downstairs ... "Expedia didn't tell us it was a king" (as if) ... only king left is pet friendly room ... looked ... it stank like dog piss ... back to reception ... sold out sorry all we have are the 2 queen beds ... settled for that. Buffet breakfast cancelled for tomorrow bc too many people are checking out? Unheard of. All in all an abysmal experience. Won't be back. Shame on you Hilton.
