Room was good. There was a used room service tray outside our room though. Check-in experience was terrible. Waited inline to check in took forever. People behind us were cutting the line and getting served by check in staff, when we followed one we were told that there was a queue. We informed her that she had served others that were behind us & had cut line but got a response that we had to go back to the line again & this time we lost our place, more waiting. She didn't give up a proper explanation about parking costs either. Hopeless, needs to be aware of what's happening. Not a good start to staying there. Expect better from Hilton staff. Won't name her but first name starts with A
