| - Interesting stay...Hilton Chain has this butt-backwards phenom where their up brand (not talking Waldorf or Conrad, but Hilton, followed by Doubletree) sometimes have LOWER prices than their down brands (Hampton Inn - that'd be pretty down in the scheme of things) has more amenities, such as free breakfast and wi-fi. Sometimes, as is the case with this property, they even have an evening reception, but it would not be unusual to find - same vicinity - a Hampton that's priced as high as, or higher than, a Hilton or Doubletree! In this case, there really isn't an "up" brand near enough: so I settled for this. Sure enough, they have an evening reception. Granted, it's jug wine, Bud Light, and pub fare (as in, you wouldn't really think of eating it unless your taste buds' been dulled by a few cool ones), but I give them credit for trying. Breakfast selection was also a touch more varied than other Hamptons, but man, the quality just isn't there. But I guess at $90 a night, you get what you pay for, maybe a little more. The internet was free, but abominably slow.
