Had to change rooms because the first room the carpet was soaked. The second room toilet was not working and the A/C had a mind of its own. Either you freeze or you sweat as the thermostat was not working. Then they charged my credit card without my authorization or knowledge that I had to pay for parking. Terrible experience. Do not recommend, not worth the price the rooms should be $79 a night.

Had a terrible experience at the Embassy by USF! Me and my family got in late on Friday and was given a room. When we get to the room, the room was warm/hot, so we put the AC on and it made terrible noise. We wait a while to see if the room starts getting cooler and if the noise would go away, but it did not. My kids fell asleep, so I walked down to the reception desk and ask to be moved to another room, which they did. The new room given to us was also very warm, but at this point it is already past 1am and I am not going to wake up my kids again. Absolutely terrible experience and we will no longer go to any Hilton chain hotels.
