Of the 4 Hilton's I stay in regularly in KY and TN, this one has room for improvement. Building is very old and was the most luxurious of the downtown hotels. Unfortunately all that was lost during a bad renovation. Property is not a luxury hotel at all. Problems everywhere. Horrible wall paper pealing ...
