Reviews based on Location
What a great hotel and an awesome visit! Carrie and Eric, both front desk managers, were fantastic… professional and yet so welcoming - we were treated as VIPs from the moment we entered the front door. ||As Diamond members we have questioned our loyalty to the Hilton brand due to lack of recognition and benefits at many properties. ||The Wit exceeded our expectations in every way. The food, the view, the people, the room, the location… perfect. ||We loved our stay and love this hotel. We will return.
This hotel was excellent. Room was spacious and very clean - well appointed. Restaurant/bar very good. Didn't have one bad meal. On top of it all the service was spectacular - from the front desk to cleaning staff - all were incredibly friendly and helpful. Location for walking is very good.
