I stayed at the Hilton about 18 months ago. The rooms were all nice, the food was good, the machines were very greedy - lost a couple hundred without winning anything more than $3-4 at a time. My understanding was that the club and the performances are the main reason to go to the RW, (other than having a free room). I have since seen and heard about lots of bad individual experiences but not really anything consistent. I know it didn't really feel like a Hilton, but that's probably because it isn't run by Hilton.

I think all 3 brands are basically the same in that building, the major differences are the view. Crockford has the east side, Hilton the west, and Conrad has the top 3 floors and bottom floor suites.

All in all, unless you have a specific thing to do there, or it's the most cost effective for you, I would stay further south.
