Pretty much what I expect from a low/mid-rung Hilton: generic decor, overpriced breakfast buffet, horrible music piped inside and out. I was pleasantly surprised by the location, which is easily walkable to the cute shops and restaurants of "uptown" Whittier. I was unpleasantly surprised by the fire alarm that went off repeatedly from 8 p.m. through the wee hours of the morning. We got cagey responses from the staff, including an obvious lie that they were upgrading the system. Eventually they got someone to come in to fix it, but why it took six hours for them to get to this step is beyond me. In addition, the internet in the room (at least on the 7th floor) was extremely spotty, out more often than working, so I can't imagine staying here for business. The water from the tap was so soft it was undrinkable, and the staff was not good about keeping the water in the lobby filled. In summary, good location but mediocre management.
