The hotel joined Hilton in 2003 and was set to exit already on January 31^st (read more here), but for some reason, the affiliation was extended through the end of March (read more here).

Conclusion

Accor claims that this hotel is all-new that cannot be the case, as it opened 40 years ago in 1983 and became joined the Hilton system in 2003.

The hotel needed renovations when I stayed there in the fall of 2021, and I am not aware that any significant work would have been done.

Instead of being “all-new,” it will be an old and tired Pullman. The owner needs to spend significant money to bring the property into the 2020s.
