    Water pressure was very low, room was a bit dry, no extra blankets in closet. Breakfast was very expensive for what was offered. Silverware, OJ and cups for coffee had to be requested, they weren’t readily available which was strange.

    Room was comfortable for a one night stay.

    Room was adequate but dark. Wish we could keep adjoining room doors open without propping them open with a shoe. Would be nice to have an area to walk and potty pets since you are pet friendly. Need to look at my bill against my credit card statement. Seemed like things didn’t match up but need to wait for final charges to post, so not sure on that yet.

    Staff was VERY pleasant and friendly. Accommodated our request for rooms close together. Location and parking was great. Food at dinner was great! So nice to have good shower products in large sizes to minimize waste. Loved the extra blanket pillow in the room so I didn’t have to call housekeeping. Air conditioning worked great.

    Reception service is bad. A person has hanged my card three times! The card stopped working because of overdraft. When I called, the only advice they gave me was to call my credit card company Breakfast is very poor. People who serving breakfast are very rude. As soon as they saw that we had breakfast included, they lost all interest in serving us. I was told to get coffee by myself from the lobby, while other guests were served! It did not feel nice. We were leaving at 6:15 and could not make it to breakfast in our last day. A person from the reception said that we cannot get "take to go" breakfast. Pool is cold. The pool area is very dirty! Often no towels.

    Clear, large room Nice lobby We did not try dinner, but dinner and drinks are available Nice and friendly personal in bar

    The breakfast buffet was the most disorganized thing I have ever seen. I’ve never seen a buffet that you have to sit and order. It took forever, servers were clearly lost and very overpriced for a “buffet”. I would not eat there again.

    The hotel was very clean and had a nice big lobby area with plenty of seating.

    Pillows are not great. Not the best quality. I would rate the hotel in the 225 dollar range but charging 350 plus on some nights is not worth it.

    Breakfast was good. Had the choice of buffet vs single items of the buffet. Not a big breakfast person so do not need to pay 34 dollars for toast and yogurt.

    My wife got into the spa and got a rash from the amount of chlorine. The whole pool room smelled very strong of chlorine.

    The staff were very friendly and helpful. We had an issue with our vehicle and they helped us book a room for an additional night.

    As a Hilton Honors member the personalization of the visit has definetley changed. The parking garage was a little difficult to manage with a disabled placard if you were in closer to one elevator that the other.

    As always the Hilton chain was on point! The check-in was seemless and helpful. The staff was efficient. The housekeeping staff made sure that I had enough towels for the room and I was set for the weekend. The only downfall was the elevator situation, but even technical difficulties can't be avoided.
