Looked like a complete brand new hotel. The staff was courteous and professional at all times. The breakfast didn’t have many choices, but I’d say it is way better than any other hotel I’ve stayed at. 10/10.

Clean, cordial staff, great mattress and pillows. No hot water Saturday am and did not offer to remedy this problem. It was a hotel wide issue. Hilton guest services reached out and were able to give me some guest points towards a future stay. That made me feel better.
