The staff were amazing, the room was clean and very comfy. The toiletries provided were good. My only complaint is the on site “restaurant”. We didn’t even bother ordering food since their menu person has been reduced in half of what I found online and even with what they had their frier was broken so no fries, wings, onion rings. Salads were very expensive and I just didn’t think it would be worth it. The bar was good though and they promote a very chill atmosphere to socialize with other guests if you’re into that

Staff (Aurora in particular) were very helpful with recommendations for places to eat and visit during our stay. Thoughtful and very pleasant staff all around. Parking situation was misleading (I chose a rate for free valet parking that turned out not to exist, but this was an Expedia error.)

The room was clean and had plenty of room. Bed was comfortable. We did not eat at the property. Our big complaint was they charged $18 per day for parking. This is ridiculous because there is no public transportation and they had large areas for parking. A complete money grab by Hilton for no reason. A corporate rip off! We complained but of course they did nothing. Disappointed!!
