Little drive to/from town central, decent place and good food but very cold hotel. Everywhere you go, the hotel was cold apparently the common area heater was broken. No lounge area to hangout or do some work other than your hotel room or the bar. Hilton, you can do better!!!!

The rooms were spacious and clean. The staff were friendly and accommodating. Breakfast was great. Unfortunately there seems to be difficulties in the restaurant with dinner service due to a lack of staff. The spa pool wasn't warm enough for us to use which we did relay to staff. Hopefully it's been rectified.
