Stay great.
Pros:

The staff were amazing as usual. Spotless facility.

Cons:

Unfortunately as we were pulling the female working the gate across from museum was extremely rude. She demanded respect and we were only rolling our windows down. Refused to answer any questions until we ask her how her day was going. I didn’t speak to front desk who acknowledged that that same female had been rude to her multiple times and that this person is not a Hilton employee. However it is definitely a first impression towards Hilton. There are no signs as to who this employee works for. Definitely a reflection of the Hilton and it’s not their fault.I have never been talked to like this without even saying a word. We stay once or twice a year at this facility and first time we’ve ever had an issue.

I would not stay here again because of getting locked out of elevator after 8pm
Pros:

The location

Cons:

The restaurant was awful. We would get locked out and not be able to use the elevator at night to get into the hotel if we weren't back by 8 pm.
