Great location and comfortable hotel
Pros:

Great location - close to stores, restaurants, and entertainment. The room was clean and the bed was very comfortable. The breakfast was convenient and good.

Cons:

Our shower wasn’t draining and flooded the bathroom. Maintenance was prompt, but the staff should have offered something to make up for the inconvenience.

Safety, security and privacy breach during my stay.
Pros:

I had a major breach of safety, security and privacy during my stay at this property this weekend.

Yesterday, a room key was issued to an individual who was not listed on my reservation. This individual was able to approach the front desk, present her own identification, and gain access to my room despite not being an authorized guest on my reservation.

This incident represents a significant failure of the property's security procedures and has caused me considerable concern regarding my safety and privacy.

I spoke with the front desk manager in person regarding this matter, as well as several other service-related concerns I experienced during my stay. During that conversation, I learned that the front desk agent who granted access reportedly stated that the identification presented matched the reservation. This explanation is highly concerning and appears impossible, as I was not present at the property at the time, which can all be verified by parking records, front desk and security cameras.

I was also very disappointed with my response from Hilton’s guest assistance manager when I called to inform them of this situation as my “complaint was recorded” but no recourse from Hilton guest assistance was provided.

Very alarming experience that I hope does not happen to anyone else.

It was okay wish the breakfast was free.
Pros:

The manager was patient and showed empathy. She was calm and understanding.

Cons:

The fact that I paid for two rooms. Bad communication. Did not get any warning or alert to pay, or that there would be a deposit upon arrival. The deposit is extremely high, $100 a night, 2 rooms, $800. I understand I was to get it back, but it was not mentioned in the messages or the receipt. Because I could have addressed it beforehand.

I like the MDR because it’s an easy stopover for me from and to LAX. The pool area is very nice the rooms are generally
Pros:

The location the beds the staff

Cons:

Some of the hotel rooms need work and the elevators should be renewed. I had to move rooms because the elevators should made noise that penetrated all the way to my room.
