Cons:

We went to take a shower and had no hot water. When I told the front desk, all she said was ok, sorry. For a Hilton, this was not up to our standards. We will not stay here again.

Very convenient and comfortable.
Pros:

It has been recently renovated, so everything is clean and fresh and new. The room smelled like leather. Loved that they had pump bottles of soap, shampoo and conditioner in the shower, as well as a bottle of body lotion on the sink top. There were several places that were walking distance. The Mexican restaurant just across the street was awesome.

Cons:

The indoor pool was too cold and the breakfast was very sparse. Some breads, a couple of cereals, oatmeal, yogurt and a couple pieces of fruit. On the second morning, I had to ask to have another pot of coffee made. Also the Wi-Fi did not connect correctly. Had to call the desk and have the clerk walk me through a work around.

Pros:

I wish I could remember the man’s name that checked us in. He was very attentive to everyone’s needs. I saw him checking people in, picking up the area to keep it clean, he was working in the breakfast area…he was everywhere—a true team player.
