Pros:

I liked the suite because it offered two separate bedrooms. The outdoor spa was nice.

Cons:

Breakfast was only offered until 9:30am, not 10am. The door leading to one of the bedrooms was broken. The bathroom tub could use updating.

Pros:

Other than housekeeping the property all round was lovely

Cons:

Our only issue was housekeeping each day seemed to be something, entered without knocking, had to request the room be made up to return after a day out to not be done, then arrive when we were back in our room, one day only provided one towel for two people, next no toilet paper, so ran out

Nice rooms! Good food! Poor service for a Hilton
Pros:

Hotel is historic and beautiful. Rooms are nice. Food for wedding venue was good! For a Hilton Hotel they lack
in customer service which was disappointing and a bit embarrasing for us as we had almost our entire guest list stay at the hotel. Would be cautious in working with catering sales manager who is inexperienced and did not follow catering contract details for wedding. Thank goodness outside vendors and wedding coordinator were excellent!
