Stay was great. Hotel services and security was great. What I felt bad was the parking and paying extra for it. Overall,
Pros:

Stay and the view. Also hotel services

Cons:

Pay for parking. I feel like parking should be included with stay for free. Paying extra for parking feels like an extra expense. So, if you could add parking free for Hilton guest that would be great.
