Geen Hilton hotel zoals verwacht.
Pros:

Locatie, we hadden doorgegeven dat de tv niet meer zo een mooi beeld had alles was blauw van kleur en kregen direct een nieuwe.
Personeel was erg vriendelijk.

Cons:

Bij de naam Hilton heb je andere voorstellingen. Entree ziet er wel mooi en luxe uit.
Kamers zijn verouderd. Rekje op de badkamer is verroest.
Alleen in het weekend is er een buffet wel klein.
Toen we na het zwemmen naar buiten gingen om even op het terras te zitten kwamen we niet meer binnen.

Glad I got to visit SC, however staying at this hotel took a great deal of enjoyment out of my trip.
Pros:

The location is near the mall which I found extremely convenient.

Cons:

The rooms are extremely outdated, the carpet and decor gives a 1990’s old fashioned Style room. The windows in the room are sealed shut, the a/c smelled like a blow dryer on high heat. The room had a mildew-ish smell to it being that it was poorly ventilated. I expected the opposite with the Hilton name on the hotel.

Overall good stay with some minor tweaks
Pros:

This hotel is nice. The location has lots of restaurants and is near shopping and entertainment. The hotel has great staff who are friendly and helpful. There is a restaurant on site that has a great menu and reasonable prices. Nice amenities. Plenty of parking.

Our only complaints are:
We stayed in room 318. The bed was like sleeping in a sleeping bag on hard cement! We had a pillow that was so flat you could roll up and put in the trash can! This really caused bad neck and back pain. The duvet cover slid off the bed and was very uncomfortable to use when sleeping. The ironing board pad was dirty and the remote had no backing to hold the batteries in. The room also smelled like dog. We are not dog owners. The day we left, someone’s dog pooped in the elevator which was spread across the hotel lobby! Not the hotels fault but they had to be made aware to clean it up. Don’t know if the 3rd floor is designated floor for pets but just to let others know in case they are assigned that floor.

Overall great place though. Just some minor tweaks!

Vile Vee
Pros:

This review could have easily been a 5 Star. However, the atrocious attitude and disposition of Vee at breakfast almost trumped the immaculately cleaned room. We'll elect staying downtown oppose to waking up enduring vile staff personalities.
At least Margaret the night time bartender was kind and courteous to us.

T'Varius at check in last evening at 7:30 pm was very professional, kind, welcoming and cordial at check in. Thanks for such a pleasing personality at the desk after a grueling day of travel.
Barbara/Beverly at 1pm showed great compassion and attentiveness as I returned to my suite late night. Thanks for having an amazing staff. ...
