We had a nice get away and quick good night sleep on our beach business trip.
Pros:

The location with the good price was good for traveling. We loved our short drive to the pier and traveled away from the crowd to enjoy dinner at A.J. Spurs. Yummy family dining.

Cons:

The Pillows were uncomfortable for me. If you like firm comfortable pillows for neck and head sleeping you might have to ask for more firm / forming pillows.

Pros:

Pretty sad that many people were exploited for more money just because a car show was in town. I get it more rooms booked means more staff but to increase your price feom a normal saturday of 291 to 492 is insane and to me outright unacceptable. you still woukd have made money because you still woukd have been sold out. Necer again will i ise hilton its the principal

Cons:

Pros:

The room size was amazing. I stay in hotels often and infrequently see rooms this large. There was so much space for my family to not feel as though we were on top of each other during our stay.

Cons:

The price was a little high.
