Just ok
Pros:

Good location

Cons:

Remain the room we’re dated, somethings were broken or wobbly, nothing stands out as being great. Rather average for the price point and Hilton brand.

Pros:

Spacious rooms, clean, quiet, comfortable.

Cons:

Inconsistent in making up room during longer stay, and staff (while polite) were unconcerned. Difficult to figure out when/if restaurant was open.

I was very pleased with our stay!!!
Pros:

The room was much bigger than expected. Very clean!!! The staff was very nice. When I had to change the length of our stay, the staff was VERY helpful in making the changes.

Cons:

The body wash was empty but my husband used the shampoo...I had brought my own. I loved the bed but my husband felt it wasn't very comfortable. However, he has back issues.

Nicole at the front desk was AWESOME!!!!
Pros:

It was wonderful and plenty of options. The potato dish was my favorite. Plenty of flavor. Good variety of fruit. Plenty of healthy options as well.

Cons:

I didn't like that some rooms had walk in showers. We were there for a family wedding and some of our family members had a walk in shower. I wish it was asked of us during ck in. I'm older and that would of been helful.
