Perfect checked all the boxes!
Pros:

Beautiful location I loved the flower tree out front caught my eye immediately never seen a tree like it before. The heated pool was very nice as well. Everything was very clean an pleasant. Breakfast buffet was a nice touch as well I throughly enjoyed it. Lots of stores an places to eat all in walking distance!

Cons:

If I had to choose something I’d say that there was no jacuzzi but that’s literally it.

Mixed experience, doubt I will return
Pros:

Mixed experience here. I never stay at Hiltons but decided to give one a try - it's been a number of years. Fine hotel - they have large rooms, good amenities, comfortable beds and a pool / gym. The challenge is the service - I engaged with 4 different people during my stay - 2 were lovely and helpful, the other 2 were flat out rude. The manager was one of the rude ones - I had requested a late checkout and the tone of her voice discussing it was like I was asking for the moon and how dare I even request. Massive turnoff, and left a bad taste, I doubt I would stay again. Also, not a good push for for me try another Hilton as well.
