Disappointing
Pros:

The pool was a nice benefit

Cons:

Very very basic and dated. Expensive for what it is. On a highway so noisey by the pool, gym super basic and rooms veryyyy basic. $40 per day for parking on top of the already expensive stay. Was hoping for something more luxury for those prices.

They canceled our room and didn’t have the decency to call us to let us know they were offering us a room at another hot
Pros:

I didn’t even get to stay they canceled our room because they “overbooked” so all the rooms were taken.

Barista Extraordinaire
Pros:

Angelo is among the most personable baristas ever to grace a Starbucks! Patient & informative, he helped me decide on trying the DT Cookies vs a tin of the OG kind.

Pros:

Some staff was nice, place was decent.

Cons:

Had to leave our suite the night of our wedding due to bad smell coming from the sinks. They tried to downgrade our room and when we weren’t satisfied they refused a full refund. Had to leave the night of our wedding at 2:30 am. Horrible experience

At $200/night you'd expect a complementary breakfast of some sort and better room
Pros:

When you pay $200/night you expect the hotel to be relatively up to date and have normal complementary breakfast services included. This was not the case here. I attended a convention held at this hotel and the rooms were in my opinion the standard affair for the US (low quality). The balcony was not serviceable and I noticed most of the doors and walls had damage to them. I expected a bit nicer accommodations for a Hilton.

What really blew my mind was that the conference's included breakfast had to be the biggest joke of any complementary breakfast I've seen anywhere including the lower budget places like hotel 8, etc. A few minor fruit selections, yogurt, and poor quality coffee. Not even cheap cereal or eggo style waffles, toast, etc. let alone any real hot food items like eggs, etc. This is what was available to every guest unless they wanted to fork over more money. I'm not sure what the conference paid per night but I had to reserve an extra night or two there at ($200/night which I reserved directly with Hilton) and I received absolutely nothing in terms of complementary breakfast, etc. except one of their cookies that they provide you with at the front desk.

I thought my Hilton Rewards level was at the tier where the water in the room was included but soon found out that a standard water bottle cost me $4! Food for the conference lunches was ok, I've had worse at some other venues and then in Europe far better than anything in the US. The room was clean but when you walk out of the hotel be prepared to come across homeless people (this is California of course).
