Excellent hotel
Pros:

Everything except the breakfast was excellent.

Cons:

The breakfast ranked as average with breakfasts that are provided free of charge, but for $42 for two people I would expect a pile of scrambled eggs that wasn't so totally dried out, bacon that wasn't so fatty and potatoes that weren't such unappetizing cubes. We only ate the oatmeal, which, to be fair, was quite good.

Just fine
Pros:

Staff, welcome cookie and water. They were on top of my bedding request. Lots of (paid) parking.

Cons:

Air conditioner was very noisy. There was no wine glass in the room, but they let me borrow one from the bar.

First Rate Experience!
Pros:

What a GREAT experience. The staff, from Austin in the Bar, Luis and Catalina at the front desk, the housekeeping staff and maintenance staff, everyone made me feel so at home. We stayed during a remodel, and I can't say enough good things. Clean, up to date facilities and start to finish, I highly recommend.

Insgesamt ist das Hotel gut, jedoch merkt man an einigen Stellen das Alter, was den Preis aus unserer Sicht etwas hoch e
Pros:

Besonders hervorzuheben ist das Frühstück: Neben dem Buffet konnte man auch à la carte bestellen, und das alles zum Inklusivpreis. Sehr angenehm. Auch der Poolbereich hat uns gut gefallen, und die Zimmer waren insgesamt schön und komfortabel.

Cons:

Weniger überzeugend waren die Flure, die mit alten Teppichen und deutlichen Gebrauchsspuren etwas in die Jahre gekommen wirken.

Typical stay, won't be back because of the A/C and parking cost and added $100 for Monday night stay
Pros:

Check in and out was quick. Room was spacious.

Cons:

Evne thought the A/C panel and FAN said "OFF" it kept coming on throughout the day and night. Also, the hotel is in a somewhat secluded non-busy area so $15 parking cost was unnecessary. See no need for an added $150 for Monday night stay. Total for 2 nights was Strange Sharpie black and red markings on the bathroom tissue roll. Housekeeping exchanged no problem but it was visible walking in so should have been tossed and replaced. Like the tissue sat in something red and black or was counted off. Overall not worth it for $677 for 2 nights; there are cheaper options with free parking and breakfast included.

4 stars or 5? I'll go 5!
Pros:

Lifetime Diamond member here. I had a one night stay here. I could've gone either 4 or 5 stars here, but I'll go with 5 stars for several reasons.
1. Quiet and spacious rooms. Spacious lobby as well.
2. "Can do" attitude of the staff. Hiltons have good staff, but this was above and beyond the call of duty from getting me a soup spoon to getting giving me extra intel on the stay and area.
3. I did not use the pool and sauna, but it sure looked like a spacious and relaxing area.
4. Their lobby music is big band/swing era stuff!
5. Breakfast is a complete breakfast. $19.95 is not bad for the buffet.

Some (minor) drawbacks.
1. The rooms are relatively far away from the check in area and the parking is not near the rooms either, although they are certainly walkable.
2. You will need a car if you want to eat outside of the hotel.

Work Trip Stay
Pros:

Front Desk was AMAZING! Friendly and inviting, they really made me feel welcome. Everything was clean, smelled lovely, and if I had more time, I would have enjoyed the fitness center or pool. Room was temperature controlled when I walked in, and I really appreciated that! Typically, you walk into a room and run to the thermostat to get air movement because it's stuffy and hot.

Cons:

I was disappointed that for a Hilton, the mattress felt so cheap. As this was a stay over for a work trip, I was very excited at the idea of crawling into a luxurious mattress. (The Best Western I typically stay at has a better mattress) I wish I had prioritized going to the fitness center rather than straight to bed. Also, the bathroom lighting needs to be serviced. You can't have an electric mirror in a Hilton and have half of each side burnt out.

Pros:

Anna is the staffer in the dining area and she always greets me with a smile. I've stayed here for years and she always remembers me. She's an all star!

Cons:

I left a day earlier than expected but didn't get a refund for the night I didn't stay and had already paid for.
