Not the best area not the best views but the breakfast is pretty good and the rooms do the job. This picture is of the bat of their proeprty. Not really their responsibility to clean but it sure is dirty.

Service was fantastic, no issues, the issue is that the hotel itself is old. Rooms smells like your grandma's closet, couldn't get the smell out. I had the sliding glass door and window open, still stank after I got back from dinner.

Makra made my family and I feel at home on day one through the end of our stay. She is a great listener, intuitive and attentive. Maria deserves a shout out for responding quickly to my inquiries. Thank you both.

The room is not a depiction of the pictures on the website. Room smells like smoke. Furniture is run down. This is not the standard of a Hilton Hotel I'm accustomed to.
Also customer service was horrible. Employees kept stepping away from the desk when we had trouble checking into my room. Had to wait an hour for a Pre-Authorization form from my job, that they received 5 days prior. Not satisfied at all with my stay.
