Breakfast is not good enough for $18 per person & of course the price is not posted.
It’s complementary at other Hiltons

They double charged me and the company I work for the same transaction. I guess i need to resolve this with my bank.
I have yet to get a response back.

Currently staying at the hotel and rooms are okay same like most Hilton. Staff is nice but I am truly upset with the fact that staff lie about a room not be available when I select the room itself and then told me that the room was under construction but then Tuesday I hear very very loud footsteps above me which is the wrong they stated would not be occupied while I am here. I only pick that room because it is at the top floor and I also do not like someone above me as I am a light sleeper and now I hear loud footsteps all night long.

Rob and Ladonna are LIFESAVERS. After another nearby hotel messed up our reservation, we found ourselves with no rooms For our family of six. Rob and Ladonna worked very hard to get us perfect set of rooms. They went above and beyond and I'm very grateful for them and for this hotel! 5 out of 5, would stay here again! (Also, rooms are modern and clean and prices are great!)
