Excellent stay! Shuttled from the airport in a new van, with a really friendly driver. Room was spacious and clean. Staff was helpful and greeted me each morning. I am planning my next stay already.

Personal pet peeve of mine: when you have to get soaked to turn on the shower because they SCREWED THE DOOR SHUT on the side with the valve. Literally zero reason whatsoever to do this.
Also, the water never actually got hot so I had a very tepid shower because "there was nothing they could do because the maintenance guy went home" when I went to the front desk to mention the lack of hot water. (Not just me either -- there were multiple other people also complaining at the same time)
I'm giving a +1 star because the rest of the room was actually pretty nice if perhaps bland. However, I'm staying at a HILTON because I don't want to deal with cheap hotel issues. $250 a night after pet fee? Y'all better have a damn maintenance guy on-call 24/7. What's the point of spending money to upgrade my stay when it results in a problem I've never even had at cheap motels?
+ Good room layout
+ Modern aesthetic
+ Overall clean, updated look and feel
--- No hot water
-- "Nothing we can do"
- Expensive for no reason, apparently
- Shower door doesn't open so you get soaked in cold water turning it on
UPDATE, next morning:
As other reviews mentioned, the pillows are terrible.
Also, I see why they screwed the shower closed: the gap under the glass is so big that water splashes out of the shower onto the floor and is rusting/rotting the wall. See photo.
-1 star for a perfect 1 star :)
UPDATE 2:
Hilton actually reached out to my husband who made the reservation and the short story is that they apologized profusely for the issues and cut our bill in half. All in all a solid resolution, and I'm going to update my review AGAIN to three stars.
One last comment though: They'd originally charged us 2x (double billed) for the pet fee, which they corrected when they called us. I'd like it if the front desk staff would review other bills for correctness before charging residents 2x for pet fees.

This hotel exceeded all expectations. The staff is absolutely the most friendly staff of any hotel. I’ve stayed in recent history. And I travel for a living. Every single staff member I encountered was very friendly and warm and welcoming. There’s a bar a restaurant, a fire pit a little mini convenience store type Shop in the lobby. The gym is out of this world. I work out when I travel and it’s probably top five hotel gyms of all time. It’s a 20 minute walk to the outlet mall and lots of shopping. Walmart. Topgolf. Tons of bars and restaurants within walking distance. It’s also one of the closest hotels to the airport. I hope I get to stay here again.
