It took 7 attempts to call the front desk. The system cut me off each time. The Trash can at front door was overflowing.
Bathroom was very small and the tub tile grout was moldy.
Booking staff ignored my Hilton honors profile room request.
It was a large hotel with a tiny indoor pool that was overcrowded. Mattress was broken down in center. Certainly not what you would expect of a Hilton property.

I hate giving only 4 stars because it's set in a very beautiful area. I will make a point to stay here every time I visit. There's nothing special about it other than the feeling of the hotel and the beauty surrounding it. It feels very upscale but not pretentious. The staff were nothing special. I tried to use digital means to contact them and even called down several times and no one answered. The guy at the front desk was nice enough but just doing his job, he tried to be pleasant. The restaurant has potential to be amazing but the food was not that good, the bartender was overworked and it was obvious and the breakfast in the morning was buffet for $18. The kind of buffet you get at the Hampton for free, waffles, fruit, and some hot eggs and meat. It was very overpriced. Also the walls between the rooms are super thin. You could hear everything between the walls and outside the room. Overall a very peaceful setting I would come to many times over, but it's flawed. I might be checking out early just because the staff is unresponsive.
