We enjoyed our stay and the size of the room, we enjoyed having a separate living space, a nice size wet bar area with microwave and fridge as well. The staff was very accommodating and Liz went out of her way for us. One thing we did not like and neither of us have ever encountered, was the $7.00 a day parking fee which should have been included in the hotel rate.

This was the most peaceful, most maintained, most wonderful Hilton or Hampton I've every stayed in. Though it wasn't fancy like some of the Curio hotels, it was actually a better experience. I will stay at this hotel every time I'm in the city from now on. The Mexican restaurant El Jalisco next door is very tasty and large proportions for reasonable prices.
