Hotel and room were clean, staff was very friendly, breakfast was good, and I loved that they had things like tea and cocoa available instead of just coffee. As a non-coffee drinker I get frustrated when they only have coffee.

So clean

I don’t think I’ve ever stayed in a cleaner hotel - the two rooms we had were spotless. The rooms were comfortable and the shower was amazing. Breakfast had lots of great options and the staff were very friendly. Would definitely stay again if in the area.

Angela

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The original room had musty shower curtain, several outlets that didn’t work, a leaking bathroom faucet, and uncontrollable air conditioning. Second room had a few working out let’s but the air conditioning was still uncontrollable. When mentioned to staff, they said it was due to the heat wave. My account was gone into and charged during my stay for amounts that made no sense. It needs to made clear to customers that after your stay reaches a certain amount, your account is charged mid-stay. I was also told that upon leaving, my account would be charged. It was reimbursed, but when checking my account, which I do almost daily, it looked like I was being hacked by Hilton. It took four days and a call to corporate customer service to be able to speak with the manager. Once he got the call from corporate, he was then “available”to call me. We worked out a reimbursement only after I refused the offer of Hilton honors points. Not a good performance by anyone!

Everything was pretty good. We requested adjoining rooms. When we arrived they said they could give them to us but we would have to wait 2 hours. After waiting we went to rooms only to find out they were next to each other but not adjoining. Not the worst thing but a bit annoying. Not sure what's wrong but we did have trouble with the key working as well. But all in all not a bad place.
