Everything you would expect from a Hilton property! Clean, comfy, and modernized rooms! The staff is extremely friendly, Su was very helpful and joyful! This hotel is undergoing renovations and it shows! The lobby areas are absolutely beautiful, plenty of seating and outlets for charging devices. The bar/restaurant looked very elegant. The location is great, next to the highway (barely hear any noise), and near several restaurants, shops, and entertainment venues.
