The room was small but clean and the front staff was courteous. We were very disappointed with the hot tub and pool area. Not well kept and the hot tub was a complete filthy mess. The first day we were there the jets were not working properly, the water looked dirty and it was making a horrible sound. The last 2 days it was out of order.

There was lots of dust on top of the refrigerator and the room was a bit dry, expected for this time of year. Otherwise, the service was amazing, people were super friendly and the room was beautiful. We definitely would go back again.

Do NOT stay here if you are traveling with a pet. Hit with a $75 fee for room cleaning upon check-in,which is higher than any other hotel I’ve ever stayed in with my dog. I was told that this is the Hilton standard fee for pets staying at their properties. $25-50 is more typical. $75 is extortion/profit. Also, the hotel is surrounded by chain-link fence and construction, making it creepy.

Everyone was super friendly and the room was great! One disappointment was that there were issues with the hot tub near the pool. When I do go away, which isn't often, I search for a hotel with hot tub/pool. The hot tub was closed when we arrived due to heat levels. We were able to use it briefly later on, although still very hot. I wanted to use it in the morning, it was scalding and definitely not usable. I have been to this hotel before and it wasn't a problem then, I'm hoping in the future to try again:(. Thank you.
