This hotel is definitely overrated for the stars/reviews it has. From the beginning until the end nothing really went right, definitely one of the worst hotel experiences i’ve had. It was semi updated but not kept clean whatsoever. First room we were given had something red on the top sheet, was also on the comforter. Second room was alright, only had one towel. Didn’t realize until after we needed another. Body wash container was empty, and toilet plugged up then overfilled with barely anything in it. Breakfast was fine. People were complaining about the pool being freezing when i got there, said it was supposed to be heated (not sure how true this is.) Would probably pick another hotel next time

This is a newer property so it's not run down, it's just not clean. Moldy shower and shower curtains, bathroom floor not cleaned thoroughly (hair on the floor), room not vacuumed in some time. Peloton in workout room seemed to be newish but missing a pedal. Overall stay was adequate, we were only there a matter of hours thankfully but we were surprised how dirty it was.

Worst stay ever.

It was the worst stay I think I have ever had. It took twenty minutes to check in, geanted the attendant at the front desk did say one of the housekeepers was hit by a car, so she was cleaning rooms on the first floor. On our last night, December 30th. We were in the lobby, watching the 49ers/Lions game and the attendant came over and made a bed on the couch and turned the lights off and turned the TV to what she wanted to watch. Our room was dirty and smelled bad. This was way over priced for $150 a night.

The room was dirty as well as the carpets and areas throughout the hotel. The staff was ok but there was no one at the desk during our stay with the exception of check in. The area around the hotel was unkept. Overall a very disappointing Hilton hotel.

The room was comfortable and clean. But we could not access the cable TV (neither could the staff when we called for assistance). And the bottles of soap and shampoo in the shower were empty. Otherwise, the room was fine.

Was hardly anyone at the desk. Had to wait 10min for someone to come to the desk to check us in. And that wouldn’t have happened if the maintenance guy didn’t go back and get them. We sat in the lobby most of the night hanging out and several people had to wait for someone to come to the desk. Hotel was cleanish and looked updated but was done poorly. Had to change rooms because of stains on the comforter. Spider web in the corner of the bathroom with dead bugs in it. Not Hilton standard
