Parking was terrible. I had to park so far away both nights. And the window lights in the parking lot. It’s very dangerous. But it’s a hotel. Guess I shouldn’t have to park so far away. I mentioned it to The Manager on duty and I received a blank stare. She then informed me that it had been fixed and now it’s broken. Not sure what that was supposed to do.

This Hilton gives Hilton a bad name.
Food and drinks are over priced for the quality. Service was very poor. Decor ran down. Furniture beat up. No grass for dogs, only weeds.
