Worse experience Ever!!

The firs at the hotel was going okay check in was fast, (7/3 was check in) we got settled and was exploring the hotel once we got ready to eat dinner we decided to eat on the property at Bistro well that wasn’t a good idea it was a roach crawling while we waited for our burgers I notified the server and she then notified the manager older African American Woman who did absolutely nothing at all ……. We left the restaurant and went to turn in for the room and once we got settled there was this horrible mold smell coming out of the bathroom my mother was with us her and my wife got a instant headache… I have a few pictures of the crack and molding… this was our first time staying at a Hilton hotel we will never stay again. It’s suppose to be a nice hotel however it wasn’t and for the price of two nights for a “Resort “ it was literally just a pool and hot tub nothing special that I seen or experienced

Great stay!

Staff was very friendly, respectful and welcoming. When we arrived there was a line for check in at the front desk as the system was running a bit slow, the staff was very apologetic and even after encountering very rude and unpleasant guest they stay respectful, friendly and welcoming with them and everyone. Anytime we asked a question or needed anything staff was very prompt. When we walked out/in for any reason we were greeted and or told to have a great time, goodnight/good morning etc. I would say when you check out make sure to get your final bill and review in person, i had an additional charge and had to call and took a while to get through. Although when i did Rueben was so helpful and helped get that charged reversed and if i had any questions or concerns i could call back. Eric was the valet and was amazing! And Mia was our waitress during breakfast and was so pleasant. I unfortunately can’t remember every staff members name but they’re all so kind, respectful and so welcoming! definitely coming back!

To begin the check in process took an hour because the internet was down. No problem because sometimes you can’t help some problems. But then I get to my room and my toilet isn’t working then I go to the pool and come back and the door won’t open with my door key. After 3 times of exchanging keys and having to walk to get new ones every time they finally send their engineering team to fix it. This makes me late for my dinner reservations. Luckily the restaurant was still willing to sit us. On top of that after a long night I would like to watch a movie or tv. That also doesn’t work. Along with the WiFi not working. Over all the whole experience wasn’t the best. Really disappointed by it all.
