Hilton, You never fail to disappoint. Hidden fees like parking and extra room deposit? It's not a problem if I know about it before I drive 60 miles. Price gouging on valet? That's unfair leverage (immoral business). Its just not 4 start service. I can choose the rug that slips on the tile or the water on the floor. No problem I can use my towel and then not have one for my shower. I get it, you can't get adequate staff without attitudes. And hey, if I asks to see a manager they should not just hide in the back and give me a credit, its not about the money, its about the feedback- which I never got to give. They looked at me like I am an a-hole for giving them $500 a night and being treated like a homeless person. Great

Everything was clean except the bottom of the shower when we arrived. Gray color scheme of the room was very depressing. Staff very helpful. Pool access was confusing. A permanent sign on the wall at the doors says pool is open 6 am -11 pm. There were other signs saying 9 am - 10 pm. When I asked a staff member, he didn't even know the other sign was there. Restaurant food was good.

I found the staff to be incredibly kind and helpful! The grounds were clean, the food was good, and the service was amazing! For those with families, the hotel offered activities for children such as balloon art and face painting. Popsicles by the pool and freshly-baked cookies some evenings were another sweet gesture by the staff. My only disappointment was that they did not allow guests to bring insulated water bottles to the pool, although many guests did. I'm sure they had their reasons, but having your ice water in 100-degree temperatures makes for a better experience than having to refill tiny cups of melted water provided by the hotel.
