My only wish is that the slider door had more than a regular lock since the door opened on the outside of the building not on the inside where a wood block could stop the door from opening. Juice machine was out of order. Maybe bring in a couple of bottles of juice since cups are already there. Great location and very clean!

The bedrooms and bathrooms are very clean, making you feel right at home. However, the AC in my room was too close to the bed, which was annoying. I finally turned it off; it was better to sleep in a warm room in the middle of summer than to have an AC blowing on me from just two feet away.

- The property is next to a cemetery -the customers are playing cornhole 11 PM right outside the room, I called the front desk and ask about quiet hours she said that THERE IS NONE? I think they played until 1am -I complain about the door, not closing smoothly and the manager said she sent the maintenance guy to check. The door is fine! Clearly the place has been nearly painted and the door was over painted and they wouldn’t close smoothly that’s not the problem. The problem is how they say it’s fine.?! -For $200 a night and there is no pool -There is no coffee maker in the room either - they leave clean towel after cleaning on the toilet?

This "remodeled" hotel is UNSUITABLE for anyone spending more that a day. The amenities, service & rooms are the worst I have seen. Rooms are smaller than represented, and don't have a single chest or drawer in which to conveniently and confidentially store clothing, belongings and and valuables! Rooms have 2 small open book shelves upon which to store anything. I asked staff for hangers in our King Room so we could hang up clothing (only 5 hangers for 2 people), but the desk clerk said he couldn't get any and would ask someone to find more on the 2d DAY of our stay. Hilton has upgraded a 6x9' bathroom, but PUT NO SHELVES OR CABINETS IN for storing toiletries and cosmetics --- all you get is the top of a toilet tank for "storage!" Rooms have nice TVs, mattresses & wall lighting but not enough space to walk through with a suitcase. The information Hilton provided to hotels.com is FALSE. They claim to have a safe in the room, but the staff say they have NO ROOMS with safes. They claim to have a coffeemaker in the rooms. The staff says NO ROOMS have coffeemakers. no microwaves either. To make matters worse, the "24 hour coffee" in the lobby isn't often warm or drinkable. In 2 of the 3 days we stayed there, the coffee was either full of grounds or so light that it looked like tea. The young, casually dressed kids who run the front desk don't seem to care. They wouldn't even go look for a dolly to help us get suitcases to the 2d floor bec GUESTS left them "somewhere!"
