The whole place was very clean, and the breakfast was great! Didn’t get a chance to check out the pool. Definitely will come back!

Very efficient and friendly staff. Hotel room was very clean and comfortable. Well maintained grounds. Parking was easy and hotel was in a good location for walking shopping and dining. Unfortunately, this time, the food and coffe at the hotel's inclusive breakfast was not that great. This was the third time I've stayed in a suite at this hotel. Overall experience was very good.

Disliked: Cleanliness
A few things were not great. Upon booking I requested a first floor room because we travel with 16ft poles since my son is a pole vaulter. I called that morning and talked with a customer service rep who contacted the hotel and while they could 100% guarantee it they would try. Upon arrival they didn’t even have first floor room. Secondly the pull out bed had no linen and when we opened it up there were old food particles and other particles of something gross. We had to ask multiple times for any towels for the room. They also charged my card twice! For paying nearly $500 for one night I don’t feel like I was asking too much. Also the water pressure was very low. The one highlight was the valet service for the Hilton next door(I accidentally tried to check in there) was amazing. They let me keep my car with them even though we were staying at the lower end Hilton. And the next morning they remembered what building we were at and brought up our car within 5 minutes!

Missed the Mark

Staff was courteous. Great location. Restaurants nearby. We were disappointed with breakfast. Food that should have been hot was cold. Food that should have been cold was warm. Fruit was not fresh. Food was not replenished as often as it should have been. Maintenance should have taken place, in our room, prior to our arrival. The toilet tissue holder was loose, the commode was not stable. The sleeper sofa in the room smelled like urine. Parking was too far away from the hotel and there was a cost to park. We were lucky enough to find an opening to park on the street. It was quite a distance to walk to the hotel. This stay missed the mark for us. Management maintenance, and housekeeping can do better than what is being offered. It's a great location, and a great hotel. It just needs a lot of TLC.

The hotel was just okay. Pros: The Stuido was spacious, the linens were clean, the mattress was soft, the kitchen area was good for stove top cooking . Cons: The room smelled a little musty, the couch looked like it needed to be shampooed, there was no real lighting in the room (no overhead lights or lamps) Stay if the price is right. If it’s more than you budget go with a different option .
