Took 30 minutes to check in then they charge $50 fee in case I use the restaurant or bar. I told him I was not going to use either one, but they still said I had to leave a $50 fee. I do not think this is legal. What if I want to pay cash for the bar or restaurant this was a terrible experience and I will never be back

Hilton Help

The hotel is in a beautiful location and well-kept. The front desk woman (check in was 7pm 4/1) was on her phone, seemed irritated someone was checking in. She took the payment but didn't offer any info on the hotel (amenities, breakfast options, etc.) We booked two rooms for two nights. On the second night an extremely loud and inebriated group took over the lobby and hallways after 10:30pm. Kids running, screaming, adults yelling as well. The front desk woman (same person) seemed nonchalant and unaware of how to handle the situation. Numerous guests were bothered. Probably won't come back. On a more positive note, the general manager was pleasant and helpful (he just wasn't there when the noisy guests were taking over the lobby and hallways).
