A few little issues

Great location, clean, and good breakfast. The service was a little slow this time, also rooming missing soaps, and a curtain was hanging down. All in all pretty good!

The only thing I did not like was housekeeping was every other day like really 3 people and 4 towels. I don’t use the same towel twice. The second thing was the breakfast a 1/2 egg and dry sausage links this is not Hilton expectations surely. It was more like a econo lodge quality we are totally disappointed.
