This is basically a Motel 6 with a Hilton badge on it. The hallway carpets were dirty and stained. The room didn’t have a coffee maker or microwave. The shower didn’t have enough water pressure. The breakfast was a joke. It was basically just bagels.

We spent one night here and had a comfortable stay. The room was spacious and we were even able to bring in our bikes. When I asked the front desk if the area was safe enough to leave our bikes on our car she recommended we bring them in and even offered to put them in their storage room if we didnt want to keep them in our room. The complimentary breakfast, had no hot food, besides bagels you can toast other than that just cold hard boiled eggs and cereal, they did have instant oatmeal. If you picked this hotel because of the pool, cancel your reservation because it no longer exists and they should update their pictures online.

I think the only downside of the hotel was that it seemed like the windows are not very thick so you can hear every single car passing on the highway all night long.
