I want to say that I rarely do survey. But I am very happy to do this one. First the hotel was beautifully decorated for Halloween. From the moment I arrived, Matthew (supervisor) was incredibly courteous and welcoming. He made my check-in process so smooth and easy, even if I was early. I have to say that everyone I interacted with, were top-notch. Brand new hotel and if not, it felt like. My room was spotless. The breakfast was great. The staff and chef came out of the kitchen to welcome me. Overall excellent experience from my check-in to check-out.

Deeply Disappointed — Not the Hilton Standard We’ve Come to Expect We’re loyal Hilton Silver Members and often stay at Homewood Suites when traveling with our grandchildren, but this location was very disappointing. The front desk staff were on their phones and talking to each other, ignoring guests. We had called several times about early check-in and never received a call back. When we arrived around 3 PM, we were told only, “Check-in is at four,” with no effort to help or show hospitality. The breakfast was overcrowded, poorly maintained, and unsanitary. Food options were minimal, especially for those with dietary restrictions. The coffee and hot water were cold, the cold lemon water was empty, and thetrash bins were overflowing right by the front desk. The room itself was clean and comfortable, and one manager did try to help, but overall service and staff attitude were unacceptable for a Hilton property. This location needs serious retraining and better management.

After reading about elevator issues at this property, I booked a room on the second floor across from a fire exit which leads right to my vehicle downstairs. Room key works in opening the fire exit door so I was able to go in and out from the stairs right across my room straight down to my car - couldn’t be more convenient. Staff were great checking in and out, and I ordered an Amazon package which the front desk held for me. One of the smoothest and best stays I had anywhere!
