Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
The pool was not open, my kids were extremely disappointed.
The pool was down for maintenance and there was no cook for the in-house restaurant, which were two of the main reasons I picked this hotel for my stay. But parking was super convenient and the staff was very helpful in finding another restaurant.
My son and I stayed here for an event down the street. While the location was convenient and staff were friendly, check in took a lot longer than expected and our bathroom shower had a lot of black mold in it.
starting off the room is old and outdated. Shower curtain was old and torn badly and looked like something out of a dumpster. To top it off we went to go have breakfast this morning and were informed they were only serving the buffet for breakfast due to lack of food. after agreeing to get the buffet they ran out of food completley and half my family even got to eat ,but i was still charged for everyone.$90 dollars. and to make it even worse the staff was openingly fighting with onw another for over 30 minutes in front of everyone swearing at each other and yelling and slamming stuff around. i was extremely disappointed with this hotels professionalism and the way they talk to customers. we had over 10 rooms booked at this hotel as we were all there for my nieces wedding. I stay at hilton hotels 3/4 times weekly but never experienced a crap show like this

Liked: Cleanliness
Accommodations were fine. Poor service in restaurant.
There was no shower curtain. Ants were crawling all over the bathroom floor. The shower drain was completely clogged with massive amounts of hair and would not drain. The air conditioning did not work. The arm on the sofa sleeper was so worn that it had a sharp piece of exposed metal sticking out (it actually cut me). The bed linens on the sleeper sofa were dirty. When I went to the front desk to inform management of our issues, while the person was very nice, she told me there were no other rooms available for us. It was 10:00 pm on a Wednesday. We left and went to another hotel as our room was uninhabitable.

Disliked: Room comfort
Expected more, sadly disappointed.
We were quite disappointed with our stay here.
Rooms were pricy, but good size for the 2 of us. However, it was a big disappointment that
basic internet was not free, only free for membership level. Water in the room is a tease with a fee sticker. We were surprised to find there were no adaptions in the room for USB phone chargers. We checked the lamps, wall, alarm clock- no way to charge devices without a wall plug in. The bathroom sink was disconnected from the wall on both sides. Breakfast was pricey for powdered eggs, there is nothing advertising it until a staff member tells you. Very confusing. And most surprising, the AC was not working in our room until we notified the desk (as was the same for several other rooms in our traveling group). Thankfully they made a fix and our room was much more comfortable day 2. The lobby was fine-quiet- and the bar area was nice. Though our group waited quite awhile for their food.
Staff is friendly and helpful. Room was comfy and quiet even though we were right next to the elevator. We never heard it. Location is convenient and parking is reasonable. Not a luxurious 5 star stay but certainly adequate for our weekend. Visit Dinosaur BBQ ( within walking distance) for a great casual meal
I was first one on the line . But last one check it. They say offer my free breakfast but they never did . I don ’t care about breakfast anyway ,just Since you said it and didn't do it, just did it perfunctorily.

The room was well put together breakfast was very good and
Everything was an extra, even the fitness center. There was only 1 trash can in the room. The cleaning service didn't make the bed, I had to leave a tip to get coffee refills. There was no shower curtain. I expect better from a Hilton
Nice, clean room and well-maintained property. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The restaurant, Drifters, is also a solid choice if you are in the mood for a chill dinner instead of going out.
