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.

The overall hotel was great. The air conditioner in the halls was horrible. It was so hot in the hall and elevator. That’s not a good experience. Also they limit tye control you have on air conditioning in the room. I’m in the a/c business. Those units run on a higher speed but hotels limit that. It’s also to small of a unit for the size room we had.

Better than expected

Super helpful and friendly staff! The hotel and grounds were immaculate. A little off the beaten path, which made the stay very quiet.
