Very disappointing for a Hilton. Our shower was rusted all over, the carpet was dirty and was coming up off the ground, the shower faucet kept dripping, and the sink leaked all over the counter. We decided to check out the pool outside, which was fine, except there were no towels outside and the water was frigid. The hot tub would have been great but of course it was out of order. They were doing construction in the lobby 24/7 when they should have been fixing the rooms. For the price we paid, this was a huge disappointment.

The hotel was under renovation which was not brought to my attention prior to booking Hot tub was broken another thing not brought to my attention prior to booking and I booked it based on the hot tub others similar didn’t have one. Breakfast not free which I did know but their 16.95 for buffet was garbage selection and the menu was limited but eating in the lobby with construction work going on wasn’t really nice so we chose not eat there Overall would not stay there again

It was just high priced for the lack of updates. Food was good and drinks were ok but it is not a bar restaurant style, it’s a cafeteria with a table for a bar. Also jacuzzi worked but didn’t heat up. Wasn’t terrible wasn’t great but have found better for less

Breakfast buffet on 10/12...everything was cold: eggs, sausage, gravy. Understaffed with just one sweet lady serving. No hot coffee twice. The hot tub was not heating...no sign. The people who work here were very nice. We had problems with our room shower...did not work in 402.and it was remedied and great service recovery.

The rest of the party that had another room reserved showed to be told that the hotel had overbooked and they lost their room. But my family still had our reservation the next day, and the desk agent did what they could to make it up to us, but the agent my other party had the previous night did not, and they had to stay elsewhere. For our stay, the room was nice, but not clean or updated. The carpet in the room was sticky, the body wash was out, the ac woke me up at 4am with a high pitched screeching which I have a video of. The breakfast buffet was comped, but was the grossest hotel breakfast I’ve had. Tasted old and almost rotten, including the orange juice. It was a little annoying having the get a waitress for everything instead of being able to help ourselves like a normal hotel breakfast. Since we weren’t aware it was table service, we did not bring down our wallets for a tip. Our other party left their own review about their experience, even though they weren’t able to stay. I know this hotel is starting a remodel, which is definitely needed

Perfectly adequate

Our experience was fine. Nothing extraordinary, but nothing terrible. The hotel seemed to have seen better days, showing wear and tear, but in their defense... it did look like they were about to begin a construction project. So hopefully, it's an awesome renovation. The front desk crew was helpful and friendly. The dog area was nice, the pool was nice. The furniture and hotel overall were pretty well-worn, but our room was clean and we had no issues upon checkin or checkout. Location is good, great coffee nearby.
