Spend more and get mire
No coffee maker in room, no microwave in room, no safe in room. Breakfast was very limited with bagels, some fruit and toasters. My advice, spend a little more and find a better place.

Disappointing
The hot tub was disappointing because jets had little power, and pool towels were tiny and thin. Breakfast was only bagels and cereal. Nothing plush, not worth the cost!

Put the coffee makers back in the rooms.
Ugh! I had a sty in my eye and could not make hot water in the room and they were out of hot water at the coffee station. The water coming out of the sink and shower were less than warm.

Not a lot of bang for your buck
It was noisy close to the road, you could hear everything. Rooms smaller side. It was over priced for what you are getting. Breakfast at a Hilton should include hot meals not yogurt & bagels.

Folgers Coffee Stinks
Folgers Coffee Stinks! And they took out the coffee maker in the rooms, so no ability to make a good instant (Starbucks) in your room.
Really hard to believe this is a Hilton!

Spark
The staff was super friendly and nice. The room was simple. The pillows were very thin and had an awful smell. Although the staff changed the pillows it was still smelly. Breakfast was very basic. It is essentially a bit upscale motel with a nice lobby.

Definitely didnt feel like a Hilton
They just had construction on their showers and are still having issues with them... I think if i am paying for a hotel, i shouldnt have to move rooms because my shower doesnt work especially after just being under construction. It was extremely disappointing and they just wanted to keep moving me rooms until it worked out. Thankfully i had a super nice women check me out that gave me a discount on my stay but i dont think i will be staying there again after all the stress of what was supposed to be a stress free night.

This is not HILTON standards.
I cannot believe this is a “Hilton” brand hotel. We were suppose to stay longer but cut it short as we were not impressed with the rooms at all. Very very dated and extremely small bathroom. Staff were super nice and helpful but for the price you are paying for this hotel you are not getting a deal at all for a Hilton
