It was nice that everything was so new and kept up. However, the pool was fairly chilly and my friend and I lost a great deal of sleep due to someone in the room above us walking/moving things around from 1230 am until after 4am. This was inconvenient as we were taking our nursing boards early in the morning today.

The mattress in this new hotel made not only my back hurt, but also my 16 year old’s! We tried to buy Advil at the desk and they were already out of stock. The heater in our room made a clanging noise intermittently. The side table between the beds had a sticky substance on it. The breakfast selection was not a typical Hilton spread-green bananas, stale bagels. One of the 2 elevators in the large dual-hotel was broken. Overall, the stay was a disappointment, especially considering we specifically chose this hotel for the “teen” amenities.
