It was easy to check in and the hotel was very nice and clean. I loved the two bedroom room I selected for our family trip.

The front desk staff was really rude at check in - got my first and last name mixed up and she kept arguing with me that we have come to a wrong location. Next, didn’t offer water despite telling that we are Hilton honors member. Our toilet wasn’t working and they had to call engineer at 11:30 at night- they refused to move us to a new room. Hilton’s standards are going down the drain and this hotel was horrible.

Room was ok. Dirty grout lines in shower. Bathroom had a slow drain, so bad, I didnt want to use the sink. Front desk staff member talked fast, hard to understand him, and I felt his manerism was off putting.
