Parking Scam

Their parking situation is a big scam! Just wanted to share my experience with the parking situation at Hilton. They don’t offer day parking, and every time you leave and return, they charge you $15. We went in and out four times in one day, so it added up quickly. When I mentioned this to the front desk, they were quite rude and said it was part of Hilton's new setup. Just a heads up if you’re considering staying there!

The parking is terrible. They charged for parking but we had to park on the street most of the time. The parking garage is very small and not made for any type of larger car. The rooms were not clean. There were several pieces of small candy on the floor from previous guests. The staff was not friendly and did not seem to care about any concerns from guests. The restaurant and bar were good with great service. The hotel needs some updating also. Will not stay there again.

Everything was great! The staff was super sweet, the hotel is adorable, and the bar was nice! I had a black currant old fashioned and it was delicious. We even got free drinks because we booked thru Expedia! It was close to everything you could want too!
