It’s unfortunate that this hotel that has the absolute best location seems to be going down hill. Stayed a few years ago and it was wonderful, this pastry was not the best. Way understaffed. The front desk has a line 24 hours a day so prepare yourself to wait. You will not be able to check in not even a minute before 4pm because the rooms won’t be ready because they have no staff. The pool area is super nice. The rooms not the cleanest and I had to call the front desk to get someone up to bring me towels. No point of cleaning a room at 6pm at night. Had some plumbing issues and other things. On a positive note , the manager on duty did move me to another room and was very nice about it. As much as I like staying here, I’ll be trying other places out. The hotel is very big and they just don’t have the staff to manage as many guests as they get. Shame on Hilton for not paying and getting employees that want to come to work.

As a whole the property was very nice but my room showed some age. There was a big chunk out of the wood paneling in the bathroom under the sink and the valley had some stains. As a whole, 5 stars is too high but only 4 stars is easy too low. The staff were super, especially Bailey
