Very disappointing

Review for Hilton Very disappointing! We had 2 rooms. Parking $65/day (guess it’s the going price but still) Pool freezing, no jacuzzi(plenty of room for one or two) Breakfast for a family cost as much as the room. It is very costly to stay here. Our room was freezing cold, we called twice to complain, thermostat-we changed from 72-74-76-78 then turned off but it kept turning back on. We were told by their engineers there was nothing they could do. Our 2nd room was too hot, the thermostat made no difference but it was tolerable. The freezing room was not tolerable whenever it came back on. In all we were not happy. No stars. Thumbs down.
