Everything was great except for the parking garage spaces were super tight as well as going up and down in the parking garage really tight corners if you have a large SUV or truck it’s gonna be extremely hard turning those corners or even parking in the parking garage.

We had reserved and paid online, but we didn’t realize we needed to verify our card through an email. If you don’t complete that step, your stay could be canceled—so make sure to watch for that email. Thankfully, the assistant manager was there and able to help us. Unfortunately, our room wasn’t very clean. We found candy wrappers on the floor, hair on the restroom wall, and trash under the beds.

The shower had rust around the edges of the tube, the carpet was stained and looked dirty. Above the sink on the ceiling there were black dirt, they didn’t provide enough towels for me and my family. Also our toilet paper wqs at half roll and didn’t leave any extras in the room. It was very weird.

5 stars

5 Stars – Always a Wonderful Stay I’ve been a loyal Hilton guest for years, and I truly can’t say enough about the consistently wonderful experiences I’ve had. Hilton is the only hotel I book—it's become our go-to place because of the safe surroundings, exceptional customer service, and overall welcoming environment. Every stay feels like a treat. The staff is always friendly, professional, and willing to go the extra mile to make sure everything is perfect. It’s clear they take pride in what they do, and it shows in the cleanliness, comfort, and care you experience from check-in to check-out. While I do wish the rates were a little more budget-friendly at times (especially as a frequent guest), the value, comfort, and peace of mind I get each time make it worth it. Hilton has become a place where we feel at home, and we always look forward to returning. Thank you for the continued excellence!

Very convenient to the surrounding areas. Nice facility. They only thing I would change is the particular room I was in had older carpet and I personally think replacing it with a hard wood or other easier to clean surface would be even better. Maybe a throw rug that can easily be replaced?

For our family vacation it was the worst part.

It was honestly nothing we were expecting in all factors and had so many issues with the rooms to not having towels from the tub clogging up and no blankets on the beds when we returned

The room was ok, but the bathrooms are old, parking lot elevators needs to be serviced and overall appearance of the hotel needs to be updated. Everything looks dated not up to double tree standards. It felt more like a confort inn / motel 6 than a double tree. Really disappointed with this location

It was ok. Staff was nice. Our shower didn’t drain quick so taking a shower after someone else, you had to step in their dirty bath water lol parking is terrible. Parking elevator is terrible. Black mold was on a few pillows. Pool is “heated” but still cold. The snack area is insanely expensive. $4 or $5 for a can soda. Wild lol tons of people smoking weed everywhere but hey it’s Cali. Expected more from this place.
