Business trip

I frequently stay here for work and have been very satisfied but this visit they put me in a room that was ok. Mattress needs replaced and bathroom floor wasn’t cleaned. Also carpet going into bathroom is ripped and it hurts when stepping on it. Staff is always friendly and also gracious on giving a late checkout. I will continue staying there.

Terrible experience with greeting at this Hotel. We arrived at the property and no one was at the front desk. We waited with 2 other guest one was also checking in and the other one had a question. We waited, I tried calling the hotel with no answer in the phone or 800 number. Another guest knocked in the office next to the lobby. When she finally came back her name is Maria she was unprofessional. I did mentioned we had been waiting and her reply was not professional. Then we were given room#324 near the to laundry room, some kind of noise can be heard makes it hard to sleep. We dont recommend that room. The hotel is a Hilton, clean comfortable so you expect staff to be up to the value of the hotel. The property is great, sadly the staff was not.

Lovely clean property. Nice pool. Good gym. Extremely comfortable beds with great pillow choices. Friendly staff. Free parking. Near plenty of shopping. Not super walkable to anything but close by car. Did not eat the buffet so can’t comment on food. They do not have a day option restaurant on site only breakfast.
