Dirty room and smelly. Shower had mold, towels were yellow and bed smelled and pillows/linens looked used. At breakfast the containers for the cream cheese were nearly empty (as were others) and they was yellow/dirty on the bottom. I looked and others were white. So gross. Would NOT recommend. I thought the Hilton brand would guarantee a minimum standard, but I was mistaken. Very disappointed.

Our room was full of black mold and we were not offered compensation yet just $25. We are going to call the health department. I was not feeling well and very nauseous. We showed the staff photos. Not sure what will happen. I picked a hilton property bc they are suppose to be the best of the best. The mold was just one issue that we found in the room. We have many photos and Video. We are very dissatisfied.

The parking is not clearly marked. Us and 5 other guests were towed! Not a great way to start the day… The staff didn’t seem to care or advocate for us, costing us all a lot of money and inconvienence. Clearly there is a relationship with the hotel staff and the towing company. Do not stay here!

The room was barely passable except: outlet far away from sink mirror did not work. Only one light switch. Lamp on the desk inoperable. Tile broken on shower floor. Shower gel pump bottle empty. No shower curtain so bathroom floor got completely flooded. I know only clean every other day but the housekeeper said she would empty the trash and never did. Should get one free bottle of water, how cheap. The blanket was dingy .
