Bring a Pillow

Very nice hotel; our stay was excellent. The hotel is in great condition... still has that new car smell. You will have a great stay unless... The bar was virtually non-existent. No bartender was on hand, I guess... and it's a wine and beer bar. The bed was rock hard. This is subjective to preference, and can be positive for some people. Not so much for us. The pillows... absolute jellyfish. No form, no shape; impossible to fluff up. Bring your own pillow. We didn't have the breakfast buffet. They have a points program that they kind of push at you. I didn't choose to opt in. If you don't want to opt in, watch how you sign in to the free wifi. Use the promotional code option.

13 hour hotel stay.

We were there for an overnight stay as part of a road trip down the California Coast. Although we were only there around 13 hours we had a good night’s rest. It was easy check in and the shower pressure was strong which I like. Went to the gym in the morning and had a good workout with all their stuff. Also went back to the room and did a stretch using the Peloton app from the tv (free). There was a fried poop stain on the carpet and it smelled like pee if you were on the floor. Otherwise couldn’t smell anything. Overall had a great experience in such a short time.

Staff was very friendly. Beds need to be replaced. They were not comfortable. Mattress protector on 1 bed had what looked like blood. Seems like they don't check them very well as it was pretty noticeable.

We had a wonderful stay this weekend we loved the renovation that has been done. Our room was beautiful & big. I accidentally left 2 very expensive hair tools behind & was pleasantly surprised that the hotel staff called me to inform me that housekeeping had turned them in. Thank you so much for your Honesty and keeping my items safe !! We will for sure stay again can’t wait for the next visit. Thank you Hilton and it definitely is an honor to be a member & guest!

It was a nice property. Some of the features were a little bit outdated. The hallway and the entranceway smelled old, but other than that, the room was really nice. It was clean.
