The staff is exceptional at making their guests feel welcome and pampered. We spent our honeymoon here 29 years ago and have been back many times. This trip, the staff served us a charcuterie board and champagne in our room to celebrate. We love Hilton! Thank you! Tod Shannon Castle

Great stay!

Staff was very friendly, respectful and welcoming. When we arrived there was a line for check in at the front desk as the system was running a bit slow, the staff was very apologetic and even after encountering very rude and unpleasant guest they stay respectful, friendly and welcoming with them and everyone. Anytime we asked a question or needed anything staff was very prompt. When we walked out/in for any reason we were greeted and or told to have a great time, goodnight/good morning etc. I would say when you check out make sure to get your final bill and review in person, i had an additional charge and had to call and took a while to get through. Although when i did Rueben was so helpful and helped get that charged reversed and if i had any questions or concerns i could call back. Eric was the valet and was amazing! And Mia was our waitress during breakfast and was so pleasant. I unfortunately can’t remember every staff members name but they’re all so kind, respectful and so welcoming! definitely coming back!

To begin the check in process took an hour because the internet was down. No problem because sometimes you can’t help some problems. But then I get to my room and my toilet isn’t working then I go to the pool and come back and the door won’t open with my door key. After 3 times of exchanging keys and having to walk to get new ones every time they finally send their engineering team to fix it. This makes me late for my dinner reservations. Luckily the restaurant was still willing to sit us. On top of that after a long night I would like to watch a movie or tv. That also doesn’t work. Along with the WiFi not working. Over all the whole experience wasn’t the best. Really disappointed by it all.
