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!

Clean & Fresh without added fragrances

I was able to check in early, which was convenient. The room and facility are very clean, with little fragrance, except for supplied toiletries. Towels have no fragrant odors, which implies that laundering is done with fragrance-free detergents. This is significant to those with allergies. It would be helpful if the tp was 2-ply, as single ply tears too easily while accessing it. Wi-fi was easy to set up and use. A very enjoyable stay.

Excellent stay.

I had a great stay here. I really liked the clean, modern aesthetic of the hotel. My room was VERY spacious, light and airy, with a little peek a boo ocean view. The layout of the room was great, and the extra details in the closet were a plus. I had some online work to tend to while I was there, and appreciated the consistent, strong internet. The TV channel line up was great, too-stuff you'd actually want to watch, (and a Netflix link if you have a subscription.)The staff are very friendly and helpful. I'd absolutely stay here again.
