Me and a friend stayed 2 nights the first thing we liked was the hotel is close to highway and front desk was helpful and nice! The downside about the stay is the elevator was scary when it gets ready to go up it has a hard lift off we had to hold on to the real to brace ourselves and the room door wasn’t closed all the way we had to push once we entered the room and pull when exiting the room to make sure door was closed , and also the bathroom door was hard to close and hard to open the toilet and shower had rust or something dark brown in it and yes I have pictures of the bathroom. But the bed and pillows were very comfy.

I did not like that we were on the 5th floor with a family that was staying for a family reunion. We were not a part of that group, but I think that they thought we were. There were a lot of fuss in the hallway, and also, we did not have access to clean towels. We were advised that the house keeping person that service our rooms did not work on weekends. So, we found someone else housekeeper and that how we got clean towels. Also, that group was at the pool was LOUD! Playing music and talking and singing until 10:00 that Saturday night. When we got there to check in, they told us we needed to pay a $50 service fee that will be refundable. As of today, that has not been done. Please advise me when and how long this will take. Thank you

This property looked NOTHING like the pictures on Expedia. The rooms were not clean the carpet and furniture was disgusting as was the shower/tub. Our duvet had black stuff all over it (not stains but hadn't been cleaned since who knows when). The toilet was clogged the entire time so we had to go to the lobby to use the bathroom. Also, they're apparently under construction which we knew nothing about until being violently awoken at 7 am when the hammering and screwing started which continued for both days of our stay. Checkout wasn't until noon which would've been great under any other circumstances but we honestly couldn’t wait to get out of there. This hotel needs a major deep cleaning and upgrade. We won’t ever be staying there again! Definitely not even close to Hilton standards.

CONSTRUCTIONS on a SUNDAY at 8am

The Hotel was fine however they decided to have CONSTRUCTIONS going on in the hotel ON S SUNDAY which started at 8am!!!! The constant banging made it impossible for my husband and kids to sleep!! We were vacationing and got back to the hotel late with the expectation of sleeping in late Sunday!!!! Sadly we did not get to do so as the constructions were going on and when I called the front desk to request to stop this! I was told there was nothing she could do! It would be going on from 8am to 6pm and I didn’t like it, I could call the manager on Monday to complaint!!! Complete lack of empathy! Didn’t even try to find a solution! I even took recordings to prove it as it was the most ridiculous thing I had ever encountered yet at a Hilton!!

My stay at the hotel was for three days. When we arrived, the front desk was very friendly. When I entered the room, I noticed the smell. Quite unpleasant, but due to the excitement of my trip with my daughter, I didn't put attention to it. The fact was that the musty smell was unbearable, so we had to buy air fresheners to be able to stay there. The carpet was also like wet You couldn't walk barefoot, and if you hung your swimsuits up, they wouldn't dry, not even for three days. When I left and arrived at the next hotel and saw the difference, I truly questioned myself and regretted having been so uncomfortable with the bad smell. For those three days, I definitely wouldn't return.
