I didn't get a welcome greeting or offered room service. However, I was surprised by daily parking fee. Don't waste your time & don't keep fancy items displayed. My wife's dress was stolen from the bathroom. It was a Rare and hand made Red dress from Mexico.

The beds were comftarble how ever the room smell really bad and we had to deal with a damage bathroom door . Room service was interesting . As I was taking the kids to the pool the front desk lady and the person taking the food were making uncomfortable comments about the guest receiving the room service . Little did they know that the room service was for my husband and my kids . I normally don’t make comments but these individuals almost took our drinks and food among them. They made commemts about how much it was spent in room service and making assumptions about the payments . The room service had already being charged on my card and we were probably profile for our color . Very poor service .

One of the reasons for booking this location was due to the site saying breakfast was included. When we had breakfast it was $22 per person(5) and they told me it wasnt included. Hotel did nothing to try and fix the situation they simply said contact Expedia

Not worth the price. Party hotel.
We stayed for 3x nights for work / an event I had to attend nearby. The rooms were OK. It was a good size for the king suite, however I don't think it was worth the price. All in, I paid over $300/night. Our tooms had a lingering smell of cigarettes and even some burns on the carpet. The water pressure was horrible and a terrible smell came up from the pipes occasionally. We had new neighbors nightly that were up yelling, cursing & partying. It was awful. I complained to the front desk after the first night of lost sleep, who told me that they were checking out so it would be better. Unfortunately, more rowdy guests arrived and the problem repeated itself. Staff were all friendly but overall our experience was sadly mediocre. I won't stay here again.

It was very difficult getting in and out of the parking garage. Loading and unloading blocked access to other passengers. My wife and I had issues with sewer gas smell on the upper floor during peak water usage. The staff did the best they could with what they had to work with. Hotel needs major renovations.

Friendly staff, clean, and they charge for parkin.
For being part of the Hilton family you really feel nickeled and dimes here. For starters they charge for parking in an area where there is only hotel parking. Another example is that they charge $3 for a bottle of Kirkland water. These can be obtained for as low as $0.22 per bottle.
