Our check in experience was a disaster. We had stopped by early in the morning to drop off luggage before we went to the zoo, and they said our rooms weren't ready yet but would be likely around noon or 1pm as people checked out. We said no problem since we were heading out, and the rest of our party showed up around 1:30pm and was told the rooms were still not ready but would be next to clean. We showed back up around 3pm and the rooms were still not ready but they continued to tell us we would be next so we just waited. Finally around 4:25pm after checking with them 3-4 times they finally gave us the keys to the rooms but didn't tell us who was in each room (and we didn't think to ask since we were traveling with young kids who were bored and exhausted). During the stay we charged items like parking or meals to the rooms, only to find out at check out that it was flipped and then spent half hour trying to fix the room charges (although the person checking out was far more knowledgeable and competent than the person checking in and apologized for the issues). During the stay at no point did they ever service the rooms, so we had to keep finding carts to ask for things like towels, cups, or toilet paper. I know they were at capacity but they definitely do not have staffing to accommodate. Their parking was a total disaster too, to get the car every day the valet line was kid blocked with cars and took forever to get in and out. Definitely stressful experience.

My husband and I arrived late at night and someone at the front greeted us immediately. We were given our room but it wasn’t the one we ordered (had two queen beds instead of one king bed). They said that they were sold out for the night but that we would get the room we ordered the next day. As promised, we got the room the next evening. There was mold on the tub in the bathroom and one of the towels had a blood stain. Our room was facing the train so we could hear them passing. The hotel had a great location to seaport village and USS Midway. In all it was an okay stay. We like that we got a 25$ a day credit to spend at the gift shop.

BEWARE OF THIS PROPERTY!!! THEY WILL CHARGE YOUR CARD WITHOUT YOUR AUTHORIZATION. Checked in & was charged the normal $200 deposit on my CC. I checked out through the app, which told me nothing about having an outstanding balance or that I owed anything. Went to valet to get my car & the guy asked if I had checked out. I told him I did. Which I guess he didn't believe me since he had to call & ask the front desk. Upon that the front desk told him I had an outstanding balance of $4. I went back to the front ask to speak to the girl that was there. She told me I did have an outstanding balance of $4 because I had gone over my $200 deposit fee because of parking (which is expensive at $60 a night.) plus the destination fee (resort fee) & I had eaten at their restaurant. ALSO DO NOT EAT THERE! Food is expensive & the girl server that served us was extremely rude. Going back to my checkout, the girl charged my card the $4 I had outstanding. As I walked back to my car, I noticed that I was charged $300. I went back & spoke to the girl & was told she couldn't tell me why I had been charged $300. Then processed to tell me she would send it to her financing department. I then spoke to a manager name Michael which he processed to tell me he didn't know why they would charge me $300. This place is charging people without noticed or authorization. I just got off the phone with Hilton CS and was told the hotel should have not charged me $300. I will be reporting this to the BBB.

Everything was fantastic, we stay here every year. My only suggestion is please upgrade your toilet paper. For as much as this place cost to stay at you should have more quality paper, especially for women, your TP is uncomfortable to use.
