The front desk did not ask for auto information. The next morning there was a notice on my car that there was no record of why I was in my parking lot. Now a firm is trying to collect $75 for me being there. That is not going to happen. Kind of like a SCAM.

Disliked: Cleanliness
The property has a serious mildew/mold issue in many of the guest rooms and was unable to provide suitable accommodations so we declined to stay there. My credit card was charged by the property at 10:30 AM way before check in and they were not willing to provide a refund until the wonderful staff at Hotels.com stepped and called the front desk clerk directly. This property is a disgrace to the Hilton brand - I have been a HHonors member for 30+ years and achieved Diamond status for most of these, but will probably never stay at a Hilton property again unless someone from their corporate office reaches out to me with assurances this will never happen again at a Hilton property.

The room was amazing and nice and clean.We were allowed to check in early which was such a blessing.Because we had a wedding at three at p m.The shower pressure was wonderful.The only negative I have is a truck took off around five o'clock in the morning and he revived his engine that it seemed like it was right outside of our bedroom window other than that.It was a perfect stay
