No valet or bellhops available. $20 daily, app. based parking. Room cleanliness could’ve been better (6/10), a bit grimey. Short staffed; did not feel hospitable. Regretted not booking the Marriott in this area.

The property was on a hillside and the parking was not convenient, I had to walk up and down an incline and the lightening at night was dim. In addition I had to pay for parking which I didn’t know about and it was unreasonable since there was plenty of space for guests to park. The cost of staying at the Hilton was over priced for what you can get at other hotels.

The carpeting throughout the property was dirty, and our room was neither cleaned nor stocked with extra towels during our stay. When I called to inquire about pricing, the person who answered was rude, telling me not to waste their time if I wasn’t ready to book. I had hoped for a better experience, but the stay was extremely disappointing. I will not be staying here again.
