I was not able to book through my Hilton honors account, but was able through Expedia. Could not get credit for an Honors Stay. My room was 64 degrees for the first two days and nights even though the front desk attempted to have someone fix it. The third night was a comfortable evening in the low 70’s after bringing in the correct staff. Second was the fact that the manager stated that there were no refrigerators in the hotel and I would have to.keep my insulin is an ice bucket. This was the best option offered. Other than that it was service we had come to expect. Best regards, Hoyt Lowder

The person who checked me in was not very welcoming. I asked if early check in was available and she promptly said it is usually an extra $150 but she'd try to waive it for 1 time. I'm not sure if it was waived although I said that I understood and could wait a couple hours, but that I was just checking to see if it was possible. She handed me the keys, no directions on parking, locating the room, WiFi, etc. I felt like I was being frowned upon for booking through a third party app.

Was there at 3:50 to check in. Front desk told me room not ready and check in isn’t till 4 anyway. There was a line of about 25 people. I asked so do you just want me to go to the end of the line because it will be after 4 by the time get back up here. His response was yes. So I went to the back of the line and at 4:15 I made it to the front desk again where I was told the room wasn’t ready again and to try back later. Now I’m paying 400 a night for a room and need to meet people and the front desk just told me I’ll have to wait. Seeing I was agitated he gave me a $15 dollar credit at the bar while I wait. That covered a beer for me and my gf. About another 20 minutes pasted when the man from the front desk walked up to me and handed me my room key. Pool area had grass growing between the patio blocks that wear also uneven and sunk in the ground. Your over facility needs updating. Patio chairs are broken and rusted,and over all look of place is out dated. Ont be returning . I like the Hilton brand and frequent them but this place doesn’t meet your standards.
