The hotel was nice. The pool was very small and Jacuzzi was horrible. I was there for two nights. I asked for a 12 o’clock checkout they refused.

Hotel was in a great area, not a lot of noise, beautiful inside and out. Beds were comfortable, everything was very clean. One downside we experienced was that the water didn’t get very hot and we had to run it for a few minutes to get it to a somewhat warm temperature. Didn’t detract from our stay. Everyone was friendly and had no issues with parking. There’s an additional fee for parking but well worth it to be able to go back and forth without any issues. Highly recommend this hotel.

Its okay
Clean hotel/room. Lots of cost!! Was not informed of the 34$/day parking fee until check in. Pricey restaurant, $3 for water in your room. Wifi charges unless you become a Hilton member. Fitness center was ok, some broken equipment, nice pool area but small.

Newly renovated and very nice
Everything was great here. Parking was a bit janky consdering you pay 34.00 for it and we had to park in an alternate garage. Other than that it was great.
