A beautiful hotel at a decent rate
A beautiful hotel with great amenities at decent rate. I'd stay here again. The only down side is that you have to pay for parking.

Stay here! You will love it
This hotel is so beautiful and the customer service was excellent. The restaurant food was excellent! Our family really enjoyed ourselves. The rooms were so nice and clean, I just wish my view was not a parking lot. Other than that, this was a wonderful experience and I would recommend everyone I know to stay here.

Would not go again.
While untucking the sheets, a pair of boxers flew out of in between the mattress and frame. Also, I had called in advance and requested a crib for 1 night. When I arrived, no crib. When I called the front desk to ask to correct, they advised the people who were able to get us a crib had left for the night. I was unable to get one which made our trip a little more difficult. For a Hilton, very unpleasant.
