Great appearance. Questionable stay. Five star breakfast. Two star room. One star bar service.
Stayed the whole weekend at this location. I travel often and have gotten used to different hotel chains. One thing I noticed right away is that almost all Hilton owned hotels have a great looking lobby and decent sized rooms. This place is just that. Well designed layout of the entire hotel. Restaurant is in close proximity to the lobby, pool (indoors), front desk, and bar.
***** 5 Stars Breakfast & Restaurant
There is no room to complain here!! Made to order omelettes were fast and great. They offer more than the typical free breakfast.
Hot foods: bacon, sausage, potatoes, eggs, oatmeal, and make your own waffles
Cold foods: cereals, baked items, fruits, yogurt
All drinks available: coffee, juice, milk, teas, soda
Dinner was also great!!
** 2 Stars Room
I would love to give this place extra stars for the room size, amount of beds for the price, and room layout. However, the quality of their mattresses and pillows made for an uneasy nights rest. Pillows have zero support. Your hand will push right through the pillow if you lean on it. Even using two pillows won't help. The sheets felt tough and starchy. The mattress has no softness. I usually prefer a firm mattress, but this was neither firm nor soft. It was borderline springy. The carpets in the rooms also looked like they haven't been replaced in a few decades. I don't mind hotel carpeting usually, but this carpet looks highly trafficked and like it could use an overall deep cleaning.
* 1 Star Bar Area
This bar experience was VERY DISAPPOINTING. It made our stay so negative that I would prefer never to come back. The layout and furniture in the bar, which connects directly to the lobby seating, was great. The bartender was just not kind, at all.
Our group stayed here with a block of rooms because we travel often together. After a late night of being out, we came back to just sit together and catch up on the days events. None of the rooms are large enough to accommodate a group more than 6 people. Naturally, we meet downstairs for the adults to regroup. This is the only area with open seating in the whole hotel. There's a large table that can seat 8+ people that we occupied. The bartender, within 20 minutes of sitting, walks directly to our table to angrily tell us that we have to leave her area and go back to our rooms. She complained that this is her area and she must clean it all. Mind you, a group of 15 people were also seated close by and eating pizza and having drinks because they just arrived too. She didn't say anything to them.
After demanding we get out of "her area", she returns to her two customers sitting at her bar and very loudly announces how mad she is for us to be there. We moved onto the lobby chairs for a little. She then continues for another 20-40 minutes discussing our group with these two guests. It was bizarre. Our group was sitting with no outside food, we had a few cans of soda, water, and a 12 pack of beer cans. However, it was already passed 10pm. The restaurant was closed. The bar was getting close to closing. It was 40 degrees outside. And we had no children. No disruption at all. We weren't drunk or loud. Just talking amongst ourselves.
The night before we enjoyed their complimentary drinks for adults and already experienced her dry and, to be honest, mean demeanor. You couldn't crack a joke with this lady or make her smile, even with the $20 tip I put in her glass jar. When someone in front of me joked with her she told him that she has no problem pouring his beer right down the drain. Seriously!!! So we were not surprised. We also heard her yell at three young boys who walked by the bar towards the restaurant. They must have been looking for their parents, but were startled when she said "Hey! No running around here!". Though they weren't running. Rude.
All together, this place really is for a hotel guest that wants a room and free breakfast. They don't want to make your stay comfortable, enjoyable, or memorable (for the right reasons). So if you are traveling in and out with no downtime and don't mind a semi-springy mattress with unsupportive pillows, it will work. If you are traveling for leisure and enjoyment, I wouldn't prefer this spot.
