The hotel staff, friendly and welcoming. Unfortunately this is a hotel that needs major renovations. The lounge area and main lobby have the ambience of mid century modern. But so is the carpet. Now you think with the lounge which has a bar open between 5 to. 10 most evenings, it would be considered a focal point. But rippling and moldy smells are not mood alternatives. The rooms although comfortable, have stains on the curtains. So if u overlook that let's get to the ala catre menu. The breakfast, which is applicable two ways. A grab and go version,will set u back, 18 bucks for buffet. That's not even a consideration. You can purchase cereal, some jimmy dean biscuits in the freezer, or donuts . If you really like mud coffee that's at no cost. So bring your own breakfast or go out.. It seems like this is not indicative of most Hiltons. Not only does it need an internal face lift , the pool which is quite large, was open, but no jets were operating. The staff was unaware that the security on the pool gate to get back inside, was not operating correctly. So if seeing this one on line, click by , and hope Hilton attends to giving this their attention. Choose wisely.
