Everything was great at the hotel, except the bathroom door, absolutely no privacy whatsoever. The barn door left about a 2 inch gap and did not close properly. Not sure this was how it was supposed to be or if it was broken.

For the past two visits, the front desk staff badgered me to book with Hilton directly instead of booking through Expedia. He said they gave my King room away to someone with higher priority. Instead, he offered me a queen bed or a refund (at the evening of check in). It was a very stressful two visits. That will likely be the last. Super disappointing!

It was a very well run hotel, with very friendly staff and in a great location. Breakfast was a typical hotel breakfast, hot items with the usual offerings. Only negative thing was the carpet in our room was very dirty with many stains but the rest of the room was very clean.

Staff not friendly at the front desk. Also the rooms are very small, The fridge looked like it hadn’t been washed in weeks, the top of the bathroom door had rust all over it. So overall not the best.
