Parking and checkin was a shambles. When I arrived at 7:30pm all the free guest parking was full, and there was inadquate space in front of reception for check in aprking as well. Having to pay an extra $25 for secured parking was an unwelcome surprise. The room was fine - comfortable bed, large clean bathroom - but breakfast was another disappointment. The cooked options were all barely lukewarm. Pastries weren't fresh. Not up to Hilton standard.

I found the majority of the staff were excellent. But the bar staff (not the manager) didn’t understand what is expected. Eg both staff talked to each other in their native language and didn’t acknowledge patrons who went to the bar for service. No eye contact or acknowledge that they were waiting. All the other staff we came across were excellent.
