This is a beautiful property, and we were very excited to arrive. The rooms, upkeep and facilities did not disappoint. We loved the pool area. However, arriving in the evening to be met with massive parking signs telling you that all customers need to pay for parking at a facility with no parking shortage at all, feels like a shameless money grab for a Hilton property. This was not well referenced on the booking sites. It detracts from all the other great things, and even though we loved the hotel, this parking fee issue is something that will prevent us from coming back since comparable hotels do not charge for parking in the area.

Everything was great until i saw my ac vent had mold all inside of it even though this was supose to be an allergy free room. They moved us to another room but not alergin free room. Tried to get my extra money back because i paid extra for the alergin room. They said they gave us a balcony instead and thats an upgrade. Overall they didnt seem like they cared to much about the mold. The bar area is great and the staff is amazing.

Charged for outdoor parking. There was ample parking at the facility and no observable reason for this up charge. Seemed everything was an up charge, no coffee in the room so had to be purchased in the restaurant. Other hotels provide coffee and water.
