Not great. We (my wife and I) stayed for 2 nights. We arrived fairly late and hit the sack on the 1st night. When we woke next morning we discovered only one (paper) coffee cup to share. At reception they asked if we wanted the room serviced. It is apparently now "Hilton Policy" to only service the rooms every other day unless a request is made… Read more
Not great. We (my wife and I) stayed for 2 nights. We arrived fairly late and hit the sack on the 1st night. When we woke next morning we discovered only one (paper) coffee cup to share. At reception they asked if we wanted the room serviced. It is apparently now "Hilton Policy" to only service the rooms every other day unless a request is made for daily service. We confirmed that we would prefer the room be serviced. This request was ignored. Also did you know that unless you book directly (we booked through Booking.Com) you no longer qualify for Hilton Honours points. Petty! Read less

Not up to Hilton standards. We booked here due to proximity to airport with a shuttle since we had an early flight. Check in was not smooth - we were early (10AM), and were told room wasn’t ready (we were not surprised about this point) but we could be downgraded for another room, but there would be a $35 check in fee.

Not up to Hilton standards. We booked here due to proximity to airport with a shuttle since we had an early flight. Check in was not smooth - we were early (10AM), and were told room wasn’t ready (we were not surprised about this point) but we could be downgraded for another room, but there would be a $35 check in fee. After discussion with another check in clerk, they recognized this fee is waived for Diamond Members (which I much appreciated). We went to the room and found that it had not been cleaned from the previous guests, so we returned to the desk to get another room; which were assigned another room immediately. When we reached the room we found the AC turned off (it was 95F outside and 80% humidity), so the room was very warm inside. The room had been cleaned, but it was in poor condition. Many surfaces seemed moldy or had some sort of rust stains. The lack of exhaust in the bathroom made it extremely humid and paint was peeling from the old door. We later recognized that the AC did not work well and was never able to get the room down to 70F. We also found that there were no towels in the room, so those had to be requested for which delivery took more than 20 minutes. The issues we experienced were primarily due to the condition of the facility, not the staff. We slept at the hotel but made a point to be off property until bedtime as the room wasn’t one we wanted to spend any time in. Overall this was below expectations, and according to my wife the worst Hilton experience we’ve had after 12 years as a diamond member. Read less

Very difficult to find hotel shuttle when arriving at airport. Called hotel. Automated message was very unclear. Took advice from a policeman on duty at airport. He showed us where to wait. Many other hotel guests in same position. Wandering around looking where to pickup shuttle. First and only shuttle came. Full!! Had to wait on shuttle to come around again. 30 minutes. Hotel was very full! Long waits at check in. Like a conveyor belt. Room was fine. What you’d expect from airport hotel. First shock. Cashless hotel. Credit cards only. Was not notified of this! We had wanted to pay cash. Not possible Lobby bar food was ok. Nothing special. But hotel seemed full and lots of guests everywhere. Nothing special here. Was ok for one night. Read less

Image of the Tripadvisor rating Outside the room was better than inside. The suite furniture was dated and stained. The shower was suspect, Hilton?

Well the rooms need serious upgrading. My refrigerated had dents in it! Inside of the "suite" did look like a Hilton. However, the resturant food was price but good. The deck and poolareas were nice. WE enjoyed the view of the planes landing!
