Our stay was awful! We did not get the room we originally booked with a king size bed. They gave us a double bed room with two small beds. My husband and I couldn’t eve sleep together in the same bed. Everything was falling apart in the room. The room was horrible especially for the price we paid. The lock on the door was starting to fall off. We would not consider staying there again.

This was out second night here. Our first night was a mess, and I wrote a review reflecting that. Things began to get better last night with the service received after our calls and visit to the front desk concerning our overflowing toilet issue we had a chat with kevin at the front desk this morning. Kevin cared. He took time to listen, take notes, most of all offer a sincere apology. He wiped out our extra fees, gave us honors credits, and moved us to a much more appropriate room. This night was night and day different from yesterday, and we are grateful

Wow, where do I start. How about the advertised rate of $175 per night that is actually about $300 per night after fees, including your choice of a $50/day valet fee or $46/ day to park your own car. Then there's the "marina view" I will submit a picture if possible we are on the second floor overlooking the pool. If I go out on the balcony, and bend over, i can see the marina. In the marina are 4 yachts with party people making as much noise as they like. Management can't do anything because it's not their property. The staff will happily answer questions, and get you things if you ask them, but do not offer helpful information on things like how to get to your room, where you can use your $20 food credit that comes out of your $30 resort fee, where to get the beach towels that the resort fee also includes any details about the beach shuttle service or valet service. In fact we were told valet was $50, front desk had to clarify it was $50 per day. The front desk person mis spoke causing alarm and just rolled right through as though he never made the mistake. All in all a disappointing experience. I can not believe it bears the Hilton name.

We were promised free parking, didn't get that. Parking $44. per night. We were promised free breakfast, didn't get it. Breakfast $37. per person. Promised a free welcome in drink, didn't get it. When we showed the Hilton check in person, in writing, we were told that was Expedia's fault. Hilton said they were sorry for the miss leading information and would waive the resort fee. Didn't get it!

I booked my room and was told there would be a few (small) perks. I received an email TWO days before check in that the free breakfast and welcome drink that came with my room booking would NOT be honored. I was told the hotel apologized for any inconvenience, and they would waive the resort fee (of $30). I checked in bc it was too late to change hotels, and they not only put my in a lousy room, but also "could not find the message that indicated my resort fee would be waived". I'll NEVER stay her again. On the up side, folks were at least friendly, so that's a plus.

Although it was resolved rather quickly by staff, I was charged twice for the night after the room had already been paid for through Expedia. I would recommend paying with a card that has a minimal balance on it to avoid this issue. It took 2 weeks to get the credit to my card.

So loud and bright. Had to leave curtains closed at all times with lights shining up and in my room. Specifically not safe for a single female traveler. Was also not appointed my room that I reserved. That unsettling feeling of I got ripped off royally. Loud loud, can hear every word and conversation from everyone at the marina. Had 7 days of fantastic top notch travel and my last night where I just needed to relax and sleep is the exact opposite. Bathroom looks like a red roof Inn. Very very disappointed

I was disappointed with my stay this time at your facility. My first stay with you was amazing, we were on the 11th floor overlooking the Marina a beautiful view. I booked this visit and I specifically asked if I could please have the same as I did before. I did not receive a response. I sent another message asking for a room on the highest level in preparation of my visit, no response. I am a Hilton Honor member. When I checked in I was surprised to learn that my room was off in the distance, in the old building I'm guessing, third floor, last room on the right. No where near friends nor in the same building. The small balcony view was of the parking lot and the staircase. I booked this a year in advance. I'm disappointed no one responded or acknowledged my request not once but twice.
