Curtains
The room I stayed in 720 the curtains do not shut all the way so you wake up with the sun hitting your face if you are sleeping on the bed next to the balcony. Booked for 4 people but towels left for 2.

Balcony, hot pool and breakfast advantage hotel.
The view from balcony room and breakfast are amazing. Also the hot pool is relaxing but our stay is too short. Wish the beds are queen sizes. But everything is clean. And balcony and hot pool are the main thing I chose the hotel. Breakfast availability is also another winner.

Did not answer guest services phones for a while, didn’t have a workable QR code for the room for information, the parking lot was soo narrow. Never stayed at a place where I had to go down for basic information more than once because the information wasn’t in the room. The frig in the room wasn’t working and as a pumping mom it was extremely necessary, had to dump milk bc of this inconvenience.

For the cost they need a serious upgrade of the whole building. The cost guest pay is not worth how out dated the hotel is. Staff where very accommodating, especially the Resturant staff. Iv'e traveled over 70 countries and was disappointed as a Hilton Honors member.
