Loved the pool and room, however extremely understaffed leading to poor service in the bar and restaurant both evening and breakfast time. Multiple complaints from other guests overheard about room service line being ignored. Public areas not cleaned to the level expected for this hotel. Weeks of rubbish and dust under restaurant welcome desk. Windows in public area not cleaned to a high standard, bar not swept under. Large investment in staffing needed to keep up with expectations for a hotel of this brand.

Our stay was OK but not the usual standard of Hilton we are used to. The rooms are "tired" but clean. Room service was frustrating as when they get busy they seem to just take the phone off the hook. One night it took us over an hour to place our order and then another 45 minutes for the meals to arrive & still got stung $5.00 room service charge. The grounds are beautiful as is the exterior of the hotel. Buffet breakfast was very good. Overall, not really worth the money in my view.
