Liked: Staff & service
There was no literature -- directory, guest book, or menu in our room. The beds were not as comfortable as I would expect from a Hilton Hotel. The rooftop bar area was nice, but the food was not to Hilton standards. We returned the burger sliders as they were overcooked. Please clean the cushions on the high top chairs. Quite a few stains on them. The music was nice. But I would recommend a sun shade. The sun was beaming on the performers, and they did not look comfortable. Friendly, courteous staff. Convenient location near freeway.

I got mistreated due to my child having autism and him crying . I got multiple calls from receptionist. I tried to explain why he had cried but she didnt care. I paid extra for breakfast and didn’t get to eat due to her calling over his crying. Definitely not a kid place and not sensitive over a disability such as Autism

A little disappointed
I was a little disappointed with the room. The staff was great, very helpful. However, the room itself was very underwhelming. The bathroom didn't have a vent so it would get stuffy after you took a shower. I also found a bug crawling into my shoe and a bug in the bathroom. They also did not have a smart TV. In today's world, a smart TV should be standard. We had an event to go to nearby, which is why I paid for the expensive room- for the location, but I don't think I'll be staying here again.
