The parking is terrible. $24 to self park and you have to pay through an app with QR code. You can only get up the property from the ends of the lot you can’t walk up anywhere in the middle, Front desk was meh. Was not greeted as a Hilton honors member. Was not asked any questions or offered any info about property at check in. Did not receive check out bill until after leaving property. When checking out was not asked how the stay was or told about my bill. The sink in the bathroom was leaking.
