I had a very disappointing experience with this hotel. I booked a room for the night in March and later decided to bring my son for the weekend, so I needed a room with two beds. Several days before check-in—while I could still cancel with no penalty—I called the hotel to ask if they could switch my reservation. I was told it would be “no problem.” When I arrived late Saturday night and checked in, I was given a king room. I explained the situation and reminded them that I had called ahead, but the staff said there was nothing they could do. They told me there were no rooms with two beds available and no rollaway beds either. As a result, I had to share one bed with my teenage son, which was extremely uncomfortable and frustrating after specifically trying to prevent that by calling ahead. If the hotel couldn’t accommodate the request, they should have told me when I called so I could have canceled and booked somewhere else. Very poor communication and customer service. I would not stay here again. Read less

Great hotel. Very clean. Just wish if you were a Hilton honor member you would get free breakfast. Just too expensive otherwise.

Hotel does not clean the rooms on a daily basis and no one informed me before reservation nor I was informed by staff during checking. I asked for an extra pillow at 11:25pm it took 2 hours. Beach is not as close as they say. 15 min by car. No Restaurant!

We stayed for one night in our road trip. The hotel is a construction site. We need two rooms as we’re family with kids, the rooms were very far from each other in completely two separate floors. I am Hilton honors since quite long time and I didn’t like the room allocation. The construction is in every place in the hotel. They should close it… Read more
