Hotel is not at all 4 star. It is 3 star hotel. I got handicap room with no lock in bathroom and no exhaust fan. Room was outdated-carpet peeling off, carpet budging from many places, broken and old lamp. Breakfast is standard not Hilton standard or 4 star. I paid $180 for 1 night stay. I wish stayed in some other hotel. Expedia members always gets worst rooms.

The room was nice and clean and the staff were friendly and helpful. For me though the bed was way to hard but thats a personal problem. My reason for the raiting is the hidden charges. I was charged over $118 for parking on their property for 2 days. ( stayed 3 days, 1 day room wasn't even occupied.) The only reason for the charge was so you dint get towed. Parking wasn't secured or even have security. I would have been just as safe parking in the restaurants parking next door. I had know idea I would have been charged this. Nothing but a legal way of theft.

Stayed here for just one night for a concert in the area. The person at the front desk who checked us in/out was so nice! Wish I could remember his name. Love the cookies too. Room was clean except for a fake eyelash strip on the desk. Beds were comfy! Only real issue is that the next day we weren’t able to use the sink or shower as the water was off for some reason. Was a bit of a bummer to not be able to shower before heading out.
