Very nice and glad Hilton...

Liked: Breakfast was great Hilton assisted me with getting this re-booked when concert was delayed due to LA fires Booking was was very unhelpful with this problem so I see more bookings thru Hilton app and properties in future.
Disliked: A non dairy coffee option would be nice . I say this due to milk allergies.
