It was as good as any other nice hotel. Not what I expected for the cost.

Liked: The bar.
Disliked: The cost for the room with no working coffee pot, no restaurant, minimal food choices to eat at the bar. No cups in the room. No glasses to put water.

Liked: Hotel was beautiful and location was good
Disliked: Had lots of issues after my stay and the staff was awful. My credit card got charged twice and I had to call Hilton 3 times to get it fixed. Each time the staff was rude and acted like they were doing me a favor by getting it fixed
