Disappointed former Hilton fan
Had a terrible room assignment. View of rooftop air conditioners/emergency generators, next to elevators, ice machine and housekeeping storeroom. Friends with us all had a marina view. When questioned, hotel said since I booked through a third party (hotels.com), I would need to pay a fee to upgrade to a better room. They were punishing me for not booking directly through them. Bed was not comfortable at all.

Rooms are comfortable with nice bathrooms but the TV's need to be updated. They have a nice pool area and a great rooftop space that is perfect for watching the sunset. The continental breakfast is very average so you might want to order off the menu. Staff at the front desk very friendly.
