Great location to stay at. The elevators are going through maintenance so that slowed things down as only 7 passengers can go at a time. Breakfast is good but there are not enough tables for seating at rush hour. This could also depend on when you visit.

Terrible experience
Worst stay at a Hilton I’ve ever had. My disabled husband can’t take stairs and the elevator is having “maintenance done”. It took over 30 minutes to get on the elevator. This was ridiculous! Not to mention we had to call down to the desk both nights we were there because kids kept stopping until midnight in the room above us.

We loved the attention of the staff who were very attentive all the time. The free breakfast was number one with different varieties of food items everyday. The cleanliness of the room was outstanding. We could not ask for more and we would like to comeback to Hampton Inn and have the same wonderful experience.
