It was nice how it was next to the beach. Clean and well kept. Just needs to be more updated. But overall good for the price and being next to the ocean

Walls and ceiling are pretty thin. We stayed at a hotel just days prior to this visit and we could not hear the family next to us at all.at the Hilton we could hear just about every cough, and muffled conversations. Above you could hear many of the foot steps as they ran and shuffled around the room.

for over $300 per night you would expect a good bed and clean room... that is not the case.
One of the box springs was broken on our beds and both bed were old, and insanely lumpy.
Their maintenance staff was able to replace the box spring for us within 2 hours of checking in, but in the process there was trash stuffed under each bedframe, and the bedding had not been replaced as there was dried blood on our bedding, and nicotine pouch cans on the floor by the bed frame... Not to mention body hair all over the bathroom.
Truly disappointed that a Hilton property would be so poorly cleaned.

The hotel maintenance and housekeeping manager were nice and apologetic, but the front desk staff was less than helpful and unwilling to change our room or provide any sort of comp. The hotel is a beautiful location across from the beach, but its dated and in dire need of a renovation.
Beautiful courtyard area the gets the majority of the care on the property. Ive stayed in far better Best Western or LaQuinta Hotels than this property.

Staff was friendly, but not very informative. It’s located by a beach cliff that does not have an access point. We didn’t know about the shuttle service to their sister property that has beach access until we were checking out.

Oir room had a slight sewage smell that we eventually got used to and we tried using the coffee maker to heat water but I'm pretty sure those are not cleaned regularly. There was some white ish goo in the water fill area. We decided against using it...

Overall a good trip.

I liked the location, my room, and the pool area. However, my room key that was supposed to work to give me access to and egress from the gated parking never worked and I had to press the help button every single time. They opened the gate fairly quickly, but when you pay $29 for each day for parking, I should not have had to deal with this malfunction, wondering if I would get stuck. I also encountered a delay in checking out when the only person present at the counter was entangled in a lengthy endeavor with another party, but completely ignored me and failed to inform me that it would be ok to just drop the keys in the key box until much later.

This was a fairly expensive booking at $400+ per night for two nights. The food was absolutely terrible. I called the desk to ask for a blanket that they said they would send up, but it never arrived. The vibe was very corporate-cheap and impersonal. The food was just awful, especially breakfast, where the eggs tasted like they were made from re-hydrated sawdust. For this price they really need to do much better, especially with food.

The EV charging station is in a handicapped parking spot, which is fine for us because we have a placard, however it was impossible to use the charger because other handicapped cars that were not an EV were always parked there. The one time there was an empty spot a Tesla was using the charger. There was a dedicated Tesla charger but it was not working.

The hotel was clean and in a great location BUT the walls and floors in this hotel are thin as paper. I had to change rooms because the person in the room next door was snoring and I could hear it in my room, Once I changed rooms the family in the room next door was just as loud. I would not recommend this hotel if you planned on staying here for business and need to get a good night's sleep. But if you don't care about getting a good night's sleep and you want a quick access to the beach and shopping this is a great hotel.

I arrived early. The staff was friendly and the manager stepped up and got me into a room quickly. The room was very clean and spacious. I had a nice view which I didn't expect. I didn't make it to the pool but walked around the property. It was very nice. Lots to do in the area. I didn't need my room cleaned but saw housekeeping and asked for more coffee and she was the best! There was also a restaurant and bar that I didn't get to but will try next time. I was having such a good time I was going to add on a night but the place was fully booked. The price was so reasonable considering it was right across from the beach. I plan on coming back for my birthday. Will recommend this hotel to my friends.

The lobby, restaurant, pool area, and guest room all offered a clean and comfortable environment to relax and unwind.

That said, the room would greatly benefit from additional towel hooks—particularly in accommodations designed for up to four guests,

I really hoped to like this stay but it wasn’t an ideal stay. We got to our room, the cleaning of the room was terrible. Fridge dirty, coffee machine area dirty not fully cleaned, shower was filthy! The bathroom floors were dirty. The water pressure in the shower was terrible, the water was leaking from the shower to the bathroom floor, later on towards the night our room started to have a sewer smell, they sent someone to spray something in the room, it helped but we couldn’t sleep at night because of that smell, the next morning we had left and came back and our room started to smell again, the water in our room started to smell like poop, no joke. The longer the water ran the more it had that smell. The water it self felt very slimy. We had to cut our trip short due to the inconvenience of the room. Having to deal with this and having a child with you was miserable!

Front desk staff was amazing, room was very clean and modern. However, housekeeping knocked on the door at 9am to see if we were leaving. Check out is 11. I went to grab a luggage cart around 10am and housekeeping was outside our door again and she asked if we \"were done\". I said \"no, checkout is at 11am. Can you please give us 10 more minutes?\" We felt very rushed to leave and we didn't appreciate that. We left around 10:15, so it's not like we were overstaying.

We stayed over Easter weekend. The room above us was constantly making noise and kids were running around, moving furniture and jumping off the bed for long periods of time. Called the front desk to ask if they could send someone to speak to them and were told they could send someone as a courtesy but couldn’t do anything unless it was between 10pm-7am as those were the quiet hours. If they sent someone to talk to them it didn’t solve anything. Waited until 10pm on both nights to have them finally send security to the room and it did not work. Noise finally stopped around 11:30 each night.

I asked to be moved and were told no rooms were available. However, Hotels.com had rooms available to book each night so not sure how they were sold out. Will not be staying at this location again.

It’s a very unpopular Hilton policy to charge a considerable amount for parking in the hotel’s parking lot on top of the room cost. Few people arrive without a car, so it appears Hilton’s intention is to “nickel/dime” it’s customers.
