All of the staff I interacted with were awesome, they were very friendly and welcoming and I had a genuine pleasure speaking with them. However, I had loud neighbors. They blasted their TVs late into the night, even when I put ear plugs in I could hear every word from their TV. My suggestion for Hilton is to actually invest in noise canceling insulation between units. This would help minimize cases like this.

Our room looked like wired when we got in, bed was not done and sofa cushion was flipped up. Staff were very nice and changed room for us immediately. However the bedding sheet was missing in our new room. Breakfasts was great, cook to order is better than the buffet, and the service was great.
