The room was clean and the young lady at the front desk was sweet and friendly. I was invited to vote in their Christmas tree competition which was a fun way to include clients into a friendly work competition.

Water pipe break. The blowers keep us up all night. The indoor pool was out of order. The front desk guy ar check in was great. I would stay here again but just let me know that there is a problem and give me a chance to change my mind to stay.

Property is very clean but showing some usage strains. Lots of restaurants and shopping within short driving distance. Room was quiet and clean. Pillows were almost too soft. Would prefer something a little to the medium firm side.

A beautiful quiet and relaxing place
The Hotel was beautiful the service was great but the garbage was overflowing and all the ice machines were broken and one of the stalls in the bathroom was broken.
Overall it was nice and will certainly come back because of the service.

The staff was very nice and the room was very clean.
We did complain about the pool. The pool area wasn't clean and the swimming pool itself was dirty on the bottom. We mentioned that the first night and then again the second night - nothing was addressed regarding the pool. The decaying leaves had been picked up though.
The lighting in the bathroom was more like a night light. Couldn't shave or put makeup on there. We were told that lighted mirrors were available at the front desk, which indicated Hilton was aware of this problem.

Great staff, smelly room
The staff were wonderful and everything else was just fine except that our room smelled strangely of cat pee. I kid you not. I informed the desk and they said they’d make a note of it. We didn’t notice the smell anywhere else but our room and the carpet was wet as though they’d just given it a rather vigorous bath. Again, nice hotel and great staff but the room odor was pretty bad. Even if you like cats, that’s not something you want in life. Just saying.

My daughter had one wish for her 4th birthday: to stay in a hotel. I chose this one because of the indoor pool and the inviting outdoor space by the pond — and I’m so glad we did.
Was it perfect? No. The indoor pool area could use some upgrades — safer, less slippery floors, actual pool towels, and better air circulation to cut the humidity (and the echo, which was real 😅). But the room was clean, the bed was super comfortable, and most importantly, it gave my kids space to laugh, splash, and play without bothering anyone else.
They had a blast swimming while it stormed outside and then frog-hunting by the pond when the skies cleared. But what made our stay truly memorable was Julia, a kind and observant housekeeper we met in passing. She noticed it was my daughter’s birthday — and later came back to gift her $5, explaining someone had left her a tip and she wanted to “gift Kayte what she had been gifted.” That simple, selfless gesture blew me away. What a beautiful moment of kindness from a complete stranger — to a four-year-old, no less.
That experience alone earns this hotel a 5/5 in my book. We’ll definitely be back for another local staycation.
