This was our second stay at this property. Everything was wonderful. We didn't like the first floor room we were initially given, but they switched us to a third floor room which was wonderful. Such a beautiful property, our kids loved the pool and the games. We will be back for sure!

It was nice being so close to beach and walking distance to wharf and state street. It sucked having nats in our room and seeing them in the food court area where they make coffee drinks and sell pre made food and snacks. The pre made breakfast burritos tasted terrible no flavor and the older woman behind counter had no person skills she seems mad to be working. Our room was as if for assisted living for elderly...toilet way too high even for my husband to sit on, shower was a huge water mess only nice IF we were in a wheelchair but none of us are water all over floor to toilet and to entry way, pillows were the worst they were not comfortable they were none firm as in super squishy like a bag of fabric no neck support and several drunk people outside on Wednesday night on the grass firepit two women and two men the women were so wasted they were screaming and yelling at the men making a huge ugly seen it went on for a while drinks in hand and spilling it could be seen from the out door bar firepit where tables are set up on patio...and there was no security and no management around they were allowed on property in this rage nobody to monitor how drunk and crazy behavior was in front of a full patio on hilton property, unfortunately there was no service at the pool for poolside food and beverages although on Wednesday it appears there is a food and or beverage shelter area although nobody there for service and there is no music played at the pool...very boring type of place

Disappointed in stay for price paid. Location of room was underwhelming. Advertised as a resort but not much to do at hotel. Checking in took one hour . Fan in room was noisy and did not work well. Lower floor room was dark and gloomy.

This is a nice hotel that is dog friendly and has beautiful views. It has everything you need on the resort but be prepared to pay resort prices for food and any other basic needs you may choose to. The gym is small but has Pelotons and enough equipment to get a good workout in. There is only one pool and one hot tub as well.
