The service and the caliber of the guestrooms was remarkable. And I don’t say that lightly. Between the turndown service and the mid morning check-in, our room was always clean —& up to snuff. I also appreciated the warm response of all the hotel stuff from when I needed to borrow two umbrellas to getting my car out of valet parking. It was such a wonderful experience and the location is phenomenal. Exactly what my partner and I were looking for.

We had an issue with our room and the manager, Miguel, was very helpful in assisting us with a new room which was much better. As we transferred rooms, housekeeping brought me my phone charger that I accidentally left in the previous room which I really appreciated. Unfortunately, at the pool bar and restaurant, the service was slow. The atmosphere on the property is a beautiful place to relax. The location is nearby the art galleries on Canyon Road and the Plaza. Overall, we enjoyed our stay here.

I love this place. The staff are great, rooms delightful, you can walk into town in five minutes, lots of happy hours, breakfast included etc. BUT my bill ranged from 231.00 a night to 299.00. It increased by the day . No one told me they could alter the rate in relation to how busy they were! I really don't understand how that could be honest, but was told by the Hilton that some owners do that and it is legal! WATCH OUT
