| - Stayed here over memorial day weekend. We decided to stay here because firstly, my boyfriend and I are only 20 and it was one of the only hotels that allowed 18+ to check in, AND we were told that we could access the flamingo pool. The flamingo isn't a very nice hotel but the pool there is great, so we were excited to stay there. We could have paid less and stayed in a different hotel down the road but because of the pool we decided to stay here. I even made sure when I called that you could get in if you weren't 21, and they said yes. Upsetting, because we paid $220 per night for 2 nights, so close to $500 bucks and the main reason we stayed here was to go to the pool.
Turns out, that wasn't correct. As we were checking in, the woman told us it was 21 and over. They have a "family pool" that we could get into and also the Hilton has their own small pool for guests only. But those pools are DINKY. I was extremely disappointed because that was the sole reason I paid more to stay at this hotel. I understand they serve drinks there and what not, but all I cared about was getting into the pool, relaxing, and having fun. So we didn't even end up going swimming at all on our trip.
Now, back to the hotel. We checked in WAY early, around 9:30am. Check in time there is 4:00. We requested early check in, but that's never a guarantee. We also requested a nice upper level room with a view. So we went out to go shopping and at around 3:30 I think it was they called me and told me our room was ready. We got there and we were on the 12th floor. We got a one bedroom suite. A beautiful room with a GREAT view of the pool. Yeah, the pool we couldn't get into... Ugh. The room was spacious and really clean with the exception of the tub. There were feet marks in it. Oh well, easy fix. We cleaned it ourselves. The full kitchen is equipped with everything you need to make a meal. Pots, pans, measuring spoons, plates, silverware, salt and pepper. THERE IS EVEN AN ICE MACHINE IN THE FRIDGE IN YOUR ROOM. I thought that was amazing. I use a lot of ice and not having to go down to the hallway in my PJ's was kinda exciting. Bed was very comfortable and there is a DVD player and a small safe in the living room. Water pressure of the shower was perfect, and the HUGE jacuzzi tub was awesome and could probably easily fit a couple people in it if you really wanted to party... but this really isn't a party hotel. I saw mostly families and older couples here which is nice, because it made for a nice and quiet nights sleep. 2 sink areas in the bathroom and plenty of electrical outlets for whatever you need. Washer and dryer in the suite. We honestly weren't in the room very much but it was lovely.. other than the parking.
This is the only reason I gave the hotel 4 stars. You share the parking garage with the flamingo. floors 3-7 are for guests (1-2 for valet only) and self parking is free. Valet is $10, but we didn't have much luggage so we decided to try it. WORST DESIGNED PARKING GARAGE I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE. It's like a maze trying to get through there. You'll be on level 5 and you'll go up and now you're on level 4. Anyway, spots are small and VERY hard to find (it's a tiny parking garage), there is no elevator which can be annoying. During the daytime it's semi-easy to find a spot (they have spots designated for Hilton guests only which is cool) but at night time you may be s**t out of luck. The only way you'll find a spot is if you're lucky enough to catch someone leaving. You'd be better off using the valet, especially if you have a lot of luggage.
There's a small deli in the hotel with some essentials and then a good variety of snacks and made on the spot sandwiches. Not too expensive either. Nice workout facility, it had a few treadmills, ellipticals, weights, and a scale. Very clean also. Sauna and spa too.
Overall this was a very nice stay, great hotel, and the staff was really friendly. I would stay here again, but once I'm 21 I can stay anywhere so I may try another hotel. We'll see.
