8 / 10Excellent·Aug 2026
Great location and nice hotel with all of the Hilton niceties (cleanliness, service, etc). Great beds and pillows too. The hotel needs updating and the pool as well as its lounge area around the pool needs cleaning or possibly updating. I recommend it for the cost if you want a nice and clean hotel.
8 / 10Excellent·Aug 2026
Nice room. Lovely view. Great location. Communication between host and Ballast wasn’t great. For example, the hotel wasn’t aware that I prepaid for Valet parking. Was charged twice. Later second charge removed.

I miss some of the little things you used to get with a hotel stay.
6 / 10Average·Jun 2026
We arrived and 2 hours after check in time we still didn’t have a room. They did accommodate us but to a room with a rolling cot as the second bed.
