"I choose this hotel because I was a Hilton’s honors member and wanted to use an American Express gift card to pay for part of my stay. I opted to pay in person online however when I arrived the system could not process my gift card. The front desk staff was exceptional and friendly. They tried their best to problem solve but in the end I could not use my gift card. It was a little disappointing.
