The buffet was great! It was a combination of continental items, hot cereals and other hot breakfast choices (meats, potatoes, etc.), a chef to make fresh omelets, fresh fruit, Asian fare, and various juices and other beverages. They even had fresh, soft chocolate cookies as part of the buffet! The waiters were very helpful, personable, and attentive.
I think what makes this area unique is the strong Asian influence with restaurants, clothing stores, convenience stores, and other shops. I like how the staff speak multiple languages and the breakfast items were labeled with dual languages. I enjoyed the multicultural offerings and environment.
The Rose Bowl and the Rose Parade were within a 30 min drive. Even the staff had great tips on how to navigate getting there, and how to watch, etc. We would stay here again and I would highly recommend this Hilton.
I am a Hilton Diamond member and have previously stayed at the hotel multiple times and there was never an issue. The hotel met most expectations and would exceed in other aspects as well. Maybe it's due to COVID but this hotel is nowhere near the level it used to be.
The issues started at check-in when we were told that Diamond members do not currently get breakfast but get $15 per person per room (new Hilton policy I knew about). We had 2 rooms connecting rooms with 2 people in each room but they would only give a $30 credit. While this is technically the rule, most Hiltons will provide breakfast or credit to Diamond members if they are travelling with their family and have 2 rooms booked. We were told we could use the credit at the restaurant or in the small market in the lobby. The hotel does not currently have room service and the hotel has no bar to use the credit.
Since we weren't comfortable having breakfast in the indoor restaurant, we grabbed a few snacks and breakfast items each morning. At checkout, the agent informs me that the food and beverage credit could only be used at the restaurant and not in the grab and go pantry. He said there was nothing he could do and would not apply our credit to anything.
After reviewing the fine prints of the new Hilton's new policy, the policy clearly states that the credit can be used at the on premise market/grab and go pantry. I complained to Hilton corporate who then forwarded my message to a person at the hotel with the title of "Front Office Supervisor". I was again told the credit could not be applied and they sent me a photo of a small sign next to the market that said "gift shop". Despite the fact that the vast majority if not all of the items in there were food, they claimed "gift shops" were exempt from the credit. The picture they sent of the "gift shop" sign even included a sign next to it from the health department that displayed their "A" rating. I doubt gift shops get inspected by the health department. This still doesn't take into account we were told at check-in we could use the credit at the pantry.
Please beware of the hotel management if staying at this hotel. The hotel does not provide the level of service it used to and it definitely trying to take advantage of the current COVID situation.
Rooms were comfortable, very sizeable with lounge area, 2 large screen televisions and quality linens. As with other Hilton establishments during our trip we noticed the reduction in bathroom towel stocks.
Whilst we understood the room cleaning on request only policy due to covid I seriously frown upon having to give 24h notice for service. Replacement towels were obtained from the housekeeping trollies. Pre-covid you would have been awarded points in lieu of room make up.
Gold member benefits as experienced at other establishments during our trip are being eroded, this included a credit towards breakfast as opposed to complimentary breakfast.
Parking $9.95 per night.
The property is smart looking on first impressions but is currently being allowed to deteriorate. The bedroom door security latches are without protective plates which has caused damage to the woodwork of every door I passed by on the corridors.
Our bathroom had clearly suffered a leak resulting in damaged ceiling & woodwork which sadly included in some clearly visible fungal growth.
Cleaning, I noticed that most hotel room doors were scuff marked as I walked past and sadly our bathroom shower area suffered the attentive cleaning required to prevent serious mould build up around sills.
I did explain this on our departure to the front desk and showed evidential photos (happy to provide via PM if anyone wants to see) I suggested the room was not relet without serious attention. Whilst I was listened to I received zero follow up and this property was the only Hilton from our trip that didn’t invite me to complete an e-questionnaire hence this review after waiting 2 weeks.
I understand the pressures that covid has presented the hospitality industry however this impressive building should not be allowed to deteriorate through lack of staff/maintenance. The eye is currently off the ball which is a shame.
We picked the Chinese wedding banquet menu for our reception (though they also have other cuisines/menus to choose from) and we loved that a menu tasting was included! We got to try almost all of the items we were choosing to put on the menu and all of us, including both of our parents, were pleasantly surprised at how good the food was. After our wedding, we received lots of compliments about the food from our wedding guests as well!
All the vendors we hired had all either worked with her before or at least did a wedding at the hotel before, so all the vendor coordination was a breeze. We also had some friends and family help out and Medeline made sure they had time to help decorate the ballrooms.
A hotel room for the night of the wedding was also included and we were incredibly grateful; we were exhausted at the end of the night and glad that we could just go up and rest!
All in all, Medeline was wonderful to work with and we were very happy at the end of the night. We highly recommend having a wedding here!!
"Don’t use F&B credit at the restaurant. It is better to eat at all the nearby bakery and restaurant. Use it for the gift shop."Read full review
