The hotel needs repairs in the hallwsys. There was a leak in the hallway and walls need to be painted. The bathroom and room was nice and the bed was extremely comfortable. One door handle was broken but it was repaired the next day. The garden and lake views at night were great.

This property is gorgeous! The room is a bit small, but it it is immaculately clean, as is every guest area I have accessed. The entire place is old world opulent, yet still very warm and inviting. I would definitely stay here again!

We were given rooms but the doors were not opening. The IT guy even couldn’t fix it so we had to find another room still same issue. The hot tab was closed. My family wanted yo use it after swimming but it was closed earlier in the evening hrs, that is not good. The spa was also closed. The spa doesn’t provide sauna or steam. I would never book again at this hotel.

Fix the compressor noise to zero/0!!
Everything was very nice EXCEPT for the air conditioning compressor! It was so loud, kicked on and off often, loudly, that we turned off the system so we could sleep! Seriously, terrible for what we expected from a Hilton, much less one so upscale.

My new go to hotel in VA Beach!
We’re from Norfolk go home to visit a few times a year. I’ve been there for conferences but never to stay. The hotel is beautiful, clean, and the staff is friendly and welcoming. There is plenty to do there such as the restaurant, pools, spa, play area for kids, or just walk around the grounds to look at the gardens. The location is quiet and central to everything being so close to 64. It’s going to be our new spot to stay when we don’t want to bunk with our kids! We went to a concert and it’s really close to the amphitheater.
