Excellent service
The service staff were excellent and always responsive to our concerns. I especially liked having a suite to stay in--the rooms were spacious and clean. However, I only gave a four star review for the following reasons: 1. The $25/day mandatory spending is ridiculous. I have never heard of such a thing. I would rather you charge us the $25 in the price, which more honestly reflects the price of the stay. 2. The WiFi speed was mediocre at times. Other than those two concerns, we had a great stay and would come again.

Didn't enjoy being asked every time I walked to the elevator, or had breakfast, if I was a Hilton Honors member and if I would like more points. The $25 "hotel tax" that "allows" is to purchase up to $25 on food and drink in their gift shop is also a joke.

Comfortable and walkable. Staff is amazing.
Pros: hotel staff was amazing the entire stay, breakfast was delicious, area was walkable and safe to Midway and Little Italy, rooms were comfotable and roomy, everything was very clean, getting part of the fees back in money at the gift shop was fun and a nice touch. Cons: there were a few minor things about the room (missing extra bedding.for pull out, microwave didnt work, we ran out of toilet paper on day 2) that the staff addressed immediately. The drain in the bathtub wouldnt stay up and we had to wedge something under it when we showered. It was minor inconveniences. We would stay here again and recommend it to others.

Not much to do around the hotel itself, but can walk to the USS Midway easily. No beaches nearby. There is a mandatory 25$ resort fee that can be used on property. Just don’t use any leftover money to tip. That is not included. Only one dining option. The restaurant food was good, though they do remind you that you have 25$ to spend. They don’t say not part of the tip. As I was leaving the property I read the handout they give at check in that stated- 25$ cannot be used on tips or alcohol. Would have been nice if the front desk person said that instead of having to find out after the fact. Room was clean, breakfast area was nice, breakfast staff were awesome.
