Reviews
As a Diamond member, complimentary upgrades are supposed to be a perk. So naturally, I asked. I was offered one… for $300 a night. Just a gentle reminder the room was already $900 a night. Nothing says loyalty appreciation quite like a four figure nightly rate before the upgrade. Appalling!
Breakfast was another adventure. There’s no real side menu, and since I don’t eat meat, I asked for something simple like two eggs. Their solution was Eggs Your Way for $27… just without the meat or bread. So essentially $27 for two eggs. Hopefully, there is gold in the eggs. I opted for no breakfast and just coffee! I spent $24 on a coffee in Rome once so I guess $8 is fair. What do you think? Keep in mind, the latte was $7. I might have been taken advantage of here but you can be the judge.
Late checkout is also supposed to be a perk. My flight was at 3 PM so, again, I asked. They were happy to offer it… for $50. Because apparently loyalty perks don’t exist here.
It’s honestly sad, because the property itself is gorgeous and the staff are great. But the constant upselling makes the whole stay feel transactional instead of luxurious. Four Seasons, The Ritz, and even the Signia manage to deliver high end experiences without making you feel like you’re negotiating every basic perk I’m supposed to get.
As someone who spends tens of thousands with Hilton every year, this was just pathetic.
Overall, we had a very comfortable stay and are glad we chose this hotel. The room felt modern and functional, and we slept very well. The bathroom was slightly dated, particularly the shower.
Breakfast was enjoyable, though it was quite busy at peak times. There was a nice selection of pastries, and while the variety of vegetables and fruit was somewhat limited, it was sufficient.
We had a pleasant stay and would consider returning in the future.
