I got there from out of town with my baby late at night and the receptionist was more worried about me having a parking pass, when she could clearly see that my baby was disgruntled and crying and said that my vehicle would get towed or ticketed I’ve stayed at many Hiltons and have never had to have a parking pass in my vehicle. Other than that my stay was good.
