There was even a small pond with koi fish! A very peaceful quiet place to enjoy nature, go for a walk, read a book on the various benches and tables in the garden, or hang out with a friend.

I think the hall had been recently remodeled. It's in a nice setting and has a nice enclosed back patio for indoor/outdoor use for your event. We had a little confusion over table sizes, but other than that the staff was very professional and kept in touch all along the way. When I wanted to change up floor plans they were so easy to deal with. There is a nice kitchen available as well. The only thing I'd change is the older chairs they have, no helium balloons and nothing on the walls. We improvised and hired 'the balloon man' who did balloons without helium (I'll post pics) we had a great time at this venue!!

We checked in after a fun day at Six Flags Hurricane Harbor, and everything was smooth and welcoming. After heading out for dinner, a widespread power outage hit the area. Unfortunately, the hotel was affected as well. We waited for a couple of hours hoping the power would come back on, but eventually decided to check out. The outage itself wasn't anyone's fault, and that's not why I'm writing this review. What stood out to me was how the hotel staff handled an unexpected situation that was completely beyond their control. A special thank you to Maddie (or Madelyn) at the front desk. She was juggling what I'm sure was a very stressful evening, yet she remained patient, professional, and genuinely kind to everyone she helped. It's easy to provide good service when everything is going smoothly--it's much harder when things go wrong. She handled it with grace, and it did not go unnoticed. Thank you to Maddie and the rest of the team for doing your best under difficult circumstances. Wishing you all much calmer days ahead!

We stayed at the Hilton Concord for one night while my husband was attending a conference at the…read morehotel, and this was one of the most disappointing Hilton stays I've had as a Diamond member. The problems started before I even got inside. There are only four short-term loading spaces directly in front of the hotel, all marked as 10-minute tow-away spaces. All four were occupied when I arrived. I waited more than 20 minutes, and not one vehicle moved. Several hours later, three of the same vehicles were still parked there. The regular gated parking is much farther from the entrance. I was arriving alone with luggage while my husband was already inside at his conference, so I called the hotel to ask whether anyone could assist me with a luggage cart. I was on hold for nearly 10 minutes before reaching the front desk. I was told that luggage assistance was not available. Even more concerning, the front desk employee told me I could park in the clearly posted red-zone fire lane. I was not comfortable doing that. I ultimately had to interrupt my husband's conference so he could come outside and help me. The next morning, I again saw multiple vehicles parked in the fire lane. Because this appeared to be an ongoing issue, I later reported it to the local fire inspector. The room itself had reasonably updated finishes, so I would not call the entire room dated. But the HVAC unit was ancient. My husband entered the room around 1 PM and said it was approximately 80 degrees inside with the AC off. He immediately turned it on and closed the blinds. After running for most of the day, the room was still around 71 degrees late that evening even though it was only in the low 60s outside. It eventually reached 70. I documented the thermostat showing 70 degrees with the system on COOL and the fan on HIGH. The bathroom was also extremely cramped, especially the shower. I was surprised to learn from the front desk that the Executive Lounge has apparently been closed since before COVID. The printed information provided at check-in also stated that housekeeping is only provided every fourth day, and that same-day service must be requested by 1 PM and is "refresh only." That did not affect our one-night stay, but it certainly would have mattered on a longer stay. The overall atmosphere felt badly understaffed and stripped-down for a full Hilton-branded property. The amenities felt limited, and even at the rate we paid, I did not feel the stay represented good value. I raised the issues with Hilton Guest Assistance afterward. Hilton ultimately provided service recovery, which I appreciated, but getting there required repeated follow-up. I never received direct contact from hotel management, and the hotel's initial response contained factual discrepancies that I had to correct through Hilton. I want to be fair that the employee I dealt with was not personally unpleasant, and the room finishes themselves were generally updated. My complaint is with the overall operation, staffing, maintenance, amenities, and management response. Based on this experience, I would not stay here again.
