Since this is still the first thing that comes up on a Google search, wanted to add a data point.
I booked here for three nights as a Diamond member, booking through my corporate portal (Concur). At check-in I was told that they no longer offer Diamond upgrades at this property for my corporate rate code. I stay at Hilton properties frequently and this is the first I’ve heard of this. I asked if I’d get my normal points for the stay and I was told “probably”.
The rooms definitely havent been been renovated since any of the above posts and the parking situation doesn’t appear any better. There are a number of Diamond spots outside of the gated area so I assume Diamond members park free, which at $30/nt parking fee is a pretty huge perk. The spots are all still tiny and if I was parking my car (I.e. not a rental) I would seriously consider parking elsewhere to avoid door damage.
The pool appeara functional and full of people.
I’m pretty irritated about the no-upgrades rule since all my stays are for work and if this is something Hilton is rolling out at a larger scale it’ll mean moving my business to Hyatt/Marriott. I don’t want to assume with a single stay but she was pretty confident about it at check-in.

Think I may book the Hyatt Regency instead and just forgo the HH points and benefits.

I would avoid the ES, especially on weekends when it is overrun by families with kids. My first choice would be the HIlton and my second choice the Doubletree. I usually pick the DT because it is cheaper for one night.
