Are you kidding me?!?!?

Wow, I was not impressed with this hotel!! I could've stayed another night at a different hotel downtown and had a better & cheaper room, that actually had a refrigerator and a blow dryer!! Our room did not. It was very plain-jane, except for the travertine tile in the cramped bath. Not to mention that the Hilton El Conquistador website does not tell you that they will charge you an additional $25 per person to use the pool areas if they aren't an actual 'guest' in the hotel!!!!! Well, they are my guests, and I'm paying for the amenities, the drinks and food by the pool for them, etc.!! We also had to go all the way through a whole building to get to our building in the middle of the resort. All of us staying there (and others there for our daughters College graduation party) were so stressed out after check-in it nearly ruined our evening -- but because we prepaid, we stayed. I will say that the view of the Catalinas at sunset were spectacular. And, the pool areas were very nice, and clean. The lobby area is inviting also with the nice boutiques.
