I am a frequent Hilton customer and Hilton Honors member, but will avoid this particular hotel in the future. My family stayed here as part of a block of rooms my niece reserved for her wedding The rooms and views were beautiful, and most of the staff were very friendly; however, we were absolutely shocked and appalled as to how the bar manager treated our wedding guests the Friday night before the wedding. My niece had called in advance and was assured the bar/restaurant could accommodate our crowd, as we came in from all over the U.S. for the event. Instead, the bar manager seemed thoroughly annoyed and bothered all night, and began yelling at some of the guests to MOVE away from the entrance, even though we were not blocking anyone from entry. While the bar apparently closes at 11 pm, we were told by the bartenders at 10:15 that the manager announced it was last call. We are not an unruly group. We were just enjoying some drinks and each other’s company since we rarely get the chance to see each other. (My son and I had just been through Hurricane Milton and were just happy to be safe with family.) My brother-in-law civilly asked if he could inquire about the early closing with the bar manager, who then came over loudly announcing that if anyone wanted to know her name, it was Lanesha, and that she would be happy to spell it if someone wanted to complain. My sister, the mother of the bride, also attempted to calmly speak to her privately, explaining that it was her daughter’s wedding, and that her behavior was making us feel unwelcome, and that it seemed like she was angry with us. The manager was apparently very offended by the use of the word “angry,” and became immediately irate, introducing a discussion about race into a situation that had nothing to do with race. She then walked over to the check-in desk and told the receptionist there to tell us to all quiet down and began turning the lights on and off to make us leave. Many had already left at that point, and the few who remained were simply dumbfounded as to what was happening. We asked the bartenders (most who seemed terribly embarrassed) what we had done to offend anyone, and they just uncomfortably explained they thought it might just be a difference in the way people communicate. I then tried to speak to the manager myself, informing her that I would be leaving reviews detailing this incident, to which she responded that she was “being harassed” and was now calling security. Security??? Again, just absolutely shocked—as this was completely unnecessary. To my knowledge, at no time did anyone other than the manager raise their voice or behave in a way that was inappropriate or threatening (check the security video should there be any doubt). The handful of us left walked outside as security showed up. Together, the manager stood laughing with them, clearly unintimidated in any way. My niece, the bride, told the manager on her way out that she had spoken to the hotel in advance re
