The pool was closed for maintenance unfortunately. Apparently it has been out for over 5 months. We also got charged just to sit down in the dining area which I found to be absurd. The establishment itself is very well maintained, but lacked in other areas. Will not stay here again.

First thing at check in they were giving water out to few choice guest that were hilton honors members. I asked for a few waters and was denied it has been 98 degrees every day here and we couldn't even get a water which is pretty sad! Also our room is just so basic 2 lights dont work and the toilet is the loudest one ive ever heard.

The hotel was quite basic and everything felt very old. It was clean, which we appreciated, but honestly, I expected more for the price. Maybe it’s just because it’s a very small town with limited service options. We stayed one night with our child on the way to New York — it was okay for a stopover. The breakfast was very minimal.

Slow and unfriendly check in dirty shower

The desk person ignored me while she was waiting in the phone and even after she was done. It took a very long time to check in and she got confused about the reservation and had to go find someone to ask what to do. Just being polite would have gone a long way but it was like I wasn’t even there. The bathroom shower was dirty also

Last-minute stay, worth it!

The reservation process went smoothly as well as check-in. The front end staff were warm and welcoming, and explained all amenities clearly. The receptionist gave me the option to choose my room based on the floors. When I changed my mind about the room that I had initially chosen (didn’t like that the HVAC units were under the window), she accommodated me and assigned me to another room. The room was so comfortable and had a nice view. Cozy room! Nice, clean! Loved the hot shower as well. I will definitely book again in the future.

Close to campus & coffee

Entrance was odd. It is in the same building as a Home2 so they shared a parking lot. The paint scheme showed the difference, but I still walked past the door. It is located right at the corner of the building on the parking lot side (not street side). Props to the young lady working the front desk. I was a single female checking in. She asked if I had a floor preference. She did NOT say my room number out loud (yay!) and made sure I had everything I needed before leaving the check in. Breakfast is available, but extra.

Okay Hilton

Staff were nice. Room was clean and the bed was comfortable enough. The only issue was that the shampoo, condiotioner and body wash were empty when we got to the room. The pool was cold.
