Very nice and clean hotel

Very clean and bright hotel lobby. Room bed and AC are comfortable. Staff is friendly and helpful. Breakfast buffet or a la carte is tasty. Ample parking.The only downside is the Business Center doesn’t have any computer to print necessary documents.

Great alternative to Hampton Inn Old Orchard

We used to stay at another Hilton- Old Orchard Hampton inn when we visited family. However, they stopped doing room service on a daily basis which seemed really cheap. So, we were hesitant to stay at another Hilton. However, this one exceeded expectations. Lobby much nicer, great service and housekeeping was daily and lasted throughout the day. Just as affordable, but much nicer and seemed better quality overall.
