This is a fine hotel in the value-for-money category. Very clean and comfortable furnishings, and we would definitely try this type of Hilton brand again. Perfect for overnight stop while travelling, but keep in mind it is a suburban location, near the Interstate and lots of parking, not trying to be elegant.
