Decent stay

Parking in the deck was convenient as otherwise, parking in the area can be painful. Checkin at the desk was laborious. We stood for several minutes with no other customer present while the staff talked amongst themselves. Finally checked in, we found the room (double with two queen beds) comfortable, clean and quiet overall. We had dinner delivered with Door Dash so I cannot comment on the on site dining. Checkout was uneventful. Would stay again.

Worst Hotel I've Stayed at since college

Conveniently located near the college with easy access to major highways but despite some renovations, this location is showing its age. We had a loud AC unit that needed service and was found to be heavily clogged and had mold on the cover. Given the many other options, would not return especially with no free parking. Was OK, not great. Staff were friendly.

Great place to stay regardless of why you’re in!

My husband and a few of our friends were hitting up the Phish show they were having Saturday and Sunday. The hotel workers were aware of the concert event, and asked about both shows! The hotel staff was on it with everything, the pool was extremely relaxing and the outside area neat and next to the pool offered plenty of shade and comfortable seating. I really enjoyed my 2 nights I spent here for two of the neat public performances I’ve ever seen! Thank you Hilton and thank you Phish for giving us a magical experiences!
