Very nice property. Feels like a north woods lodge. Staff was so kind and accommodating Pool is beautiful but pool needs refinishing. Love the warm water. Rooms are very nice but toilets need to be upgraded to ada height. Many restaurant option within waking distance

9.6/10 Exceptional! (1,037 reviews)
This is our second time staying here. It feels like a 5 star hotel. The details in the decor are unique and well designed. The bed and bedding is comfortable. I love the lobby, large and spacious with lots of seating options for gatherings small or large.
Great restaurant, Proudfoot and Bird with a bar that has great happy hour from 2-6 daily. The happy hour has great food options, not so much for drinks on special.
The HOBNob restaurant for breakfast is ok, but service there is slow.
Will definitely stay there again.
Great price for the quality of the hotel.

Nice front desk staff. Large room. King-size bed was comfortable. Water pressure in the shower was good, although I had to run the water quite a while before it became hot. Having a kitchen was very helpful. I appreciated the full-size refrigerator and the dishes in the cupboards. The TV in the living area would not connect to the Internet so I could not watch Netflix there, but the TV in the bedroom was fine. The breakfast had some really nice choices, more than typical. There were some signs of wear in the hotel room, but nothing that would keep me from staying there again. Great location for walking to downtown events, restaurants, and bars.

From entry to exit, we felt taken care of and appreciated to being Hilton's guest. Christmas decor and perfect volume to lobby music can always capture the feeling of 'Escape' from hustle & bustle. Thank you, Hilton!

Only thing I'd say needed to be done is I've noticed not every room has an ice bucket & don't understand the 3 pillow thing either.
