Affordable and very nice!
Very pleased. The minute I walked in the staff was friendly and helpful. No issue with check in. Room is small for a 2 queen bed but was clean so I'll take it.
Pool is warm and nice. Not big so don't recommend if you're traveling with a big family due to the space.
Happy that parking was complimentary.

You have to be with a comp to get a shuttle
We had booked this hotel because we were in Boston overnight and it stated in the booking that there was a shuttle to/from the airport. When I called the hotel the person on the other end of the phone said “no it’s for corporate people only”. We spent $86 for a cab to get to the hotel. When we got there, I said something to the woman at the front desk that it’s not correct information on the booking if the shuttle is only for “corporate” people. I wanted to talk to her in person and understand why. The girl changed the subject, gave us a room and 2 bottles of water and that was it

Restaurant below par
I picked this hotel since it was near a family wedding and has a restaurant in the hotel. We booked 4 rooms altogether. After a lovely afternoon wedding we went to restaurant for some food and drinks. After an hour and a half and asking where the food was we ordered twice they said the kitchen was closed and sorry the order didn’t go through. I had someone with a medical condition that needed more than a bag of chips before bed So we ended up eating snacks from our room in restaurant. Manager apologized but that was all. Not that I expect anything but feel like we didn’t matter.

My husband arrived late in the evening approximately 12 am. with a reservation I had made through Expedia. He had my credit card with him. Front desk staff needed to call me and get my approval vis FaceTime. I was asked to show them my proof of identity to give him the keys to the room ( I was not with him in this trip). They had the reservation number. I assume this is protocol however we experienced them as disrespectful and extremely rude. They questioned my husband as to why he did not have his credit card which is absolutely irrelevant to the stay or to check in when a room is pre paid. The credit card was simply to show the card the reservation was booked with and for the incidental deposit. We have dine this when travelling and never had an issue. The treatment with suspicion and disrespectful tone was unbecoming of a Hilton property. We will not book with Hilton again anywhere.

This would be the last time I will spend my night in this hotel, first of all when I arrive to the location the staff was not welcoming, first they gave a two bed bedroom when my reservation was for a king bed when told the staff that was not what i booked, he told me he couldnt change it because he had to give me whatever was left for the night. He even told me rudely to cancel the booking if i didnt want to take the 2 bed bedroom. Very disappointed with this hotel, i rating will be an star.
