Breakfast was nice,convenient and very accessible for a gluten-free child. The one big complaint I have is we had loud noise all night in halls that woke us. I understand a few times, but this an excessive amount.

I was traveling from Louisiana heading to Northern Virginia. With many miles under my belt and many more to follow, I was quite exhausted and ready to rest. On the sure of the moment, I made a reservation at the Hilton. From the front desk on, my stay was stellar!! Cleanliness, efficiency. I will recommend and I will return!
