Hotel berhampiran North Hero State Park, North Hero

As a Hilton Honors Diamond member for many years, I enjoy staying in different properties across the Hilton portfolio. I also travel exclusively by Amtrak, and with St. Albans being the end of the line, having any Hilton family hotel so close to the station is a big plus for me. A long planned trip finally brought me to t his property earlier this week. While yes it's a bit pricey, we're also in a period of inflation and now recession so I dealt with it. Thinking of it as more points to earn so that I can stay elsewhere for free (or a re-visit here) made it much better. As always with Hilton properties, I did an online check-in the day before and chose my room. Hilton encourages members to skip the front desk and go directly to their rooms with the digital key. I figured on returning later to get my water and snack. However, as what I believe is a cost saving measure, upon entering my room with the digital key, I found that a plastic card is necessary if one wants electric power. So in the dark I left my luggage and returned downstairs to the desk. This was my only nit, that had I known of this I would have stopped at the front desk upon arrival. This defeats the purpose of the digital key, so perhaps the electricity could be re-worked to also activate with one's phone. Back at the desk I was greeted and I explained what had happened. The staff was very friendly and professional, and I was welcomed and my status was recognized. Back in my room now with lights and TV, I found there to be ample space for my belongings and a comfortable desk and chair to work on my computer. The bathroom was bright and also had good counter space for my toiletries. No issues hot water for my morning shower. I did have a good sleep and woke up refreshed. Breakfast was everything that can be expected from a Hampton Inn. I had plenty of scrambled eggs to sustain myself until a late afternoon meal on the train. Check-out was as professional as check-in, and when I mentioned I was departing on Amtrak, I was even reminded of its 9:15 AM departure time with a smile. Being near a train track, one can expect to hear train horns. While Amtrak is only there twice a day, freight trains do use the line as well so there might be other sounds. Overall, it was a wonderful stay, and should I take this trip again I would definitely stay at the property again.... and check-in in person.

We stayed one night over the Memorial Day Weekend. We stayed in one of the renovated third floor (2 Queen) rooms. It was very clean, updated, spacious, and comfortable. The staff were all attentive and friendly. The grounds and lobby were neat and attractive, the breakfast area was clean. The breakfast was just average and not well-suited for people with special dietary needs, but the 24 hour coffee is a plus! Easy highway access and close to town, as well. We appreciated not having a multiple minimum night stay, even thought it was a long weekend. The price was very fair. We would stay again for sure.

Good hotel ~ reasonably priced & in close distance to all. I was a little leary as this hotel was on the cheaper side but it was perfect. Very clean ~ comfy bed & pillows, warm shower & nice continental breakfast. Close to my son's SUNY dorm & I will definitely stay here again. Only down thing was the walls are thin & we were next to the ”loud talking” family lol.
