The location of the Hilton Downtown can't be beat - you can walk everywhere you'd want to go. We had a view from our room, so it was wonderful to watch the lake change with the light at different times of day. The room was comfortable and clean. The lobby is inviting on a chilly night, and we enjoyed the breakfast. The kids were delighted to have a pool to swim in - it was nice and warm. The staff was very responsive and helpful when I needed to address some issues with my bill and when we realized we had left our son's coat behind. It was a bit more than the hotels in South Burlington but in my opinion you can't beat being able to walk to the lake and all the city has to offer. We got a package rate that included breakfast and it was worth it for us. I was a little surprised they only offer valet parking...we opted to use street parking - generally we found unmetered spots within a couple blocks so it wasn't too bad. Overall recommended.

Though my daughter found the sofa bed in the king suite rather uncomfortable, our overall experience was very pleasant. Hotel is in walking distance to Church Street Marketplace, and all downtown Burlington amenities. The hotel lived up to the Hilton brand in service and style.
