Genuine, friendly and professional staff. Shannon, Stacy, and the Chef were very accommodating. Even though it is clearly under construction, the room was clean and comfortable. The salad I ordered for dinner from the restaurant was delicious!!! Stacy, the server, was eager to help me with my order and it was quick! Thank you for the great customer service, it was a pleasant experience for a simple overnight stay!

This is an excellent little hotel.
Very clean and comfortable and the staff are very friendly, accommodating, and helpful.
There is tons of parking and plenty of green space to take a walk and for pets to play. They have garbage cans for pet waste outside which is very convenient and sanitary.
The little restaurant is actually quite good. The service was great and our food was quite tasty. The prices were good as well.
The location is literally right next to Mercer University.
Five Stars from me!

I would like to share my concerns about this Hilton at Mercer.
I checked out of your facility one week ago 1/1/2026. This facility should not be allowed to put the name "Hilton" on this establishment, because the rooms are far below standard of a true Hilton property. The hotel is very old and to your credit they are renovating; However the bed rooms are dark and dirty. The water would not drain in the sink or the tub and worse the water was would not get hot, not matter how long you allowed it to run. The water is luke warm and again it does not drain out of the sink or the tub. The television was not working and despite two attempts from their maintenance person to repair it (after calling the front desk multiple times), I never received a connection to watch television.
Despite the bad service the staff was nice but I was disappointed that they did not offer to adjust my price. I paid more than $200 for one night to stay in a hotel that did not meet the standards of a Motel 6. I will never stay in this hotel again; Unfortunately, this is the town with the Rhythm and Ralley Pickleball sports facility, that hosts major Pickleball tournaments, so I am forced to visit the area multiple times again this year, but I will be staying somewhere different.
This is honestly my first time really thinking that maybe the days when "Hilton" meant luxury are long past.
