I travel a LOT and this is one of my favorite Hitons to stay at. I am here quite often and it almost feels like home! The rooms are nice and the restaurant (The Refinery) is amazing. Great food and excellent service. James, Moriah, and the rest always greet you and are willing to do anything to make your stay the best it can be. My only wish is that there would be a TV guide in the rooms--finding stations is difficult or maybe I am missing something :) Great Job team Auburn! Y'all always make me feel at home!

The hotel and the staff are really amazing. The only thing lacking over the week was the room service. The trash was missed a few days in row and the bed was only made 2 of 6 nights, the day after I arrived and the day before I left. I would’ve give 4 stars if that gets corrected.

I didn't stay but I did attend a workshop. I wish there was an entrance closer but it was very comfortable set up. Easy to hear and see the presentation by John Murphy from Safe Harbor Wills and Trusts.

Well located, but more importantly the staff was warm and friendly and went out of their way to take good care of me. Really excellent food choices to purchase at the front desk, and a first-rate buffet and cooked-to-order breakfast. Without question, this was the best traveler’s hotel breakfast offerings that I’ve seen. The onsite restaurant was also quite good. Every member of the staff went the extra mile, and with a genuine smile.
