Excellent location in Sioux City, with a variety of restaurants near by, and easy access to interstate. The room was very nice, recently remodeled, and clean. The staff at the front desk were friendly and courteous. They have a store you can buy drinks and snacks along with other hygiene items in case you forgot to pack something. Breakfast is included in the stay, and they have a decent sitting area that's not too crowded if you like a quieter morning. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone traveling and needing to find a place that's clean, friendly, and definitely priced at a great value.

Called late and got a room. Front desk person (Greg) was knowledgeable, courteous, professional, and quick. Got right in. Room was clean, beds were comfortable, A/C unit worked, no smells of any kind, can hear doors closing but otherwise very quiet all night, and only Con would be water pressure was a bit on the low side but still give it 5 stars. Got IGH rate so paid $133.28. Check out person was super nice/friendly, professional, and fast. I recommend this place and plan on staying there again in the future.

The rooms were clean, the beds were comfy, the staff great, and the breakfast was awesome, with egg white omelettes, walnut halves for the yogurt, and freshly ground coffee. We really enjoyed it!!!

This Hilton's location on the river is lovely. I arrived very late (around midnight), and the front desk clerk was so accommodating and genuinely enthusiastic about getting me settled. I felt warmly welcomed despite the hour. A special shout-out for the coffee—it was hot, strong, and absolutely perfect. It was exactly what I needed

Everything was neat and clean. First hotel I've been in for a while that didn't have something falling apart or icky. Front desk personnel were courteous and professional. Good breakfast. Loved the 24-hr bean-to-brew coffee. Getting into the parking lot from the interstate could be a bit of a challenge, but Google maps got us there.
