There are a bunch of Hillary reviews here (although none for that particular tent): http://www.trailspace.com/gear/hillary/

The general consensus seems to be that they're spacious, but hard to set up, not waterproof, and easily damaged by wind. That goes for most "store brand" tents, including Hillary (Sears), Ozark Trail (Wal-Mart), and Northwest Territory (Kmart).

I'd lean toward a tent by an established company. Kelty, Eureka!, and Coleman all make large family-camping tents of reasonable quality.
