Hilton Garden Inn Evansville

My family and I have always enjoyed staying at Hilton Garden Inn locations. Historically, we've found them to be clean, comfortable, and staffed by top-tier teams. Unfortunately, our stay last night was a complete departure from that standard, marked by alarming safety concerns and a severe lack of operational security. ​Upon check-in, the employee at the front desk visibly upset—informed my daughter and me that a threat had just been called into the hotel. While she mentioned she believed it was likely a YouTube prank, it was unsettling to hear upon arrival. We checked into our room, went down for a swim and a dip in the hot tub, and everything initially seemed fine. ​However, around 11:00 PM, someone aggressively rammed our room door in a direct attempt to break in. Thank God I had used the internal deadbolt and security latch, or they would have gained entry into our room with my daughter and me inside. ​I immediately called the front desk. The gentleman who answered said he would be right up to check. After waiting 15 minutes with no updates or presence, I called back down. He informed me he didn't catch anyone and speculated they must have left the 2nd floor before he arrived. His guidance to us was simply: "If it happens again, just call the cops." ​To be told by hotel management to call local police ourselves after an active attempted break-in—with zero visible security effort or follow-up from staff is completely unacceptable. Disappointed to say the least.

Clean rooms, comfortable beds, friendly staff.

Everything was great. The price of food and drinks are extremely overpriced. I hope they pay the food service staff well because the price justification needs must be salary based.

The breakfast to me was for consumption. There were children playing in the fruit with their hands,the bacon was over cooked and there was a $14 charge for the buffet. The cashier was very nice and only charged for what we got. The room was very nice.

Always a good place to stay no matter which city I traveled to.
