For it being a Hilton Garden, it really wasn’t that nice. Also, it was never stated anywhere that their pool/hotub was shut down for renovation. It was the only reason I booked them cause they were the only ones in that area that had an indoor pool. I would have stayed somewhere cheaper had I known.

I’ve been staying at this hotel for over 5 years. The hotel’s condition is terrible. The floors are soiled, bathrooms are dirty and many fixtures are in need of repair. Pool had algae growing in it. Walls had dirt and grime on them. Bed linens were clean, but stained and disgusting. The only positive thing was the staff serving breakfast— they were great. It’s time to shut down and remodel or you risk hurting the Hilton brand name. Won’t be staying there again.

The indoor pool and hot tub were out of service. I called and asked about this specifically. These two amenities was the reason we chose this hotel, only to learn out of order once we arrived.

We were looking forward to using the pool, but it was closed the entire weekend/stay. Had we known that when we booked, we would have booked somewhere else because we have a 2 year old that we promised swimming to.

The stay was horrible, one computer working when I got there and after 10 min of waiting she finally said I will check you out in the office. That took another 10 minutes. Both elevators inspections were out of date (10/12/24) and when I got back after a long day I went to get ice, my key card got stuck in the door, had to walk back downstairs and tell them and the girl at the desk was calling for the maintenance man and she didn’t even have the walker talkie on while she was texting the same time in her phone. She acted as if she could care less, the maintenance guy came up and he couldn’t get the card out and how to pry the door open, I had to pack everything up, move across the hall and the girl from the from the desk that had come up to give me a new key, neither the green nor red light on the key reader worked. Then for a $200 room, breakfast was $15 l!!! Whoever the manager is should be fired. I will never stay there again and I have told everyone not to stay there and I have a lot of friends that go to Starkville!!

3 stars. The staff at this hotel are very friendly and welcoming. The problem is that the hotel desperately needs upgrades. I booked it because it has an indoor pool, and I have children. The pool was out of order. Looking through past reviews, this happens a lot with the pool. The beds are so uncomfortable. The mattresses are old, and the room smells musty.

The first room we stayed in had clearly not been cleaned. Garbage in the trash and the bed smelled like the last person who slept there with stains on the sheets. We were moved to another room that was a little better but still.. luckily we didn’t have to stay but for a few hours before getting back on the road.

The price does not match the condition of the hotel. The bathroom was disgusting, the toilet was rusted, mildew and soap scum was all over the shower walls, it smelled horrible, the refrigerator did not work and the iron leaked rusty water on my clothes!!! Very disappointed and I will NOT BE BACK!!!

I was disappointed that breakfast was not included with the cost. Our room only got cleaned once (it was scheduled for a daily clean) our door was difficult to open and I found a roach at the coffee pots in the loby. I caught it in a napkin and gave it to a staff member. Beds were too hard ans uncomfortable and the enameled was missing on part of the bathtub. Rooms needs to be upgraded.

Normally, I don’t have any problems here, but this particular time I did. When I got there the staff told me no “King rooms” were available. I sat in the lobby and someone after me came in about 15 minutes afterward, signed right into a King! And the staff that told me no rooms were available, gathered her belonging walked out, went home without telling me anything. Well, I went back to the front desk and the other attendant acted as if she didn’t want to help me! Finally, I got signed in!

While the property was safe and of average quality, the hotel front desk staff were not only incompetent but also unprofessional as I was initially charged an exorbitantly high rate and after booking online, staff twice neglected to authenticate my room keys, which caused an unpleasant and inconvenient experience. To add insult to injury, the staff insisted that I verify my room key by using an alternative exit door to leave the premises and use to key to reenter the building. This was an unfortunate encounter and the front desk staff should receive better training.

Hotel was clean and convenient. I did not appreciate the fact that I was told complimentary and when we went to the breakfast area the next morning I was told by a severely pushy and wired employee that it was $15 per person as if I was trying to steal breakfast. I spent too much time having to go back and forth clearing it up. She even had the nerve to ask for a tip! But I will say the night time bartender/server was very nice, friendly and deserving of the tip he received.

Everyone was friendly. The checkin went great. Beds were okay comfortable. The worst part is they want you to pay for breakfast. We paid over $300 for a room because of game night and then you have to pay $15 a person for breakfast. I think that’s a little ridiculous.
