Pool was dirty, elevator smelled like a dirty vaccume bag, room had lady bugs and fleas, fridge was so iced up it barely worked, 1 key didnt work the entire 2 day stay,bathroom tile had a soap scum ring in the shower, evening staff not very welcoming, trash in the fold out bed, unexpected fee but will be revered if nothing is wrong upon check out. It was quiet. Waitstaff for breakfast was nice.

This hotel is extremely antiquated. However, the staff running this hotel were excellent. If the hotel building were updated, it would feel like a 4-5 star hotel. It’s just the facility itself is falling apart.

Have stayed quite a few times at this HGI and it never disappoints. Friendly and professional front desk. Pleasant cook and server. Comfortable rooms. Plenty of outside room to enjoy the weather. I would like to see the pool cleaner. Just always seems to have too much debris in it. Granted, the storms do add to it, but too, a lot seems to be dirt. Also, it is located in the midst of shopping and dining.

Overnight stop on a trip. Everything was as expected. Breakfast was nice and cooked to order. Everyone was friendly and welcoming. Only issues was some cleanliness in the bathroom; it could have been done better with a few stray hairs and some slight spots of mold on the ceiling. I didn't raise an issue because it was just for one night.

It was conveniently located. For the expense and brand expectation of the Hilton, the room itself was outdated, dirty bathroom with rust and mold in the shower and toilet. No room service/cleaning unless you stay for more than 4 days. The fridge was leaking and it just seemed gross. The bedding was subpar and the bed slept well.

Check in was a bit of a hiccup because we called earlier that day and were told we could most definitely check in at 1:00. We arrived at 3:30 and were told we had to wait due to the night before having a full house and workers calling out. We were able to check in and our toilet bowl area had not need cleaned. Someone did come and clean it but that was a setback. The rest of the stay was great.

When we arrived, we checked in and went to our room where we noticed it was a double queen room that was handicap accessible. I booked a king regular room. I went back to the person that checked us in and he said it came through their system that we booked a double queen. I even showed him my confirmation that is was supposed to be a king. He stated there were no king rooms available. We didn’t have time to look for anywhere else so we just accepted the room. One of the shower knobs fell off as soon as I touched it. Not the most updated to cleanest looking rooms. Don’t plan on staying there again.

Overall a good place to stay. T.V.s could use an update. We had an issue with the t.v. in the first room. The t.v. worked but had a very strong blue color to the picture. The t.v. in the second room they changed us to was better. Although the guide showed no information on what was actually playing on the TV.

Reception was not enthusiastic, felt as though she really didn't want to work, and anything asked was not received well on her part. The later person we met, young man, was energetic and willing to go that extra yard to please. Everything, including water there was a charge for. Not that upscale to have those "charges".

I made a reservation through Travelocity 2 weeks in advance only to be called the day I was checking in and be told they had oversold their rooms and did not have one available for our family. I was in town for a travel baseball tournament and had to scramble to find somewhere to stay for myself, my wife and 3 kids. Thankfully Sleep Inn was available and they were great. I was very disappointed with Hilton Garden Inn.

Everything was great except the fact that it was advertised as “breakfast INCLUDED”. When we check in we were told that breakfast was not included. I went back and looked at the hotel.com website deep into the description it said breakfast available. Very misleading. Other than that the hotel was great.

Breakfast was supposed to be included. When we went to the dining area everything was priced a la carte and cooked to order. When we asked about the breakfast nobody mentioned it would be charged to your room, then the charge removed later after checkout. I did not find this out until i checked out, asked at the desk. To late mow.
