The property itself was great, clean and welcoming. The staff was top notch, friendly courteous and very helpful. Day and night shift. Great breakfast selection and friendly cook staff. Parking can be a bit concerning with the dual hotels, fills up fast, but staff made concerns less of a factor when questioned about sfaety.

This is horribly maintained Hilton Home2Suites. Check in staff will not communicate anything including right breakfast time. Had maintenance call twice at front desk for no water in basin and never got maintenance. WiFi was out for 2 days and front desk was trying to convince me it was weather related. Parking is paid even though you park 2 blocks out, and this is not listed in Expedia. Breakfast is a joke and not worth staying at this hotel. Never am I staying at this one

Con: poor signage on property identifying hotel (there are two hotels in the same building and when coming in one direction of Pickens Street it will say ‘Hilton Garden Inn’ and in the other direction it will list ‘Hilton Garden Inn’ and above that on the roof it will have a sign for ‘Home2Suites’. No sign where the front entrance/parking is and the entrance is hidden from Pickens street with a wall around the parking lot. $13 dollars for parking when it was not listed on the property description when I booked! I was not able to call the property to inquire about a reservation/military discount etc the call went straight to a national number who quoted an outrageous price double what was online

The hotel is located in a great spot, the parking can filled up quick, especially if you leave later and night and come back. Not as big of a breakfast spread that other Home 2 suites offer. Only issue with our room was that the body wash and shampoo bottles attached in the shower were completely empty and needed to call to get new ones, other than that a great stay.

I checked in late, put my stuff away and went to bed. After 30 minutes, I felt itching/biting so I turned on the lights. I found that the bed was infested with BEDBUGS! I had to grab my stuff and flee the room. The night clerk was Nice enough to change my room, though it was a downgrade. I had to have everything decontaminated after the trip. NOT ONE WORD of apology or any compensation from the management of the hotel. AVOID THIS HOTEL.

The lobby of the hotel was nice and clean, but when we entered our room it had a weird smell to it and we noticed that both of the sheets on the beds were dirty (covered in hair and had fresh stains). We told the front desk and they changed the sheets immediately. We also had to ask for more toilet paper because they left our room with only a few sheets on the roll. At 4am and at 6am a very loud alarm went off in our room and kept us awake. Upon telling the staff they did not seem surprised, and told us they would look into it. Pretty disappointed with this experience to say the least, wish we would have stayed elsewhere.

Parking was fine. Lobby and entrance areas were maintained. Room has a convenient kitchenette. However exiting the elevator onto the room floor was horrible. Carpet smelled old, damp. Torn curtain dividing room, room were NOT cleaned after leaving & returning. Despite calling & advising the front desk. As a Hilton Honors member, I selected this property because of the brand hence, I could not believe the Hilton brand is associated with this type of poor upkept lack of basic cleaning services. Would not return....EVER!!!!

Staff was pleasant and location was pretty good. I wish more attention to details would have been provided. Breakfast was supposed to be available until 9 but both mornings I went down for just coffee around 8:30-8:45 and coffee had run out. When I asked for coffee I was told “that’s it for the day if we are out.” When I went to my room to make coffee the creamers provided were old, sour and chunky!!! Went to take a shower and BOTH shampoo and conditioner pups were empty. Went to shower second day and there was no hot water. None of this was “trip ruining” but just frustrating.

When I went to open the curtains in the morning, I stepped into the wet carpet around the AC unit. Otherwise the room is comfortable, clean and has everything you need to longer stay.

We made reservations 4 months ahead of time and arrived only to find that the hotel had overbooked and our reservation was moved to a different hotel. We were not notified ahead time!!! We then check in to the new hotel only to discover our two queen bed room was a one king bed. We were traveling with our kids so we needed two beds. Plus the two queen bed room was more expensive. I went to the front desk to let them know we needed a new room only to be told that THEY were booked up and that’s all they had to offer. Again we made our reservation 4 MONTHS ahead of time. They were able to provide a roll away bed. I then went to request additional towels since we were now in a room for 2 people only to be told they only had 2 towels left IN THE ENTIRE HOTEL!!! Remember this is NOT THE HOTEL we had reservations, we were moved to a different hotel without being told ahead of time, then we get a room with 1 bed when we reserved a room with 2 beds since we were traveling with our kids. Then this new hotel is overbooked and can’t provide the type of room we reserved, then when we request additional towels they only had 2 LEFT IN THE ENTIRE HOTEL!!! Our hallway had dirty washcloths on the floor and trash. This is one of the WORST experiences.

Beautiful hotel. Front desk people where nice and helpful. My room had used dishes on counters with liquid inside cups. No towels in room, dirty mirror. I asked the bar to help me unscrew a cork, the bartender mumbles something under his breath and help the next guest. I waited patiently for about 15 minutes, when i asked him again, he mumbled something again and went back to asking the next guest what they needed. Also, the hotel amenties state on the website both hotel site and expedia "free breakfast with stay" i still had to pay 20$ anyways.
