Beautiful room with high ceilings and large appliances. On-site parking lot was an additional cost. There was also no one at the front desk when we wanted to check out and ask for a copy of the receipt. There was no way of getting a hold of someone to ask for this.

Overall property and room were nice and clean. The beds are fairly comfortable. The staff are friendly and helpful. The parking ramp is conveniently tied to the hotel, and within walking distance to restaurants making driving unnecessary. The few drawbacks were noise related: the air conditioners are fairly loud when they kick in, but may be used to help drown out the second noise related issue: noise from other rooms which seem to be carried through shared vents. So whether it’s a constant droning noise, or sounds that you can tap your feet to, the Hilton Garden Inn’s got you covered.
