Football weekend

Stayed 3 nights. Trash only emptied 1 time and I had to ask for clean washcloths. Expected more from Hilton Garden Inn.

Jessica, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

the bed was very comfortable as was the room... i however did notice a few things that I was not quite impressed with. 1. the grout around the shower could use a good clean and 2. when we went to go get ice in the hotel the bucket that they had provided in the room had some mold growing in it. but other than that this hotel worked perfectly for a weekend get away .

Sheila, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Everything was above the expectations. I was shown breakfast was included prior to booking but still required to pay separately for it. So hotel is a bit pricier than most in the area.

4/10 Fair

The place and location is nice. Unfortunately we booked our stay for 3 nights 4 days and the cleaning was disappointing. We kept asking for towels, shower gel etc. Only once they came to grab garbages out the room. I felt I wasn’t taken care of at all!

Hans, 1-night trip

The staff was great and the room was very clean, but the light fixtures were probably the worst I've ever had in a hotel room. Good luck if you want to do some reading there!
