Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel offers spacious rooms that are very clean, although they feel a bit old. The bathrooms are small with poor lighting, but the front of the room is enormous and not standard for Hilton Garden Inn. The location is perfect for exploring nearby attractions and nightlife, but it can get noisy late at night. The dining options are convenient and reasonably priced, especially for Hilton Honors members. Overall, it's a great value for the money.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The room was spacious and comfortable, and I enjoyed a nightcap at the bar. The location was excellent for exploring the nearby attractions. However, the dining options were not complimentary, and the rooftop lounge experience was not as expected.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of highs and lows. The rooms were great, making spending time there enjoyable, but the noise from partying people, motorcycles, and cars with loud radios passing by was a downside. Room 721 was comfortable and had a big, nice shower.
