Pros (+) Common areas clean & well kept. Standard Hilton Garden Inn layout means everything is where you expect it. Liked the on property restaurant and bar. As a tradition, we always have one night where we bring pizza in on the patio and sit with family & talk for a few hours, and the staff was very accommodating for that as usual.

The front desk staff need to be trained on providing a warm welcome. A simple smile and "Welcome to the Hilton Garden Inn. How may I help?" Having stayed at many Hilton properties throughout the wor...

Cons (-) Breakfast was a bit weird. Confusing and understaffed. The folks that were working were great, just not enough of them. Thought $12 was a bit much for what Is usually a complimentary breakfast in similar settings.
