Issue, but fixed immediately
When we checked in and got to the room, it was uncleaned and unmade. However, front desk fixed issue immediately. Moved us to another room and everything good after that.

Average place
Checkin was ok. The person didn’t really tell us anything about the property, WiFi, or anything. They did come to our room as the WiFi didn’t work and offered to move us. Very friendly after we mentioned a couple issues. Phone didn’t work, toilet paper holder broken, spiders in room.

I chose the Garden Inn because of past experiences of lovely breakfasts in a relaxed atmosphere where I could treat guests to lovely service and food. That is no longer. The atmosphere is no longer welcoming and the food is no longer good.

Nice and quiet property. I liked the breakfast served at the table. Also, the reusable plates and silverware are environment-friendly as compared to the garbage production using disposable plates that most hotels do. The gym could use a bit cleaning, though.

I recently traveled to the area for a family funeral from California. chose this location because it had a bathtub and that was a necessity for me. I could have picked a more economical hotel in the area but it only offered a shower. The Hilton had a fire in the broiler room which resulted in no hot water for over 36 hours. I contacted the staff and they continued to tell me the water would be on in a couple of hours several different times. My two night stay was awful and very unsanitary. After speaking with Tim, the manager, I was reassure that they would be refunding me but no refund was ever issued. Tim expressed reassurance that he sent an email and that the refund would be granted. However, two weeks later still no refund or contact from the Hilton. This is unacceptable customer service from a company that I previously respected. Shame on them for not completing their promise to make things right.

With it being so expensive it was probably the worst hotel I've ever stayed it. The beds were hard and the pillows smooshed down to paper thin. For being $300 a night you could actually have a continental breakfast
