Great customer service

Food was okay at restaurant. Yogurt with granola didn't have much flavor. The waffle was spongy and the breakfast burrito was a little bland. The bed was comfortable. The hotel would check in with me via text. I thought that was really good customer service. I can ask questions via text. Friendly staff. I would stay here again.

This Hilton Garden Inn feels new and fresh. The location is great near the freeway but still very quiet. Service was excellent in every respect. The employees really showed they care for each guest. It has all of the important amenities including a pool and gym. The room was well appointed and comfortable. Great pillows! Gets a highly recommend. Great value!

Disliked: Amenities
At a time when all fees are supposed to listed in charges, I walked in and was pre-charged $20/day for a facility not available for walking in from anything convenient. There is no airport, bus station, or railway for walkers. Everyone has to park on the property from their cars, it is not close to anything. No one asked if I needed parking and assumed, correctly, that I drove there and told me a parking charge would be done for my stay on the credit card I had to present. No one can or would walk to this hotel. It is a way to bill additionally for something that should have been either pre-billed or free according to new fee guidelines! The charge was a total surprise and I wouldn't have stayed there had I known about parking charges. The FTC needs to hear about this. Ed Kosnoski
