The outdoor seating area was marvelous. They were hosting 2-3 large events, the parking lots were overflowing in front but there was disabled parking close enough at a back door. Despite the large parties it was quiet and nice. The parties were held on the opposite side of the hotel. I was impressed.

Facility was very nice, we loved the patio area and fire pits. But the beds are TERRIBLE. They are very hard, both my husband and I woke up with sore backs both mornings we stayed there. Also, our thermostat would not go lower than 70 degrees, although we tried to set it lower while we were sleeping. It was not hot outside while we stayed, either, so I know that was not a factor.

Area safe. Quiet, didnt have any noise issues. Our room wasnt cleaned well. There was a wad of hair on top of the shower drain when we arrived. The fitted sheets were too small for the bed and kept riding up. A piece of tile was coming up in the bathroom and it looked like dark mold growing under it. The hot tub was under maintenence. and had apparently been so for a while now.. Carpet was coming up in the elevators. You have to pay for breakfast, which is super lame. Staff was friendly, had no issues there.

We had to change our reservation the week before our stay due to a rescheduled women's basketball game. We were still able to stay at Hilton Garden Inn but not in the same type of room, two queen beds. Instead our room was a handicap accessible room which was very spacious. My only complaints are that there was not a shower curtain which made for a wet mess after a shower. Not sure how to use the shower without water spraying out of the shower. The room appeared and felt clean, although, when my husband was taking our extra beverages out of the mini fridge in the morning we discovered a container of uneaten ice cream and a container which appeared to be ice cream topping. Not sure how many guests stayed or if it was the previous guest that left it.
