same as before - for better or worse
I used to frequent the Hilton Garden Inn in the past, and I recently returned there, and found the hotel pretty much the same. The double queen bed room was spacious and clean, but with some visible wear and tear. A noisy fridge that I had to disconnect, the same cheap coffee maker and microwave that have seen better days. The gym definitely needs an update. Overall, still a fine place to stay, but there are many new alternatives in the area that I may try next time.

Two glitches in an otherwise good stay
We've stayed here many times. There were 2 glitches this time. (1) The 2 lights above the shelf between the beds did not work. (2) The alarm clock in the unoccupied room next door went off very early. There was no one to turn it off. I have told the desk clerk before to have the maids turn off all alarm settings, but that policy apparently is not being universally followed.
