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.
