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!
