Done with Hilton, back to Marriott and Holiday Inn.
Pros:

Under construction, food was bad , coffee cold and staff was horrible. They didn’t want to be there and couldn’t care about guests. As a Gold member very disappointed. 👎

Best stay!
Pros:

Was very pleased with everything. The room was very clean and spacious. We ordered food from the Bistro and had it brought to our room. The food was excellent, and the breakfast was delicious. Wish we would of stayed there on the way out to Maryland. We will definitely be looking for Hilton Garden Inn whenever we go out of town and need a place to stay. Plus it's dog friendly!
