I wanted this location to work because of its location, but I won't stay here again.
Cons:

No water for purchase anywhere. Limited "vending" options. The in-house Starbucks had nothing besides coffee because the steamer was broken. We were directed to the on-site parking (at 10:30 pm) only to find it was full and difficult to navigate out of in a large vehicle with no where to turn around.

Pros:

Great location near University, within walking distance of many restaurants and bars.

Cons:

Terrible breakfast for $16. Coffee cold and bitter (for free though). Gym/workout facilities were tiny. Not nearly as nice as the Home2Suites Hilton a few blocks away for a bit more, but breakfast is included there.

room was not cleaned or serviced for 5 of those days despite reporting the issue to hotel staff
Pros:

Location is close to university

Cons:

Despite paying in full for the accommodation and the services advertised and expected from a Hilton Garden Inn property, my room was not properly serviced for approximately 5 days during my stay. There was no regular room cleaning or make-up service, and the basic housekeeping standard.

we reported the issue to the hotel staff, but the explanation given was that the hotel was “understaffed.” While I understand that staffing issues can occur, this is an internal operational matter and should not result in guests paying the full room rate while receiving substantially reduced services.

For a 7-night stay, going several consecutive days without proper housekeeping is far below an acceptable hotel standard. We should not have to repeatedly request basic services that are normally part of the accommodation experience.

Clean row,no mention of limited parking and having to park 3 blocks away and carry things from car.N
Pros:

Very clean room

Cons:

To many to name. Left room 1 after 1 night. Room 2 after 3 cuz we couldn’t get another room nearby.
No on site parking available, had to pay and park 3 blocks away. Medically I can not do. It wasn’t a priority or they didn’t care. Terrible front desk help. Would love to stay there because of location and pricing for I need to go but will not be going back because of customer service and parking. No security in a random public garage. Having to walk on city streets with valuables in a city with high murders, rapes and crime. So very dissatisfied. Loooking for refund from booking.com for 45 unused nights.

This place is convenient when we have an elderly family member needing care at the hospital. It just seems expensive for
Pros:

Comfortable and convenient

Cons:

We reserved and paid for 3 people, but only had supplies, like towels and cups for two. Not sure why we paid for three. Parking is expensive.

Paid way too much for the stay we had!
Pros:

I liked how clean the room was, the bathroom was extremely clean!

Cons:

Breakfast was a joke, paid way too much money for the way the bar and breakfast were set up, McDonalds breakfast would’ve been the way to go instead of wasting the time we did.

Pros:

Room looked updated. Building in good repair. Lobby was clean.

Cons:

Stain on comforter that looked like blood or red lipstick. Shower door had thick dirt buildup on bottom. Soap holder inner circle had buildup and grime. Parking ramp was full so we had to park across the street in a parking lot. Several one way streets around so difficult to navigate. Had to cross a busy street to get to the lot on foot to get to and from hotel and was charged $30 to park there.
