We enjoyed our stay at Hilton Garden in, it's basically just off the highway in the middle of a strip mall but you wouldn't know this once you are inside. It's a little oasis in a sea of concrete. The rooms were lovely and the beds very comfortable. The staff were very helpful at the front desk and it was a bonus to have a small pool and gym. We were especially impressed by one staff member (I wish I could remember his name) who accommodated our needs at the bar after 9pm. It's a great base to...

Upon arrival our 2 rooms were upgraded from the 3rd floor to 2nd (main) floor and a refrigerator was delivered for our convenience. We were pleasantly surprised at the quality and quantity of breakfast items we discovered both mornings; including fresh apricots! Would highly recommend the Inn and the variety of delightful restaurants within walking distance. Our favorites, as always, are Tin Pan Galley and Good Fellos!

I booked this place for my husband and a friend who were going salmon fishing, and both of them couldn't stop talking about how great the place was. It was clean, it was modern, and the rooms were spacious. The towels were high quality and "amazing" and the service was fantastic. My husband met the owner(s), and said they were as great as the place. A true gem we were lucky to find, and one we will definitely be visiting again soon.
