Our TV did not work or the phone or the lights or the frig. They did move us to another room and those things worked in it. I believe there was issues they did not know about. The staff was friendly and both rooms were clean.

The location was great. The building is not taken care of. There was quite a bit of paint chipping in our room. There was little to no water pressure. The toilet wouldn’t flush properly. A shelf within the shower we’re hanging loose almost falling off. Our room was never cleaned. There was a sign at one point that said they would not make our beds because they were not allowed to touch our property. We had brought our own pillows. That was the only thing on the bed. We had to continually ask for towels because our room was never cleaned. The breakfast was below average and there was supposed to be a pancake maker, but it was out of order. There was also a light flashing on her phone to indicate there was a voicemail left and front desk basically told us there was no way to shut it off so we had to unplug the phone. We definitely would not stay here again.

Found a giant roach in my room. Refused to stay the night there so I had to pay for another hotel. They still haven’t given me a refund. Expedia won’t give me a refund either. I book several domestic and international trips a year and have never had this problem. So disappointed.

The staff did move us and were very courteous about finding another room for us to move to. Unfortunately, the water pressure in that room was not much better and we basically experienced the same issues. Add to that, there was mold forming around the bottom of the shower pan, and stained linen on one of the beds made our stay alot less comfortable. There is no closet and there is no dresser. Thre is also no safe or microwave. This is a room I would expect to pay $70/night to stay in based upon the overall cleanliness amenities, and functionality. The staff, however, was awesome and very willing to help make our stay nice. Unfortunately when we come to visit our son here in Garland again, we will not stay at this hotel.

We had to move rooms twice for a two night stay. The first rooms ac was not working. The second rooms toilet wasn't usable and the showers water so hot it was barely tolerable. Both times we had to move. It was unfortunate.

Good Experience: Nice Appeal Inside and Out/convent walking distance to Curtis Stadium/Complimentary Hot & Cold Breakfast/Easy Check in and Check In/Affordable Bad Experience: Room and areas of hotel were very humid causing everything to feel wet, sticky, muggy (furniture, bedding and clothing was damp to the touch). I had to buy a ventilation fan to try to sleep. Cleaning Staff refused to clean my room because she wanted to clean it when she wanted to...literally wanted us to leave the room so she could clean. I requested cleaning services 3 times that same day just change bedding and freshen up towel (I kept room tidy). I did put in a complaint to 2 managers. Elevator door censoring was not working properly; door would close too fast and did not sense my toddler granddaughter and the door slabbed into her and hit her on the head; after inspecting her she had a grape size bump on her forehead (which it could have been worse). I did advice the manager that the elevator needed to be checked due to other children in the hotel. That was just my experience, and I am sure many have had excellent experiences, it happens. One of the managers was very sincere with her apologizes.

The room was clean but the bed wasn't very comfortable. Very noisy as we were on 3rd floor and people above us and down our hall were banging doors and such.
- 1/5
Bathroom door stuck, no housekeeping, water tap and shower pressure low. Tv apps not working, breakfast options very limited. No coffee creamer one day.
- 2/5
Had to switch rooms 3 times. Dark out curtains had huge gap in it from being torn. The 4th floor was leaking water through the light in my shower on the 3rd floor. This obviously had been going on for a while. They changed rooms to next day, and the TV wouldn't work. Then we changed again. Anyway, had to pack and unpack 3 times in a 2 day stay? Staff was apologetic, but come on Hilton, you can do better. I pay a premium to stay at a brand hotel and expect more. The breakfast also lacked. No creamer out for coffee. No waffles, just pancakes that tasted like rubber. Some fresh fruit would be nice or some muffins.

Beds are not that comfortable and pillows are flat. But other than that the hotel is nice and the staff is great. Breakfast is buffet style. I’d say get rid of the pancake machine and just go with the old school waffle maker. Eggs are definitely out of a carton but the other options are actually not that bad. Overall stay will get 3 out of 5 because the staff was helpful and nice and location was great.

we had to come to Garland for a birthday party decided to stay at your hotel because I was told the hot tub and pool were clean and operable what a disappointment it was nasty cold and not working do not tell people that it's working properly when it's not I would have stayed somewhere else

This hotel was okay, the staff was nice but the hotel itself was not the best. some of the appliances in the room were lose. Both mine and my friends tv wasn’t working. The cleaning crew kept banging on our wall as they were cleaning. And not to mention the fire alarm kept going off several times at night and in the morning. In the end I feel like you can get a nicer hotel for the same price.

The room was clean, however, our window shade was broken so it wouldn’t come down all the way — less privacy and can’t control the light due to this. It’s an easy fix for the hotel. Breakfast was standard — no waffles or muffins or individual yogurt. Overall, not bad for a place you need to stay and shower.

I went downstairs to the service desk to report that the smell of weed was very strong in the hallway woke me up out of my sleep I headache, my husband had to take me to the store to get headache medication. The only thing she could do is the state that she have no way in telling who and where the room is, it was kind of dry and she could move me, but it was already 1:45 in the morning. I don’t mean to be mean, but if the hotel is smoke free, it should be smoke. Free will probably not be seeing again. Thank you.

First room blinds didn’t close all the way-I was unpacked and had 2 young children with me- had to go downstairs show the picture- get assigned another room, go back up and move. I usually have no problem staying at Hilton. This place was not a step above a motel 6. Wasn’t not a good nights rest, you hear all the noise, all the running from a room above you.

The toliet flush mechanism was not working properly. Also, the power button on the tv remote did not work but was able to charge my devices and still enjoyed the stay. For whatever reason the fridge was not working either so I had to dump the milk I brought with me. In addition, someone must’ve gotten too rough with the curtains because it was difficult to raise to let in natural sunlight so once I got the curtains up I left the back curtain up and lowered the front curtain as needed when I needed privacy. Other than those four issues the stay was good. I would’ve talked to the front desk but it was not an emergency and I could live with the room as is. I mostly needed a hotel room while the roof at my house was worked on to do school work.
