- JSJonathan Spencer4 days ago5.0Excellent service. Bed are super soft
- TETrevor EJan 4, 20265.0A good stay at HGI. This is probably the best smelling hotel I've ever been in. My first thought was a lady with amazing perfume must have walked through the hallway 2 minutes before I did. Then I realized this must be a cleaner or air freshener. I don't know but it was amazing. Clean and quiet room. Hallway smells nice. Will be my preferred hotel in the area now.
- JMJerry MalanychDec 23, 20255.0I currently live in Florida but grew up in Wallingford. During past visits I have stayed at just about every hotel in the area. I travel with two almost 17 year old Chihuahuas. I was going to stay at a prior hotel but decided to try the Hilton. In the past I have worked for the Hyatt at Coconut Point in Estero FL so I understand hotels. I was absolutely so glad I stayed at the Hilton Garden. It's right off 91 North on route 68, and convenient to everything in both in the immediate area and central to the state of CT itself. I drove straight up from Florida to Meriden in just under 19 hours. When I arrived I was promptly greeted by Candace and Charlotte who checked me in quickly and efficiently. During my stay everyone went out of their way to accommodate both myself and my dogs. The hotel is beautiful, open, and inviting. They have a beautiful gas fireplace to warm up and talk family and friends. They have a restaurant on site serving delicious food. I was here for Christmas so it wasn't open but they have a large beautiful outdoor area with lots of chairs and fire pits. The room was clean, the showers hot and there was extreme water pressure. Originally I was on the fence rhin6I could save a little money and book a cheaper hotel but I am so glad I didn't. I absolutely loved the hotel, and it's warm inviting staff. If you are on the fence splurge a little bit and enjoy a world class hotel experience located in a beautiful rural area of Wallingford CT. Again thanks to Candace, Charlotte, Efrain, Shareen, and, Wafa. You guys are Rock stars!!!! Thanks for making it a Merry Christmas!!!!!!
- CHCharlie HOLLENSEDNov 24, 20253.0Looking forward to staying here. Wish they had answered my question about the availability of laundry but closer to my visit I’ll call.
