- JMJoslyn MirelesOct 29, 20255.0I have zero time to express my emotions for the amount of positivity that I have experienced with this place and staff because it would take too long! Jen Clay was our event coordinator, and Mathew was our waiter for the night of our wedding in that room of The Vue, and they were absolutely wonderful to me and my family on our wedding night from the moment I had went and seen the venue from the time I checked out. I recommend this beautiful little place to anyone for any near future plans anyone has whether that's birthday, little micro wedding, events etc.... I cannot put it in words for the love and gratitude I was shown from Jen Clay our coordinator; I thank you so much! I will most definitely be back and most definitely just to visit in general; thank you so much! (Muchisimas gracias to you all!) <3
- MBMidWest 3 Gamma Phi BetaOct 27, 20255.0We are very thankful for the opportunity to hold our event at the Hilton Garden Inn. We were well watched over, served, and set up for success by Jaimy (Banquet Manager) and Nancy (Server). The food ("Charcuterie Board" and "Black and Gold Mixer") was top notch and matched our Tailgating theme. One of our guest, shared with us this was her first time watching a football game in a ballroom and all future tailgates are forever spoiled!! :) Thank you Jen Clay and team for such an enjoyable time watching the Hawkeyes beat Minnesota!
- MSMiriam SwartzOct 26, 20254.0The pillows were pretty flimsy and the air conditioning was very difficult to control but other than that everything was seamless. Great location and the food from the restaurant upstairs was fantastic
- EFElise FreemanOct 12, 20252.0Okay so the AC only goes down to 68 and the front desk person doesn't know how to override it without the maintenance people so if you are a hot sleeper I would recommend going elsewhere. Also there's no out front parking, only a parking garage in the back of the building. Over all it's okay.
- MAMatt AndersonOct 10, 20255.0Great place to stay. I stay weekly for business. Rooms are always ready early, rooms are clean. I was there was outside seating but there are benches accross the street.
