I stayed here last month for a conference and use my work card that is tax exempt. I checked out a month ago with the promise of the tax refund and there is no refund. After calling the hotel and the advanced payment number they've given me numerous amounts of times from my stay I have been promised a refund of the taxes up until today. When I called again since no refund shoed up on the card I was told I would no longer be given the refund of those taxes. I gave the hotel my tax exempt paperwork 1 week before checking in. All your representatives do is send me another phone number who says they will fix this and issue the refund but 1.5 weeks later there is no refund. I have been told 3 separate time that a refund will be issued and never was and now they are no longer giving the refund?? Customer service is HORRIBLE. I left the manager of the hotel a voicemail and have to call back AGAIN. Similar to other reviews the bathroom wasn't very clean at all. It had hairs in the shower and on the floor. This whole experience has been terrible. I will never stay with Hilton again.

I Would have given 10 🌟 For Service if possible. We Originally booked a room with Their shared property Home2Suites. The 2 are Connected in Downtown Kalamazoo. We arrived from Detroit on the Amtrak Saturday. Tried to check in at Home2 with Our Hilton Honors Reservation at 1:05 pm. The desk clerk told Us "NOPE" Earliest possible would be 2pm. Maybe, mind You, we've never had issues checking in early. She stated the housekeepers are still working up there. Ok, You don't have not 1 room available? We also had our small dog with us. Not sure of her name. But will be contacting Kim Olsen in regards to her poor customer service skills.
Walked down the Hall to Hilton Garden Inn. Was welcomed by Adam, I believe he was the Manager on Duty. 10 🌟 for Himself & Kensey, his Co Worker.
They Got Us in A room immediately. 2 Very Nice Humans ❤️
The Housekeeping Manager, Kelly another 10 🌟
Our Train departs at 5. She was kind enough to allow a later check out according to our Departure.
Bottom Line, If Your Ever in KZoo
Stay Here.
There Really Are Still Good People Out There.
Thank You To The Staff At Hilton Garden Inn.

We came from out of town for job interviews. We were a bit confused about the parking situation at first but we called and they explained it to us in detail. We got paid parking together when we booked our hotel. Recommend doing that for ease and no there's no where else to really park for free near the hotel.
Staff actually moved us up to a penthouse due to not having our room. Which was amazing! It was our first time being in a hotel so fancy and it is definitely our best hotel experience yet.
We ended up eating downstairs and trying their drinks at the bar. We got their pizza special hot honey, best pizza ever. I ordered a blueberry drink special. Now my favorite drink then to feel more manly I tired some of their beers. Which was also pretty good. Overall a great experience.
Notes:
- Get parking when you book the hotel
- Hotel room quality is great
- staff is super friendly and willing to walk ya through any questions you might have
- Food & drinks, a bit pricey but totally worth it. Lots of people come here for business meetings
- If you're looking for the downtown life this is perfect but if you like introvert life (they set you up with a good tv, mini fridge, and room service).
Personally I was the most obsessed with is their showers. They were completely open and had DOUBLE shower heads that let me and my partner shower in the water together (rare ik). All and all, a great experience. If you have any trouble or have any questions, just let staff know and they will set you up
