ZERO STARS. Please read! I am a Hilton Honors member, and my February 22 experience at this property was shockingly unprofessional and escalated unnecessarily.
After checkout, I realized I left my AirPods behind. They were actively pinging at the hotel in real time, so I called the front desk. The female manager quickly placed me on hold and returned saying housekeeping reported nothing was found. However, the tracking clearly showed they were still inside the building.
I drove back and showed her the live location. Instead of assisting, she dismissed it and refused to investigate. I navigated the signal myself and traced it to a staff-only area, nowhere near my room.
When I returned to explain this, the situation escalated. The manager told me to “be quiet.” The male staff member slammed his keys on the counter, yelled at me, and repeatedly stepped into my personal space in an aggressive and intimidating manner. I calmly asked him multiple times to step back. Because of how they were behaving, I began recording the interaction. I am extremely grateful I did, as the video clearly shows the aggressive conduct.
Security was called, and when they actually walked with me to where the AirPods were pinging, they were found on a housekeeping cart, despite earlier claims that nothing had been located.
There was no apology. No accountability. Instead, I was told not to return.
Even more concerning, before I had the opportunity to document this experience myself due to my schedule, the property filed a complaint against me within the Hilton Worldwide system, resulting in my removal from a Friends & Family list. Given the way the situation was handled, I am grateful I recorded the interaction, as it appears there was an attempt to shift the narrative before I could formally report what actually occurred.
This was not a misunderstanding. It was dismissive, hostile, and retaliatory management behavior. Hilton guests deserve professionalism and basic respect, especially when retrieving their own property.
We were so confident based on the other reviews that we could enjoy our short stay at this property . But unfortunately the reviews did not prepare us for the reality of this management staff unprofessional behavior. I strongly urge future guests choose another location there are so many options that are much nicer in the staff actually appreciates the work that they do at those locations. While staff at this location initially appear friendly & professional, our experience showed that the moment a legitimate issue arises, the tone shifts dramatically. Instead of accountability and customer service, I was met with dismissiveness, aggression, and intimidation. A hotel’s true character is revealed when something goes wrong, and unfortunately, this property demonstrated behavior that was unprofessional and hostile rather than solution-oriented. Guests deserve to feel respected and safe when addressing concerns.

I usually stay at Hilton properties. My family and I usually have a good experience. I can’t say that about this property. I booked with the app for my wife and daughter for Saturday night Feb. 21st/2026. When they arrived, there was a bed bug on the top of the bedspread. They reported the incident to the front desk discreetly. I realize that a former guest can bring something in to a hotel. My wife was traumatized and asked for a refund before she left. She was told that they would report to the manager. I called Hilton… they told me that they would reach out to the hotel for a refund. When I noticed that there was no refund two days later, I called the Hilton number again. I was informed that the manager (who we never saw or heard from) had denied the request. Hilton issued me a voucher, for which I am thankful. This location does not meet Hilton’s standards. It’s best to avoid this location. I rarely give bad reviews, I live to give good ones. But… I couldn’t let this one go.

The room was great most of the people there were very friendly. Only ran into one problem with the breakfast. On their website it doesn’t say anywhere about charging for breakfast it said for every night purchased breakfast would be free. No price whatsoever about it. When we said something about it to the “manager” of the breakfast he got loud and snappy with us. We had our kids there too and he scared my kids by his actions. Very unprofessional. His name was Mike man with the scar on his face. One of the ladies jumped in and started yelling at us saying we were wrong very inappropriate
We stayed here for 1 night the day after Christmas. Convenient location right off the freeway. After driving for 12 hours, we were looking forward to getting a good night’s sleep. Our room was on the second floor. Other than a few pieces of hair in the shower, the room appeared clean. Bed was comfortable. We were awakened shortly after midnight by a super loud noise coming from a fan in the cooling unit in the ceiling. (close to the door) The noise was going on and off all night. It sounded like a mechanical issue. My husband was able to push up on it and recorded a video of the noise. We told the man at the front desk about it when we checked out the following morning. His response was “ok.” Never an apology. Had we not been so tired, we would have asked to switch rooms. They do have a nice outdoor area for dogs. Breakfast is not included in the room rate.

The customer service is trash. Erica, the property’s manager, was not helpful at all.
Additionally, I stayed at this property two years ago and received far better treatment at that time. However, things have definitely changed. 🥴
I will not be booking with this hotel again. Overall, it does not provide the Hilton Garden Inn experience you would expect or be looking for.
(Redneck vibes.)

My response to Miss Erika....
I understand the cancellation policy associated with the discounted rate, and I acknowledge that a partial charge was applied rather than the full stay. My concern, however, is not solely the policy itself, but how the situation was handled.
I do want to be very clear: at no point did I engage in written or verbal abuse toward your staff. That allegation is inaccurate. All of my communication was direct, and focused on resolving the matter. Disagreement or expressing frustration does not equate to abuse, and I take issue with that characterization.
While I understand that policies exist, professionalism and fair treatment should remain consistent—especially when addressing loyal or returning guests. My intent was to seek clarification and resolution, not to be confrontational.
