I have stayed at many hotels 5 star and 3 star this Hilton garden is the best ! My family and I felt so comfortable right at home. The staff is very attentive and hard working . The set up is great out door seating that was very comfortable. The restaurant made an awesome cheesesteak and so quick at 8 pm at night/ the place is kept very clean and this is the type of hospitality that other hotels should learn from and fair pricing in time that the industry is over charging everyone . Great Job guys!

Hotels are really just hotels. The big difference here was the Customer Service. We arrived and the desk clerk stepped away so a gentleman from the restaurant immediately came over to help. When the front desk gentleman came back he was exceptional friendly. We had dinner in the restaurant and again the customer service was Absolutely great. Our waitress ( Joyce ) was the very best.
Hats off for the ABOVE and BEYOND CUSTOMER SERVICE.
