  Online it states breakfast but it's $15, too expensive. No computer for quest but there is a printer so ridiculous. The rooms are nice but the hotel is just basic nothing special. Plenty restaurants nearby.

  Never ever again! Everything was great at the hotel until my granddaughter and I decided to go have breakfast. I felt harassed by the lady working the buffet. She upset me so badly that I dropped my plate and left. This is the Hilton for God’s sakes. I wasn’t trying to steal food or take more than my share. You would think I was at the Red Roof Inn. It was really ridiculous. I left in tears.

  Fantastic hotel, well insulated, we couldn't hear the neighbors, nor passerbys in the hallway! The most quiet hotel I've ever stayed in. Delicious breakfast with cook on hand and helpful staff.

  Stayed here while visiting Colonial Williamsburg. Beautiful rooms with an amazing staff. Pet friendly. My dogs did not want to leave their new friends. Breakfast was very good. Highly recommend staying at Hilton Garden Inn.

  I travel 100+ days/year and have lived in hotels for 6+ years. This wasn’t a simple “one person, one night” stay: 3 adults + 3 kids (under 10) meeting for Christmas after 15+ hour drives from opposite directions to do Williamsburg/Busch Gardens/Great Wolf, etc. Night 1 check-in (Dec 26): staff couldn’t find our reservation by name OR by the confirmation number THEY provided (not 3rd party). After ~20 minutes at the desk with tired kids: • Told keys were for 303; they were for 305. • While my wife was downstairs, they deactivated the original keys without telling me, leaving me + kids locked out in the hallway. • Then they issued keys to the wrong room again. It took ~35–40 minutes total before we could reliably get into rooms. Rooms were clean, but we didn’t unpack since we were switching to suites. Immediately after arrival, my mom tried to cancel 1 night and they refused Room transition (Dec 27): still required checkout by 10am with the next room not ready until 3pm. That gap cost us vacation time: we lost 2+ hours at Busch Gardens waiting for the room so we could move our stuff in. Food / “restaurant” / lobby: the on-site “restaurant” is basically a bar with a limited menu—my wife couldn’t eat any of it (plus allergy restrictions). We got takeout from nearby places in the same parking lot and sat in the lobby seating far from the bar (lobby seats ~80–100; bar had only a few people). The bartender asked if we were eating; I told her exactly: my wife is grabbing food, we’ll eat it here, and we’re ordering drinks. She said OK. My mom ordered a drink. The drink arrived, the food hit the table, and then she kicked us out saying outside food isn’t allowed on site. If that’s the policy Don’t approve the plan, take the drink order, then kick a family out the moment the food shows up. I asked where it was posted, she produced a plaque kept behind the bar (not visible from the lobby seating). It felt like she got a sale out of us and then kicked us out. I told her to get lost, told my mom not to pay/tip/drink it, and our embarrassed family went upstairs to eat in our rooms (not our intention—we wanted to order drinks and decompress). By this letter-of-the-law policy, there is effectively no lobby—nowhere to sit with a coffee or a sandwich while waiting, because all seating is treated as the “restaurant.” gym is unsanitary. In our newer room the HVAC is insanely loud (sounds like an F-22 taking off). No bathroom exhaust fans. Breakfast: Day 1 they told me my 3-year-old wouldn’t be charged. Every subsequent day they charged for him. I saw ~30 people in the pool with a posted capacity of 26. So the hotel clearly picks and chooses which policies to enforce. Laundry/checkout: dryer was broken—we paid twice and clothes still didn’t dry. Then they tried to push us out at checkout while we were still trying (1.5+ hours) to dry clothes. broken processes and inconsistent policy enforcement. We left confused, inconvenienced, and feeling taken advantage of rather than appreciated.
