The staff was tremendously helpful and kind. The rooms were beautiful and the pool was actually warm!
We used to stay in Hilton Garden Inn every time we visit Wausau, and as always we enjoyed our stay. Clean really big and clean, staff really nice, amenities were good and breakfast delicious! 100% recommend!
Fantastic hotel. Modern decor with a warm ambiance. I find myself just enjoying being on the property vs it being just a place to sleep. Only problem is I know need to replace my mattress. The Hilton mattress is great.
It was unfortunate that the fan made a continuous clicking noise and I use a fan to sleep so that was difficult to sleep through. Although I did not ask for a maintenance request as we arrived at 1am and had to leave the next morning by 9am. Also there was a guest that was really loud around 5am and were able to hear them like she was in the room with us. For those two reason I didn’t sleep great which I specifically sought out this hotel versus others cause I thought due to there good reputation and reviews I’d get the best sleep in a short time frame. However facilities were clean and staff was pleasant. Sad continental breakfast wasn’t included especially after paying $250 a night
Love this hotel. Rooms on 1st floor have a very impressive huge window in each room. Must be like 12’ tall ceilings! Pool area is great! Modern and clean hotel and rooms.
