Hotel good but disappointed by the charges for par

It was a really nice hotel. The only complaint that we have is that they charged $15.00 per night for parking in a parking lot right outside the hotel on their property that wasn’t secure and even had a sign saying any damage or vandalism was not the responsibility of the hotel. This should have been free parking as is the case in most other hotels

Overall, I did like the hotel. The room was nice, clean, and what I would have expected from a Hilton. The person who checked me in was very friendly. The one thing I did not like is that I had to pay $15 to park my car in their outdoors parking lot. If I had parked in their garage, the charge would have been somewhat acceptable but the outdoors parking lot that is shared by other businesses??? It didn't seem reasonable.

Pros. 1) Large building, 2) nice breakfast area / restaurant 3) clean lobby 4) friendly staff 5)ample parking 6) great vicinity / area for shopping, restaurants, etc. Cons 1) Very long hike to the room from the Elevator. Lucky we had only 1 bag, and some energy. Building is an odd layout, it's huge, and there's only 2 elevators and both are in the main building. If your room is located in the other building at the end, it's a long way. 2) the pillows smelled like somebody's else with strong cologne had just slept there. I know it's a hotel, I know thousands of folks have been in the bed. But when you put your face down for the night, you don't want to smell them. I could not sleep well. I don't know if it's just the disinfectant smell, because I caught the same odor in the hallway, but if I ever stay in a Hilton Garden Inn, I'm taking my own pillow next time. Just smelled gross.

Comfortable

The rooms were clean and comfortable. There is ample parking. The front desk staff were courteous and friendly. Our stay came with a buffet breakfast. The staff work really hard to make guests feel at home but they are understaffed at the breakfast service.

The refrigerator didn’t work, so my allergy free food went bad. The people above my room and my daughter’s room were loud. It sounded like running, stomping, slamming doors. It even shook the tv several times. This started at 11pm and lasted for hours.
