“The best chain hotel room ever!!!”

We only stayed one night at the Hilton and were amazed at how beautiful and new the hotel was. Our room was bargain basement priced and we were pleasantly surprised at how clean, spacious and comfortable the room was. The hotel is in a beautiful area to begin with and is ideally situated right before you go over the bridge to Hilton Head. The room was spacious, had wifi access and was quiet with no noise from the main road due to its setback location. The best surprise was in the morning we went down to the lobby for a great hot breakfast for $8.95 with eggs cooked to order. The breakfast area was spacious and overlooked the outdoor pool. Just gorgeous! We were even seated and served by a very polite waiter. Can you imagine a chain hotel with such great beauty and service? This hotel is right on Rt 278 and there are many restaurants to choose from. My husband and I will use this hotel exclusively when we go to Hilton Head for business. A real GEM!!!!

My two girlfriends and I stayed at the Hilton Garden Inn in January 2006 for a long weekend. Due to circumstances beyond our control, we left home late and didn't arrive at the hotel until around midnight Friday night. I had called ahead of time, though, to make sure we had a late check in.

Our check in was smooth, and we promptly went to bed. However, it became obvious very quickly that one of my girlfriends had a terrible snoring problem! We were unaware of this problem prior to planning the trip. I was completely unable to go to sleep after working all day and driving for 3 hours. These were some serious, wall rattling snores!

About 2:00 am, I decided I had to do something. I was so exhausted. I went down to the front desk, explained my problem, and inquired if there was a drugstore or something nearby where I could get some earplugs. He said there were a Wal-Mart a couple of miles away, but he didn't think they were open 24 hours. I asked if they had earplugs in their little pantry, but they did not.

Finally, I asked if they had another room available that I could take. I said it didn't matter to me what floor it was on, what kind of beds or if it was smoking or non-smoking. The night clerk found a room for me just a couple of doors down from my original room. He even walked me up to the door and made sure I got in OK. (I think I must've looked really pitiful!) I was able to get about 4 hours of sleep. (Unfortunately, the previous guest in that room had not turned off the alarm clock, so I got an unexpectedly loud 6:00 am wake up! LOL!)

The next morning, I went downstairs about 9:00 to return the room key and thank the clerk for his help. He was off duty, but I did mention his help to the current clerk as I checked out of that extra room. I fully expected to have my credit card charged for the full amount of the room, but lo and behold, when I got my bill, they didn't charge me a dime. I found that to be a refreshing display of customer concern and service. They had every right to charge me something for the 7 hours the room was in my name, and I feel sure that another hotel probably would've charged for a full night's stay. I wrote a letter commending this hotel and that night clerk for their customer service, and I will be staying at the Hilton Garden Inn in the future whenever I can.

As for the room, it was big enough for the three of us. We had a handicap accessible bathroom, so I can't vouch for the size of the regular bathrooms. But the room was quiet (outside of the snoring, LOL), clean and didn't smell like smoke or anything.

Overall, a great experience. I would definitely recommend this property to a friend!
