    Hilton Garden was in the perfect location, the food was great and the staff was coutious. I would stay there again if the need arises. We were there for a hospital stay. The shuttle with Mr. Darrel was great, he was very courteous and got me where I needed to be. I had no complaints regarding the hotel, the staff or the service. Everything was very well organized and everyone was very helpful, I would stay there again if the need arises.

    We had a short but pleasant visit at this hotel. The premises outside and inside were well maintained. Our room was clean and comfortable. The staff members were helpful and accommodating. The young African American server in the dining room at breakfast was a jewel. With his caring manner, his warmth, his excellent communication skills, and his efficiency, he made each guest feel wecome and special.

    We left a cellphone at the hotel. I couldn’t believe we couldn’t pay for the hotel to ship it back to us. What a hassle it was for us to generate a FedEX label to send to the hotel and retrieve our phone. I don’t know who was more incompetent: the Hilton Garden Inn AI and staff OR the FedEX experience. I would like the four hours it took to generate the label back.

    What I liked about the Hilton Garden Inn in Durham was the consistency and convenience. It’s in an easy, accessible location, and with a Hilton, you always know what you’re going to get — and that’s exactly what I got. The stay was comfortable, the breakfast was delicious, and the waiter was engaging and friendly. There’s something really reassuring about that level of predictability and reliability when you travel. What I didn’t love about the property is the value for the price. While the stay was solid and consistent, it’s hard to say you’re really getting strong bang for your buck. Hilton properties tend to be on the more expensive side, and although everything met expectations, it didn’t necessarily exceed them in a way that made the price feel like a great deal.

    I would definitely stay at the Hilton Garden Inn when visiting Duke University! The staff was kind, our room was upgraded to a suite, breakfast was yummy and there were dining places nearby. We were happily surprised that they offered free shuttle within a 5 mile radius and we did not bring a car!

    The accessible room had an extremely heavy main door with tight tension and difficult to open. The shower was a standard shower, not accessible via wheelchair. The room was tight and would never meet accessibility standards. That said, I’ve stayed here many times. The rooms are dated but clean. I’ve stayed inna proper accessible room here and it was great…just not sure what happened this time around. Breakfast is good, but omelettes have changed from 13 dollars to 19 dollars. Yikes. Excellent dining options nearby, like Parizade, Juju, and Del Toro. Expensive but all are exceedingly great choices.

The next morning when i found my car and came in to tell the staff they said, "oh yours was ONE OF 3 broken into last night." We did not see the park at own risks at night when we arrived. There are also no cameras to help in cases like this.
