Glendale Hotels with Gym

We stayed here a couple days on a college visit trip for my daughter. This hotel was a very positive contrasting experience vs our stay at a different chain in Amarillo. The gym was pretty complete with I think 4 treadmills along with elliptical and free weights. The towels in the gym were clean, smelled nice and were like thick bath towels. The room was clean and there were adequate towels and washcloths. The reception folks were nice and always acknowledged us when we came or went. Parking was easy and well lit. There were an adequate number of elevators. They put us in a higher floor when we checked in since our room wasn't ready at 3:30 PM. Our room was comfortable and clean. There weren't kids running up and down the hallway and we didn't hear noise coming from other rooms. I have nothing to complain about. It was all positive. Oh, and the included breakfast was excellent. They didn't over hype it, it was just very good by typical complimentary breakfast American hotel standards. Wifi was complimentary and worked fine. There are good restaurants within easy walking distance. The recommended restaurants was a nice, but I'd suggest 2 changes. Pepper's Asian bistro was much better than the recommended Thai Pot Cafe unless you specifically want Pad Thai. We ate at both. For Italian I'd recommend North Italia, which they listed but wasn't a staff recommended.

Everything was a okay no complaints besides that the breakfast I was looking forward to since my last hotel stay ( different business) did not offer breakfast because of covid..to find out breakfast is only a mini cereal bowl / multi grain bars. No hot breakfast like I assumed when I was told that breakfast was offered. My fault for assuming and again that I understand is a state precautions not the companies fault.

The hotel is nice. Room is big, comfortable, clean, quiet and modern. Hotel is situated in a very busy and congested area, in a retail complex with some restaurants. Parking was confusing. I parked in an underground garage that appears to serve all of the retailers in the retail complex and it was advertised as free on a sign when you enter the complex. There was no method to charge upon entry or exit. However, upon check in, the employee asked me if I needed a parking pass. I asked why I would need one and they told me that the Hilton Garden Inn is charging $12 a night for parking. I disputed the charge, but the employee just said ”sorry” and took no action. The hotel was expensive (though typical for the area) for what it was and then adding the parking fee was a turn off.

Ecxellent!
