I really don't like that this survey is addressed to my son who did not stay at the Garden Hilton. Nor did he pay for it. I booked the room, stayed in the room, and paid for my stay. Tim did not step foot into the hotel much less even see the room. Survey responses reflect the mediocre attention to detail evidence by this survey.

Staff was very helpful and friendly, the furnishings in the room was woren. The room was smaller than other places I've stayed. Didn't like the fact that I had to pay additional money after I showed up to check in. Took them ten seconds to withdraw from my account but told me it'll be 3 to 5 days to get it back.
