Hilton Garden Inn Lakewood Excellent hotel, staff and restaurant!

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 6 Sept 2024
This Hilton Garden Inn has done complete renovation upgrades starting in 2023. We stay here numerous times throughout the year to aide a family member in Lakewood. The rooms are spacious with plenty of updated amenities to add to your comfort. The staff here is outstanding - to mention a few Cindy & Holly at the front desk are terrific! Restaurant is excellent for breakfast or a light dinner. Chef Cliff makes everything tasty, and Victoria, as your food server, is always making sure you have all you need and with a totally pleasant attitude 😊 The location is an easy on/off the Garden State Parkway either direction! Definitely recommend if you need an overnight or looking for an extended stay. Enjoyable location!!!

The hotel is adequate. However, the employees are amazing! One gave us a fabulous recommendation for the Rainbow Diner. There weren't enough people in the evening, yet the person tending bar (among other tasks) always managed to get us the drinks we needed. (We were visiting difficult family.) I really appreciate great staff.

My husband and I stayed here for four nights for a wedding and while we were here at the pool heater broke down and was not fixed so we didn’t go into the pool or hot tub because the hot tub was also cold. The coffee machine that was in the lobby to seemed be broken for the four days we were there. Although the front staff always got me a coffee from the kitchen, which was very nice and they didn’t charge me.

The breakfast buffet is a little bit underwhelming and the first time we had breakfast, no one came to bring us coffee for 20 minutes. It seems like the server and the chef were arguing in the kitchen. When we had breakfast this morning on the day, we departed. She did come by and brought us coffee, but didn’t check if we needed any refills.

But the room was a very nice size. We had a junior suite and the bed was very comfortable and the maid surface was excellent.

Room tip: Even though they are doing construction, we heard very little of it during the day.

We are disappointed that you weren't fully satisfied with your experience. We apologize for the inconveniences during your visit. The heater for the pool/spa was fixed on Tuesday, due to the holiday weekend. We have complimentary coffee in the lobby during breakfast hours. We appreciate your feedback and have shared this with our team. Again, we greatly apologize for the inconveniences and hope you give us another chance in the future.

First surprise, upon getting to the room the temperature was set to 65F and that seemed to be the actual temperature. OK, I've encountered that before. So I turn up the thermostat and 5 minutes later it is still blowing cold air. I call the front desk and a full 10 minutes later the room started to warm up.

Next I go use the toilet. Then go to flush. Doesn't work. Turns out neither the sink or the shower work.

Call front desk. They'll send someone up. They call back a few minutes later and admit that because of maintenance being done on other rooms, my water is turned off. Would I like another room?

So go down and get key for another room. Do they want to comp me in some way for this screwup. Must discuss with manager. A long delay for this management decision and they offer a minor free item.

Did the big manager come to apologize? No.

Room tip: Check everything n room actually works immediately upon entering it

Thank you for your feedback as we are always looking for ways to improve the guest experience. We apologize for the inconveniences during your stay, we are disappointed that this was your experience. Since you booked through a 3rd party site, we are unable to provide compensation. However, my manager let me know that you were provided a complimentary breakfast and 5,000 Hilton Honors Points. We wish you safe travels!

We had a great three-night stay here. We had to book a hotel quickly as we were arriving in town for a funeral. A big thank you to David at the front desk who was incredibly helpful and patient as he worked to get us into the room type we wanted at the best rate. When we were delayed getting into our room, we received complimentary breakfast. The food was great, our newly renovated room was beautiful and quiet, and the staff was very friendly. We will be back!

OVERPRICED room was clean, quiet- and 15 minutes from the beach you're not walking anywhere but starbucks from here
nothing about the stay made it worth $475/night-
which was the DISCOUNTED wedding rate for a normal king room
seriously, $475/night doesn't even include breakfast
i regret not just using camp mode in my tesla
I would only stay here again if my job was paying for it.

Room tip: too far from the beach, overpriced.
