I booked at the Hilton Garden Inc because it is conveniently located close to where I had to work. In fact, It is within walking distance to my office and the Indian School light rail stop. Easy access to the light rail means easy access to Mesa.
Other pluses?
Cabana rooms are a nice size. The rooms have a microwave, a mini-fridge, super comfy Garden Sleep System bed and incredible pillows. I mean I seriously need to buy me some of those pillows, this bed and the comforter. They are incredibly nice.
The staff is very friendly. Chris the bartender is excellent. She was so sweet and accommodating while a few of us all watched the World Series. Steve usually drives me around town in the shuttle. He's very informative.
Food was great. They have a new Chef who has come up with some great new food options. The salmon and shrimp cocktail look awesome! The Cod sandwich was amazing and I even tried the breakfast buffet. $12.95 was just a little much for the buffet.
Great cookies, water flavored with fruit and snacks are left in the lobby each day. Score!!
Courtesy shuttle within 5 Mi radius. Just signed up for it at the front desk
Minuses?
The room could be cleaned a little better.
The doors slam shut loudly. If you have a rude neighbor they can easily wake you up.
