Inside was very modern, clean, and quiet. I loved the swimming pool and fitness area, and the staff was extremely pleasant and professional. The hotel is within one mile of the Central Park shopping district, an all-in-one shopping/dining/entertainment area, the best ever! The Wegmans which closes at 12am was a two-minute drive (you could walk also), very convenient since I had to embark on a 10:30pm snack run. The Hilton is surrounded by other hotels and is tucked back from the main road. My family and I felt very safe and comfortable. I will be planning another trip back to this area and will certainly book the Hilton Garden Inn again.
