Pros: Room size was good, clean, shower was great. Parking was great.
Cons: The pantry items weren't clearly marked I had some sticker shock when I got my bill. Also pool was broken for our last two days and that was a main reason we stayed there. Also having limited WiFi was a huge issue for us. We could not connect our devices

Pros: I absolutely loved the location. I work at a hospital in downtown dc andI get there via the Vienna metro station. It is literally minutes away.The drive is a breeze (for the most part). I also really liked thatHarris Teeter and the corner bakery were right across the street. I wasable to park my car at the hotel and walk over to the bakery and havebreakfast after working 12 hours on night shift at the hospital. Theconvenience of Harris Teeter was nice as well because I had forgotten topack a few toiletry items for my stay. They also have a hair cuttery andpizza cafe in the same shopping center. I personally appreciate havingamenities like that so close to my hotel. Also, Fair Oaks Mall isrelatively close. The value of the Hilton Garden Inn was fantastic givenits location to the metro and shopping center. There was also free wifi.My room was cleaned every afternoon as I was leaving for work. Thehousekeeping staff was remarkable and very polite. They greeted me everymorning with a smile as I walked down the hall to my room exhausted. Andthey made sure I had a new black tea k cup re stocked in my room.I'm not really a coffee drinker. Overall, amenities were great,location was great, staff (housekeeping) was great. I'd most likelystay again!
Cons: The management staff was rude and unprofessional. I booked throughbooking.com. I received a notice from American Express that the hotelhad booked 300+ additional dollars to my card. Concerned, I called downto the desk and the lady working the desk was zero help and told me thatthe price I was going to be charged was the price with the 300 dollarsadded to it. I sternly told her I would be paying for the reservation Ibooked through the website. After having to pull up my reservation shewas still argumentative with me. Eventually we spoke with the gm and hesaid to honor my reservation that apparently there was a glitch in thesystem and I got my room much cheaper than most. Isn't that thewhole idea using sites like booking and Expedia? Also, I work nightshift at a hospital and asked for an early check in after my first nightat work. The man yelled at me on the phone telling me there was nothinghe could do to accommodate me. I told him I spoke to a young lady thenight before as I was traveling into the city for work. I explained Iwould need to check in around 10-11 if possible. Rudely told me no. Ithen asked to speak with a supervisor and yelled into the phone and saidto me "I am the SUPERVISOR". I then hung up the phone and madesure my presence was known downstairs. I am a healthcare professionaland consider my job a customer service job as well working with mypatients. I expect to be treated with dignity and respect as that is howI treat others. I don't think my request to check in early shouldhave been such an issue. In the end, I waited at the corner bakery aftermy shift hoping I would receive a phone call telling me my room wasready. As I sat in the booth at the bakery and began to doze off on mylaptop I hear my phone ring at 10:57am. It was a nice lady letting meknow my room was available.

Pros: Room was comfortable and easy to work out of... with desk, plug-ins, mini sofa, refrigerator and microwave. Lobby area is great for group gatherings. Free parking. Easy to get in and out of.
Cons: The hallways and rooms had a slight odor... like some of kind of air freshener trying to cover up smoking (cigarette or otherwise) scents.
Staff was fine but they just didn't seem very happy. One server made our group in dining room move because she wanted us to be closer to other guests, easier to serve.

Before entering the room, staff was spraying air fresheners in the room to cover the smell.
No room to switch to, weren't able to sleep after waking up in the middle of the night because of the strong smell.
