Hilton Garden Inn Atlanta South - Mcdonough

“A bad start for our day that turned out pretty darn good!”

We fought traffic and bad weather until we couldn't stand it anymore. We happened upon this hotel, Thank god.. The Check-in was awesome,, Especially with the help of Charles! He made a miserable evening awesome. Thank you Charles and thanks to a great hotel.

“Highly recommend”

I can't say enough good things about this hotel or the staff. It was our first experience with a Hilton Garden Inn; we chose it on the advice of friends who liked the chain.

I can't say enough good things about this hotel or the staff. It was our first experience with a Hilton Garden Inn; we chose it on the advice of friends who liked the chain. Very nicely surprised by almost everything! First, spotlessly clean. And I mean, spotless. Check in was a breeze, the staff were more than nice. The parking lot is very brightly lit, leading to a sense of safety for your vehicle (although make sure your window curtains work or you'll think it's morning all night long!) But the food was what really surprised us. Chef Jayla was on that night. Her Cobb salad with chicken was equal to or better than anything I've had elsewhere. I wish the blue cheese dressing had been homemade, or of a bit higher quality, but the salad was great - fresh vegetables, chicken done perfectly (not at all rubbery for a change, and nicely seasoned). Our daughter had the spicy shrimp tacos and wanted to stay another night just to have them again. The next morning at breakfast, with a different chef, we heard a woman order a "runny cheese omelette". The chef asked her twice to make sure that's what she wanted, but she was adamant. And when it came, she told everyone there that it was the best "omelette baveuse" she'd had since France 40 years before. Our servers, Regan (sp?) and Ashley (also sp?) were marvelous. My only quarrel with this hotel is the lack of baggage carts. There are only two carts for the entire hotel, and both are that awful kind with a large hole at the back and the end, so if you only have small soft luggage you will wind up with it dragging on the floor. Also there is no check-in check out for carts so no incentive for people to return them. The morning we checked out, we ate breakfast at 7:00 and departed after 10:00, and the two carts that were missing were still missing. I can only wish the worst on the people who hid them away in their rooms overnight. People on crutches, people with small children, and elderly people had to drag their multiple bags from rooms to elevators, down the halls and out the door. Again they either need a check-in check out for the bag carts, or corporate need to provide four cards instead of two. And we were on a high floor, which was pretty much out of hot water in the shower by 9 pm at night. But we wish every hotel we stayed at was this good!

“Perfect Stay!!”

Great location outside of crazy Atlanta and right off I75. First thing noticed was the friendly staff and how clean! The hotel was very quiet considering how many rooms were filled.

Great location outside of crazy Atlanta and right off I75. First thing noticed was the friendly staff and how clean! The hotel was very quiet considering how many rooms were filled. Our room was a great size. Very clean and beds super comfortable! Pet friendly was a major plus considering we travel with our fur baby. They have a nice area outside to walk your babies. The location is near many restaurants and in walking distance to many. We would certainly stay here again

“Food Good, Room Not”

Plenty to say here. Stayed one night in December. Hotel common areas in very good condition. Dinner and breakfast food and service were terrific.

Plenty to say here. Stayed one night in December. Hotel common areas in very good condition. Dinner and breakfast food and service were terrific. We almost went out for dinner, but we were tired from our travels so we stayed in the hotel for dinner and we were glad we did - the food was delicious. The dinner waitress told us the cooked to order breakfast was better than the buffet, so the next morning we ordered omelets and they were also excellent. We were not as fortunate with our room. The door lock did not work properly - the room key was not needed to enter - one could just turn the door knob and enter unless the deadbolt was engaged. So, when we went to dinner our room could easily have been entered. We did not discover the problem until the next morning, so we moved our belongings in our room to our car before we went to breakfast. The slider closet door in our room was not on track. Our room was 79 degrees F when we arrived in our room - much too warm - and no matter how much we fiddled with the hear and air in the room the temperature barely budged. Only after we simply turned the system off did the temperature come down to about 70 degrees F, but even then the system fan kept running!
