Hotel is in a great location. However it has run down some and service from front desk isn’t what it used to be; not as friendly and attentive. Also noticed I was charged for self parking in an outdoor parking lot.

I walked into the hotel after A long trip and was greeted by a gentleman At the desk who proceeded to tell me about all of the charges that I would be nickel and dimed for. Rather than accepting the fact that Hotels.com stated that there was free parking, he insisted that the four dollar charge per night was something that the Hilton had decided and did not “update the third-party about”. I was told that I should speak with the manager who never showed up that evening and did not come in until at least two days later. After waiting two days, I still could not get in touch with the manager and spoke with a gentleman by phone from my room named Carlos, who also refused to take any action because he is not the manager. He could hear that I was getting upset and had the audacity to tell me to relax, and then proceeded to tell me that the charges for the parking were not on my bill in the first place. Although it’s only four dollars per night, the principal is important because I was promised free parking and I did not deserve to be treated that way for a legitimate concern. I also found it ridiculous that they charge you $100 for incidentals so they can play with your money while you are staying there in the event of damage.

This is a great property, I just don’t love the fact that online it indicates free parking when in fact there is a small charge. I asked them to waive it since I specifically checked to see if parking was free before I booked, they said they would do that but I have not yet seen the evidence. Everything else was very nice.

This is my third time staying at the Hilton Garden Inn in Richardson, and the service has always been outstanding. I enjoyed the breakfast, which was superb and excellent service and could accommodate my taste for a large cup of coffee with milk.

Room had a smell to it that could be because it was a smokers' room. Otherwise, it was all pretty average.

The staff was very welcoming and accommodating, but my room smelled of stale cigarettes and mildew. Also, the bed was hard and soundproofing was inadequate (could hear walking and tv in the next room).

Safe, clean, close to campus

The air conditioning was not working properly on my room. It was 100 degrees outside and my room was at 78 degrees. I reported it to the desk and a maintenance man did not check it until the next morning. So uncomfortable I did not sleep well. Even after maintenance it did not get any cooler. They offered me to move to another hotel without an immediate refund.
