Hilton Garden Inn Wallingford/Meriden

While traveling for business, I stayed one night here. Check-in was very quick. Staff was very courteous and helpful. Parking is free and large amount of space for parking. The area scenery is beautiful especially if you book a room on the front side of the hotel. The hotel was very clean and smelled probably the best out of all the hotels I have been in. There was construction going on when I walked in of the bar area and where they normally have the breakfast area, however the hotel accommodated everybody in the hotel by moving drinks to another area and providing appetizers and still providing a small menu for food at night.

A good stay at HGI. This is probably the best smelling hotel I've ever been in. My first thought was a lady with amazing perfume must have walked through the hallway 2 minutes before I did.

Hotel was clean. Check in/check out was very easy and able to do online without having to go to the desk. Mattress was comfortable and room had plenty of amenities. Price per night was also reasonable. Overall served as the perfect place for us to stay while going back and forth to our friends wedding. There was a pool and it looked nice although we didn’t have time to use it
