Hilton Garden Inn Lakewood

This was the 2nd time I stayed at the property. It was as nice as the first. Amazing, since I live in nearby Leisure Village. But having 59 stays by early December, I needed only one more to get a large points bonus, so I went for it. As I always do, I checked in and chose my room via the Hilton app. No problems with that. The Digital Key allowed me to park in the rear of the hotel and enter through the doors closest to the elevators, and go right up to my chosen room. My room was certainly comfortable, no issues with WiFi, TV, nor climate control. Bathroom had ample space for my toiletries. I did notice ear plugs on the night table; I assume there have been complaints about traffic noise. The hotel is literally in the middle of a cloverleaf exit/entrance between the Garden State Parkway and Route 70. However I have been in a lot worse places where the traffic is loud enough that I feel like I'm sleeping in the fast late. NOT SO here; you really have to listen carefully to hear any passing traffic, and the woods in the back help to muffle any traffic sounds. I did go to the lobby to obtain a snack. The market allows you to pay onsite or charge to your room without having to visit the front desk. I therefore never had any interface with the front desk staff during my brief stay. Overall this is a nice property, probably more affordable during the off season since prices do balloon in the summer months. This is, after all, the Jersey Shore. It gets my recommendation.

This is our first time staying here for one night . We had a play in Spring Lake and this was the closest option . Kind of Pricey for its hotel type. Hotel is very modern and clean. Rooms were nicely laid out with open closet space and modern fixtures. Beds were firm but comfortable. Not a big fan of floor ACs units which are commonly found in these mid price range business type hotels , but worked well and could be controlled by wall control . We didn’t use the “pay for breakfast “ , chose to eat outside the hotel . The only issues I had was there was no shower gel in the room (I didn’t pack any and ended up using the drying bar soap ), and the inner shower liner came unsnapped and it was impossible to get it hooked back up again . We definitely will stay here again .

Awesome hotel. Clean. Modern. Easy check in. Great breakfast. Victoria is awesome. Little pricey but very good. All conveniences thought of. Mattress was a little hard but was okay. Internet worked well. Staff is very friendly. Gym was clean and easy.
