About The Hotel
This 4.3-rated Hilton Garden Inn (1,087 reviews) on Mill Plain Road near I-84 exit 2 delivers polished chain hospitality with a 4.6 cleanliness score and 4.5 service sub-rating. A May 2026 reviewer called it “one of the nicest Hilton Garden Inn rooms we stayed in,” citing clean, comfortable design and wooded views. Wedding-block guests in May 2026 highlighted smooth check-in and brunch quality. The on-site restaurant and bar add convenience, though menu quality varies by night. Breakfast is not free—a 2026 guest was unexpectedly charged $20 per person for welcome tickets. In-room jacuzzi suites are premium-specific rooms.
What Guests Are Saying
“After a long day of travel it was a pleasure to stay here. Just off the interstate and easy to find. Room was clean and very comfortable. Loved the view of the woods. Loved having a couch. Also appreciated that we could sign in and stream our own shows from the TV in the room. Very quiet and very dark for sleeping. One thing unusual to note is that the bed was particulary high. I am short and when I got up in the middle of the night I felt like I almost needed a running jump to get back in bed. This was not a deal breaker. One of the nicest rooms we had on our New England tour.” — Lahlumdi, 5 stars
“We used the Hilton Garden Inn for a wedding block and we were very happy with our choice! The hotel check in was smooth, Jillian helped us through the whole process, and brunch Sunday morning was great.” — Emily G., 5 stars
“Extremely friendly and accommodating staff. Room was immaculate and ready early. Restaurant and fitness center were great. Serene view and easy to get everywhere in the area. Can’t say enough positive things. Would stay again!” — Chris, 5 stars

What guests are saying about Hilton Garden Inn Danbury.
"When you’re a frequent guest at this hotel, sometimes you just need a change in food options. I asked Sam—the amazing bartender and server—if it was possible to get a buffalo chicken sandwich. He checked with Chef, came back with a thumbs-up, and I’m so glad he did. The sandwich arrived smelling incredible and looking even better. Honestly, everyone else should have been jealous of my dinner. Chef Amen grilled the bun and layered on buffalo chicken tenders, lettuce, tomato, blue cheese, and pickles. I’ll admit, I wasn’t sure about pickles on a buffalo chicken sandwich… but let me tell you, the sweet pickles with the spicy sauce were the perfect pairing. The Hilton is lucky to have a chef who clearly puts his heart and soul into feeding guests. Thank you, Sam and Chef Amen, for a wonderful dinner."

The man who came to see why our TV remote wasn't working was able to solve the issue by giving us a workable remote. I returned to this hotel for an overnight stay. A smaller room was switched for a larger one by Winston @ the front desk. He was extra accommodating, switching the new room on another floor to one diagonally across from the old room. This made moving personal items to the new room much easier. When the new room card didn't work, he accompanied me back upstairs to make sure the new card worked. These little touches make a difference between a pleasant stay and a frustrating one."

I would say to remind customers that there is a working kitchen and perhaps provide menus. The room was very comfortable with an easy to use thermostat (no funky smells) and a plush bed. Only drawback was the super tiny gym space. Great overall!!"
