“Very nice hotel. Clean rooms and friendly staff. All the usual amenities of a Hilton. Great pool and hot tub. Walking distance to a couple of really nice restaurants which was plus.” — ckellynow, 5 stars
“Pros: clean hotel, ample parking, friendly staff, nearby eateries, safe area. Cons: Work Stop Order on 3/16/26 prevented us from using the pool, hot tub, and gym (we were given vouchers to use a gym across a busy 4 lane highway), loud fan in the heater, loud outside noise from Route 2.” — Antonetta C., 3 stars
“Horrible management! Will scam you out of money! Charged and not informed until I realized it and then was banned for questioning them for it!!!! Not only that, had items stolen from me! No cameras so rooms are free for stealing my cleaners!!!!! Horrific place to stay at unless you need a place to sleep, DO NOT GO(.)” — Jeremiah M., 1 star

What guests are saying about Hilton Garden Inn Hartford South.
"This was a trip south for the winter with our dog. I want a dog friendly hotel with an onsite restaurant close to the highway. This fit the bill and had good reviews. When we arrived the restaurant area was quite crowded. I think they had a group. Nice to see that it was popular. The room was a little dated but very clean and more than what we needed. My husband brought up dinner. He had a burger and I the chicken Cobb salad. Both very good. It was also in a good neighborhood with many restaurants and shops within walking distance which is so nice when you book online and arrive in the dark. Will definitely stay here again."

It was great to see an employee who cared and provided customer service with a smile which seems to be a rarity nowadays in this country."

I called the next day and the staff went out of their way to return it to me. I called several times and each person was nicer than the previous, Clean rooms, convenient location and wonderful staff."
