What Guests Are Saying

“The Hilton Garden Inn, Dover is exceptional. From the minute you step in, you feel the fresh, clean and friendly atmosphere. The rooms and public spaces are so clean and bright. A total renovation was done recently and it shows. Special shout-out to the staff in the dining room. We didn’t eat dinner, but there is a dinner menu with a full bar. Lisa, the cook was incredible with a delicious breakfast made to order or from the buffet. Lots of choices from homemade breakfast sandwiches and banana nut muffins to local farm sausage and eggs. Yum!! The server Carla was pleasant and helpful and utility man Chris kept everything immaculate. Also a shout-out to the manager Cliff Weber, who graciously welcomed guests and seems very well liked by his staff. Altogether it was a delightful stay in a lovely, very clean and quiet place for three long-time girlfriends to reconnect. We will definitely be back! 🩷” — Nancy J., 5 stars

“Just returned from an overnight at the Hilton Garden Inn, Dover Delaware. What a great experience! I don’t normally write reviews but had to give a shout-out. On arrival, I thought it was a brand new hotel: spotless, bright, airy, organized for guest enjoyment into various gathering spaces. (It had recently been renovated.) Friendly welcoming staff. The room was nice, a suite w generous seating, was pretty, clean, featured a spotless bathroom. The breakfast buffet was really notable: quality ingredients, creative recipes, made from scratch pastries, pancakes- it was a standout. When you see a team that shows pride in their work and dedication to a quality customer service as this group does it is so satisfying. Kudos to Chef Lisa, Carla and Chris, the rest of the team and the manager (didn’t get his name) Thanks so much! We will return.” — S S., 5 stars

“We were all so impressed! My girlfriends and I (friends for over 35 years) have stayed at SO many hotels in this area, from the beaches to the ferry and throughout the city of Dover. The Hilton Garden Inn was truly one of the best we have found and we will be back: Bright and clean with plenty of windows shining in on the lobby’s open floor plan, you’ll find the restaurant where chef Lisa, along with waitstaff Carly and Chris serving the best, homemade breakfast in town! Such delicious food. You could tell these folks cared about the whole experience, from presentation to their warm and friendly service. The chef (Lisa) was beaming as our mouths watered, over-looking the buffet. Rooms were the same, clean, well-stocked and comfortable. I would highly recommend!!” — Marjorie S., 5 stars
