What Guests Are Saying

“This HGI is an older hotel that was recently renovated and seems to be well maintained. Their Secret-Sauce is the VERY Personal and Professional Staff (i.e., Jarrett & Mary / Front-Desk, Leslie / Bar & Restaurant, and the Housekeeping Team. Every staff member, I met was engaging and made my stay memorable. This will be my hotel of choice for my next five visits to the Hattiesburg /Columbia this year.” — RJ J., 5 stars

“The woman over the kitchen was very nice and apologized for the late breakfast. She explained the issue and made everything right with all the guest. The front desk old black lady was very polite and helpful. She was also helping a woman over the kitchen. Overall it was a nice stay.” — Mike S., 4 stars

“Not up to their usual standards for cleanliness. Our shower had an excessive amount of mold and mildew at the grout at the bottom. Glass shower door has water stains. The shower gel appeared to have a broken pump dispenser but I say appeared because I would not have touched it even if it had been working because the bottle was smeared with something blackish green. The floor in the halls had things that should have been picked up or vacuumed more frequently. The floor in our room also seemed to have not been vacuumed or swept. This is the first negative review I ever remember giving for a Hilton Garden Inn. When I told the desk people about the issues and showed them the pictures they did not really seem concerned but said they would make a note. The staff were friendly. I did have trouble with key cards and digital key not working on second day of stay so had to go back down to get that reprogrammed. I had stayed here a year before while it was being remodeled and it was great then.” — Dichelle G., 2 stars
