This Inn is several miles from the beach, but that doesn't matter if you spend the day at the beach, and just want a nice place to rest in the evening. About half of the rooms at this Inn are very comfortable two room suites. There is a large outlet center nearby as well as a selection of mid-range restaurants. The hotel is in a nice quiet setting, well off the main road that services Hilton Head Island.
On this particular stay, our reservation was misplaced. Complicating matters, we were using a Hilton Honors reward certificate - which normally is approved through central reservations. Big thank you to Juan at the front desk, who took a 'no problem' attitude and placed us in the room of our choice. The next morning, we had a voucher for buffet breakfast. We were surprised to have host Juwin tend our table like we were in a fine restaurant. The food was great, too.
Hotels are in the hospitality business, and they don't all take that word as literally as this Inn does.

This hotel is clean & comfortable and the staff is very helpful and friendly. Thanks Kyle!

The view of the marsh in the morning was beautiful and everyone at the hotel was always very helpful. I had to stay during the week for several weeks in a row and never had any issues or concerns.

The Hilton Garden Inn is as close to Hilton Head Island as you can get without actually being on the island and right on the main road to the bridge. The beds had a mattress with controlled firmness. The rooms, public areas and staff are just fine. There is some covered parking in a garage area under the hotel. As in a previous review, the noise from the air conditioning unit was a problem for sleeping. Breakfast is an additional $10.00 per person so you need to figure that into the room cost. Bring bottled water since the local water has a fairly strong sulfur taste.
