It isn’t often that a chain inspires loving reviews, but Hilton Garden Inn does just that. Maybe it’s the indoor pool and hot tub, the dining room where large windows let in the garden view or the little touches such as chilled water in the lobby. Choose two queen beds or upgrade to a king room with a whirlpool. There’s a pantry that’s open 24 hours a day for late-night snackers, and an outlet mall is right across the street.
