Scene
Practical chain hotel serving families and business travelers
The Hilton Garden has a neatly landscaped exterior, and
views from its windows are pleasant. Despite its close proximity to I-95,
the hotel looks out over woods, trees, and a marshy area that often has ducks
and other wildlife. The lobby, common areas, and on-site restaurant are
decorated in oranges, greens, and furniture with a playful 1960s design feel.
Geometric patterns on the library carpeting continue this vintage decor look.
Large, flat-screen televisions are located throughout the common areas, as well
as plentiful electrical outlets for charging electronic devices. The hotel
makes an effort towards quirkiness in decor, but still largely adheres to a
generic chain hotel look and feel. This contributes to the general atmosphere
of practical, convenient, and affordable accommodations for families or
business commuters.
