Great location but no lounge
We stayed at the Hilton Garden Inn before our last cruise. The hotel was clean and the location was great. I'm a Gold member and have stayed at quite a few HGI's. After a six hour drive we arrived at the hotel and got settled in. The room was extremely warm even though the city was having a cold snap. We could only keep the temperature at a comfortable level if the fan ran all night. (a bit noisy). I went down to the lounge to get a glass of wine only to find that they do NOT have a lounge. I have never stayed at a HGI that does not have a lounge (usually very basic). They had the spot for it and but the counter was being used for the daily buffet and left empty the rest of the time. 
However, what annoyed me was the front desk's response to my request for additional breakfast coupons. While I understand the policy is that Gold and Diamond members get only two coupons it has been my experience at EVERY Hilton property that has paid breakfast that we get enough coupons to cover the number of people in the rooms. When I asked for them the front desk was rude to me in explaining the policy. 
I would probably stay at a Homewood or Doubletree on my next stay but would stay here again if there was limited choice.
