Given the location (inside an old business park, across from train tracks), the price was not worth it. ESPECIALLY considering they do not clean rooms daily (every 3 days) nor do they offer even a cold continental breakfast. This was a clean equivalent to a Hampton Inn. No more. No less. Certainly NOT worth $364 per night on a non-holiday weekend.

We thank you for your valuable comments about your recent stay here at our hotel. This weekend every hotel was sold out in a 100-mile radius due to the solar eclipse. Our pricing strategy put us in the middle tier of the mid to upper scale hotels. We hope you give us another opportunity to serve you!Jim

In the Hilton family of hotels, there are some limited-service hotels that do have complimentary continental breakfast. Hilton Garden Inn are a full-service hotel and are prohibited from giving breakfast for free. We do have a room package rate that does include breakfast. We thank you for your review and more importantly your business. Safe travles!

The room was clean.. the hot tub was not hot. When I addressed this to the front desk, the response was much less than satisfactory. Draft beers in the “pub” were ridiculous in price. Food was minimal choices, and again were severely overpriced. Found a much better establishment a few minutes down the road. Will not be persuaded to stay there again

We are sorry to hear of your dissatisfaction with your recent stay. Our pub prices were just recently reviewed against our local competition and found to be either at or lower than area establishments. We hope you do give us another chance as our food offering get great review!Jim

Dark and dreary rooms. Bed was broken and wobbly. Would be fine if it wasn’t so expensive.
Response from Donovan on Mar 10, 2024
Thank you for your recent stay with us at the Hilton Garden Inn Joshua, we greatly appreciate the time it takes to provide feedback! I will certainly make note of the comments and have our maintenance team take a look at the bed in the room. While we understand rates can be challenging, especially on days where a lot is going on in the area of Syracuse. I would always suggest giving the Hotel a call directly to see if we can compete with Expedia prices. Our direct phone number is 315-431-4800 ext. 0 to reach the front desk! We hope to see you again soon!

Needed to change dates of my booking. Took over an hr to get someone on the phone. Cost and additional $larger sum to change dates. And the person on the phone did not speak English. Terrible experience and will NEVER use Expedia again!

John

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I booked this hotel (and paid a good amount more), because this hotel had a hot tub. I called before booking and confirmed they had a hot tub and it was working. However, this "hot" tub was barely a luke warm tub, which was very disappointing. If you are gonna have a hot tub, it needs to be hot or don't bother.
Response from Jim S - GM on Jan 19, 2024
Hi John,I have checked the commercial boilers for a reading over the last few days and both units (new units 5 week ago) show that the hot water coming out of the boilers was above 150 degrees. Did you call down to the front desk and let them know. We would have fixed the problem within minutes. We are sorry to hear of your dis-satisfaction! This is the first hot water complaint we have heard in a long time. We hope you give us another opportunity in the future!

The hotel with excellent my only concern was the beds are uncomfortable but the pillows are great. The pool was over chlorinated to the point you could only swim for a half hour because of the fumes giving you a headache. Other than that our stay was great.
