Checked in at 3:30pm. Smoking room with two beds is impossible to find these days so we stayed here. First there was something wrong with the thermostat. We set at 72 and it was ice cold in our room. The 'fridge' is in pieces and we had to tip it to stop making a horrible noise so we could sleep. Toilet runs and stops, runs and stops, was leaky. Room enough to sleep 4 adults has only one chair at the desk? No ash tray in smoking room and we asked twice to have one sent up but never got one, so we ended up using a drinking glass. After 12 hours on the road we were looking forward to using the hot tub alas the heater was not working so it was only a tub. Room was half the size of Holiday inn. Bath was WAY too small for the price. Not entirely sure how clean one bed was but we smokers get the tatterd linens. Price was right but room was very wrong.

We stayed two nights, ate in the restaurant for both breakfasts...omelets, grits, biscuits, ate dinner the first night, too. Clean, beautiful. They are about to redo, but it's great just like it is...very well maintined, great staff.

I frequent Hilton's and like HGI because they are consistently above average: beds are some of the most comfortable hotel beds you will find and it is convenient having restaurant and bar on property. What stands out with this HGI was the wonderful smile and welcome when I walked in the lobby! Koran was at the front desk with a thousand watt smile true southern hospitality. She checked me in promptly and even found me an upgraded room (I am a Hilton Honors frequent traveler). Room (actually a suite) is one of the nicest I have ever stayed in at HGI. Lighting in room is excellent, hotel has 32" flat panel TV's in living area and bedroom. TV's have over 50 channels available. Microwave and small refrigerator are in room. Highly recommend this hotel. Ask for room number ending in 16 for a suite like this one.

You can actually see the rockets of the Space Center from the parking lot, which is cool. The property itself is consistent with most HGI's - new, quality, friendly, clean, efficient, and effective. Absolutely nothing wrong.
