text: I am writing this review as I sit in the Hilton Garden Inn at CharlottennThe rooms are adequate with most coming with a flat screen television or two comfortable beds and ample showers or hot tub jacuzzis There is also a full service restaurant and bar in the Lounge area of the HotelnnI will also give them a nod for their complimentary shuttle which will travel you anywhere in a three mile radius of the hotel The dude driving the shuttle was very polite and curtious I am guessing because he did not have to stay or work in the Hotel itselfnnUnfortunately that is where the good stuff endsnnThe gym facilities are atrocious Treadmills a recumbant bike and an Elliptical machine with maybe medicine balls littered around a room that measures ft x ft if that A grotesque pool with a grimey bottom that on more than one occasion I considered drowning myself in to free myself from my mortal shackles and break free from this prison of a hotelnnConcierge was not helpful at all when I arrived at the front desk and asked if I could score a bottle of water to use the gym because I did not feel like paying the fee for drinking the Fiji water they had in my room the guy at the front desk stuck up his nose and snootily informed me You can purchase water from the gift shop Sorry buddy at over bucks per night you can give me a water for the cost of free Also what kind of idiot buys bottled water as a giftnnThe in House internet is the slowest you will find I am a computer IT guy myself and it is flagrantly apparent that this place throttles their bandwidth usage Online Games of any type slow to a crawl and streaming video sites such as Hulu or YouTube take forever and a day to load This is the year we should have hover cars by now but apparently its too much to ask for a sad excuse for a Hilton to manage their Internet Connection enough to let me watch the Keyboard Cat before dying of boredomnnThe location is also horrible Right next to the Nascar Hall of Fame and that is about it Everywhere you would want to go is located mile or so into the city so you have to take the shuttle to get anywhere Without the shuttle this place would be unstayablennAlright Mediocre Rooms Satisfactory Shuttle Service Snooty Concierge Horrible Gym Facilities Atrocious Location Do not waste your time I saw a park bench a few blocks away that I will be living under during my next stay in Charlotte Do yourself a favor and visit the aLoft at the Epicenter it beats this place in every measurable way
