Hilton Garden Inn West 35th Street

Hilton Garden Inn West 35th Street Overview

You know what surprised me most about Hilton Garden Inn West 35th Street? How quiet it actually gets at night, considering you’re literally in the thick of Manhattan’s Garment District. I mean, sure, you’ll hear the occasional siren – it’s New York after all – but the windows do a decent job keeping the street noise at bay, which honestly wasn’t what I expected from a three-star place right on West 35th.

The location is actually pretty brilliant if you think about it. You’re a quick walk to Penn Station (maybe 8-10 minutes if you’re not dragging a massive suitcase), Herald Square is right there, and you can easily hop over to the Empire State Building – though I’d skip the tourist crowds and just admire it from the street. The lobby has this sort of modern-but-not-trying-too-hard vibe, with those big windows facing the street that give you perfect people-watching opportunities. The front desk staff seemed genuinely helpful when I was there, not just going through the motions like at some chain hotels.

What really works about this place is how it handles the practical stuff without making a big deal about it. The rooms are clean and functional – nothing fancy, but the beds are actually comfortable and there’s enough space to spread out your stuff without feeling cramped. The bathroom renovation looks fairly recent, which you definitely notice after staying at some of the older properties in the area. I appreciated having a mini-fridge and microwave, especially since grabbing food in that neighborhood can get expensive fast. The fitness center is small but gets the job done if you need to work off all those New York pizza slices, and honestly, the 24-hour market in the lobby saved me more than once when I needed snacks or forgot to pack something. Parking is available but pricey – though that’s pretty standard for this part of Manhattan, and you’re probably better off using public transit anyway. The whole experience just feels more personal than what you’d get at the massive hotels nearby, without sacrificing the reliability you want from the Hilton brand.

  Location was perfect. Very comfortable and clean. Our room was large enough to enjoy relaxing. Staff were friendly and helpful with questions. I would gladly return.
  
  What could be improved: The only thing I didn’t care for was a housekeeping staff member knocked on our door at 9am on our departure day to see when we would be leaving. We knew check out was noon ( which was nice)
  She reminded us that 12 was check out.
