Hilton Garden Inn Melville (actually in Plainview)

I went on the search for hotel blocks today. I didn't even know about the Hilton Garden Inn until one of the sales reps from another hotel mentioned them. But I decided to take a look since I was in the area. So far I like what I saw, but the sales rep wasn't in to talk $$.

Does anyone have any information/reviews about them?? TIA

Re: Hilton Garden Inn Melville (actually in Plainview)

I stayed there two weeks ago as part of block and had no issues as a guest. The hotel was actually really nice and they kept the bar open late for us (they normally close at 2). Only thing is, I know that the rate they gave her was higher than the rate I found online, so Id try to make sure they adjust rates appropriately so that guests are not paying more than what you find online. I believe her block was 155 a night and I wound up paying 120.

We went there to look at rooms for our block. We ended up blocking at the Four Points across the street for two reasons:

1- Lower price per night - we were quoted $140 per night at the Hilton and $135 for the Four Points.

2- The bridal suite only had a shower stall, no tub, and FH LOVES to take baths.

There were a few other things too...including the shuttle, and bar/lounge restrictions. You can FM me if you want more info.

I have a block there and we're havinga big rehearsal dinner there, they have been great to work with.

Re: Hilton Garden Inn Melville (actually in Plainview)

I have a two blocks for my OOT guests and also for guests who don't want to drive (b/c we are providing a shuttle). We're also having the after party there; they offer appaetizers to my guests in the bar when we come back. It was the nicest one we found.

check out Marriot Melville- nice hotel and was quoted $109

Re: Hilton Garden Inn Melville (actually in Plainview)

I was able to negotiate the Four Points Sheraton down to $125/night for next June and got the Hilton Gardens down to $130/night in June.

I went there to look at room blocks, and also ended up booking the Four Points as well.

Re: Hilton Garden Inn Melville (actually in Plainview)

For Sat night June 2010 they told me the block was $145.

We ended up going with Huntington Hilton..

Re: Hilton Garden Inn Melville (actually in Plainview)

I have a room block there...I went to the Four points also and I was quoted the same price....There isn't a room for me to host a breakfast at the Garden Inn now though so I am a little annoyed with that......We are having our breakfast at the Huntington Hilton and they made it seem like it would have been cheaper to get rooms through them...so I would check them out. Good Luck

They didn't have a room available? or they just didn't have the room?? I could have sworn they told me they had a room.

The Huntington Hilton prices were almost exactly the same (the difference of $1) so maybe I'll lean towards that.

Re: Hilton Garden Inn Melville (actually in Plainview)

Sorry, they have rooms for breakfast, but when I went to get one, which was a little late - there were none left. But she never called me to ask and I told her that I was going to have a breakfast there....no biggie though - the Hilton down the road is just as fine. Good Luck with your plans.
