Excellent experience

My daughter was married on June 26, 2021 and we held the reception at the Hilton Garden Inn in Urbandale, Iowa. I HIGHLY recommend the Hilton Garden Inn as a wedding reception venue! We worked primarily with Miki, Kathy, Kelli and James. Throughout the entire process, the staff was professional, easy to work with and very accommodating. Their customer service level is top notch!

Every year since this property was built, I have personally attended numerous events at this venue (as a guest or volunteer, I was not the event planner or bride) including weddings, receptions, non-profit gala auctions, corporate meetings, banquets, etc. This venue has a great reputation and loyal, repeat customers.

In every instance, the event space (as well as the lobby and lodging space) was impeccably maintained and attractively appointed.

Everything about my experience was positive; the staff was engaged and professional, the food was delicious, the space was attractive and the parking was very convenient. I can't think of a single negative experience about this venue.

As a guest, I always have the impression that this staff is skilled and that they care about everyone having a memorable, spot-on experience. I always look forward to returning to this venue. I have yet to be disappointed.

As a meeting planner, I work with a lot of hotels. We have been holding our Annual Meeting and Fall Meeting at the Hilton Garden Inn for years now. They are nothing but professional and easy to work with. The value and price of the food & beverage and sleeping rooms is very reasonable and competitive. The easy access from the interstate is also a big bonus for our association. I have nothing but good things to say about the Hilton Garden Inn and that's why we keep coming back. I highly recommend them for meetings and receptions.

We were so completely satisfied "that is really not the word but for lack of a better word it will have to do". We were treated with such respect and so much
helpfulness. We were able to get exactly what we needed and our guests are still talking about the great time we all had. We so enjoyed the help and support we were
given and the suggestions that were presented so that we could pull this off. We would both like to say to anyone that was looking for a place and the right people
to help with any of the venue that are used for marriages to deeply consider the Hilton Gardens for there venues. They are very professional but at the same time take
the time to get to know you and to get familiar with what you need and what is important to you. We can't praise them enough, they are not only professionals at what they do they are friends that will be remembered forever.
