Guest Review: The Hilton Garden Inn (Laramie, WY)

One of the three faithful readers I have here at Review Bunker, my mother, has recently had an experience that lent itself quite well to a review, and being the great mother that she is, she agreed to write up a guest review on her experience. Thanks mom, and here’s the review!

Last night my husband and I were invited to join friends for a pre-opening stay at the brand new Hilton Garden Inn in Laramie, Wyoming. It was a rare treat to stay in a previously unoccupied, state of the art hotel where we were wined and dined along with the family and friends of the developer/owner of the hotel. The food was incredible and included some of the best shrimp, oysters and scallops that I have ever had, some delicious lightly smoked and roasted beef, and many other delectable items.

We were given a private tour of the entire facility which includes a large, beautiful conference center. It seems no expense was spared on the creation of this Hilton Garden Inn. The kitchens have the latest technology which enables them to serve fresh, hot food to hundreds of people simultaneously.

Each hotel room is equipped with a flat screen television, microwave oven, refrigerator, coffee maker, and high speed internet hookups. The beds are dual-controlled air type mattresses and unfortunately it wasn’t until this morning, after a less than sound sleep, that we discovered how the controls work, and that a less firm setting would have been more comfortable. The shower had great pressure and even the shampoo and soaps that were provided were very luxurious. Some of the rooms have hot tubs in them and we were shown the presidential suite that has a large bath tub with a flat screen TV on the wall.

The hotel also has a well equipped gym with the latest and greatest in exercise machines. There is a pool and hot tub area with a fun giant mushroom water fountain that would be a blast for kids to play in, and a flowing stream of water that acts as an in-pool tread mill for swimmers who don’t want to actually do laps.

The staff all seemed very capable and excited to be working at such a fine hotel. It apparently took an enormous team effort to get everything in place with all the last minute details. Rumor has it that the management has a deep appreciation for the employees and treats them accordingly.

All in all, it was a very fun and pleasant stay and I would recommend The Hilton Garden Inn to anyone that will be visiting in Laramie, Wyoming for the next 50 or so years, as the hotel seems so well constructed that it will undoubtedly still be there. I would give our stay there a definite 5 stars!

The Hilton Garden Inn (Laramie, WY): 5/5
