Hilton Garden Inn – Ontario/Rancho Cucamonga

The Hilton Garden Inn sits right across from Ontario Mills Mall, and is a short distance away from the Ontario Airport.

The hotel is suited for business travelers on extended stays, or for the budget conscious traveler.  This is a no frills hotel, but has the basics such as a small workout room, indoor pool and Jacuzzi, and several small meeting rooms.

As you enter the hotel, the dining room is to the right, and a sitting area with TVs and a fireplace to the left.  Ahead and slightly to the left is the check-in desk.  Check-in was smooth and Hilton status and benefits were acknowledged and explained.  To the right of the registration desk is a small “convenience store” which sells snacks, drinks and other items that toothpaste and toothbrushes.

Rather than taking the 750 amenity points, I opted for breakfast, which is either $4.95 for cold foods such as cereal, yogurt, fruit and pastries, or $9.95 for a hot buffet including eggs, bacon, sausage, pancakes, or waffles in addition to the cold options.  The food is pretty good, and service is outstanding.

The room features a king bed and is fairly large.

The hotel is comfortable although not luxurious by any means.  The hotel is very clean, staff is friendly and helpful, and for the rate of $71 thanks to AAA is great for mattress runs, especially with the current promotion with Virgin Atlantic airlines.
