Hotel Hilton Garden Inn a Cave Spring

This hotel is a great ”halfway” point for us when we travel to and from North Carolina. Unlike many hotels at this price point, this one has a fabulous view! Even if you don't have a room that is in the front of the hotel, you can still sit/stand along the edge of the driveway when the sun is setting and capture great views with your camera (better than from a screened/glassed in sleeping room, I should add). We had a sleeping room that faced the front for 1 night at the beginning of our road trip and had a room that faced the back of the property for 1 night at the end of our road trip. For both times, it was a quiet experience, even though there were many guests staying at the property. While the sleeping rooms and amenities are kind of bare-bones (example: just 1 bath, hand and face towel each for 2 guests staying in a king room), the sleeping areas and bathrooms are clean and orderly. Housekeeping is done every two days (a sign in the bathroom is posted alerting guests of this), but this limitation did not apply for our stay since we were only there each time for 1 night. The front desk and dining area staff were friendly and professional. Breakfast can be had in the mornings for a nominal fee (about $12). Their menu included pancakes, French toast, waffles and other hot items, all of which comes with a side. They also had a variety of cold cereals, hot oatmeal, fresh cut fruit, muffins, bagels, etc. I had breakfast there both mornings we were there. They also offered dinner if you prefer not to venture out (we did went out for dinner both times) and they also had a bar where you can get a glass of wine for just $7 (they also had other alcoholic beverages). They have a large urn of coffee in the mornings, where you can fill up on coffee before, during and after breakfast (have to go). Based on the consistent cleanliness and quiet of the rooms, free coffee and available low-cost breakfast, we will stay at this property in the future if our travels take us by Roanoke again.
