Just back from 4 nights at the Hilton Garden Inn for the Silverstone Festival. I'm not familiar with the Hilton Garden Inn chain but have stayed at Hilton hotels previously, albeit some time ago.
The hotel presents well, being smart, modern and clean. There are a number of room choices and we went for Kingsize and trackside.
Room format is typically of those found in US motels; a bedroom with a shower cubicle, toilet cubicle and a wash hand basin in the corner of the room; functional but not what we were expecting.
Shower door opens into the bedroom and there is nowhere to put your wet towel so these probably get re-laundered
Aircon went faulty one night and was fixed promptly once reported. It would seem you also have to request reception to alter the room settings.
We ate in the bar as the restaurant was fully booked - food arrived quickly and was well cooked but we had to find cutlery and serviettes ourselves and the requested condiments never appeared.
Trackside balcony was useful but the paddock overbridge obscures the view - the best vantage points being the balcony alongside the restaurant or the roof top balcony and these are available to all guests.
Whilst the hotel is inside the circuit for major events you find a fence erected around the carpark such that it is now outside the circuit - that means a much longer walk with your event tickets to get out of the circuit, loop back round to find your car, then retrace and join the queue to get back in - not great
