We stayed at Hilton Garden Inn Silver Spring White Oak between November 26 through December 1, 2024. While we were there, many cars were broken into on the property, with windows smashed in all of the cars parked in front of the hotel, it was discovered on Thanksgiving morning. Apparently 9 cars were broken into, we learned from affected guests. The following day, more guests had their windows broken into (or chipped with an attempt of a break-in) with contents of their car stolen. We were surprised by the lack of notification from the hotel, their denial to guests that this had just occurred the day prior (and seemed to be a common occurrence based on our subsequent online research), lack of cleanup of glass on the parking lot grounds. The strip of cars being targeted on Thanksgiving day, are in front of the hotel, although they are blocked by planted bushes. It seems irresponsible of the hotel, due to the repeat crime, to not install cameras around the property and cut down the bushes for visibility, and/or hire a security office to cover the premise. Our car was not affected, although we parked at our family's residence and took an uber to and from the hotel to avoid the hassle of a break-in. We typically stay at Hilton Garden Inn during our family visits; and although the apathy of staff is off-putting, it has been convenient as a HH member. We will not be staying at this Silver Spring White Oak Hilton Garden Inn unless an effort is made to increase their security.
