“great location for Dali Museum, USF”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed November 18, 2012

It's a decent hotel but the location can't be beat. I've stayed here twice in the last year and a half. As others have said, the rooms could be a little bit updated but they are still very nice. If you are visiting the Dali Museum or have business with USF, USCG or Fla Fish & Wildlife, it is a short pleasant walk. Also, a nice walk to downtown St Pete and the local beach parks.
I had more than 20 colleagues with me and no one had any problems.
Staff is definitely first rate.
The bar is terrible if you are a beer lover. World of Beer is also nearby.
None of us used the restaurant.

Room Tip: 3rd floor that overlooked the roof has HVAC noise

“Just Ok!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed November 17, 2012 via mobile

This was by far the worst Hilton I have ever stayed in. Rooms are dated however they are comfort. Staff did a great job making the best of faulty internet and cable tv.

Internet spotty and non existent out side of your room. Tv's although large flat screens spent as much time searching for a signal as they did playing.

If you do not sleep like a log stay away from suites need the elevators very loud all day and night.

Breakfast buffet at 15.00 just ok

Hhonors lounge was the best part of Stay "John" was a real joy to visit with.

Self parking in an open lot at 14.00 no valet available.

“Great location, view, service”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 11, 2012

Great location, walking distance to museums, pier, dining. Convenient location to Publix grocery store and drug store as well. Park your car and don't bother with parking meters. Very unique specialty stores along the way. Staff in hotel very attentive and courteous. Starbucks on location to get that morning start. No refrigerator in room when arrived, since I was staying a few days for conference was able to call down to front desk and request a small frig to be brought to room, 1 was available and provided quickly to have some basic items in room. Swimming pool located outside, so if you don't find ask. Beds very comfortable. Trash cans a little too small.

“Great location, view and friendly staff”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 9, 2012 via mobile

I have stayed here three different times this year. The hotel needs a little (and I do mean little) updating in the rooms, but I have seen a lot worse. They do have large tvs and great views from the room. The bathrooms are a little small depending on the room you get, but you are in the city where space is at a premium.

The location is perfect. You can walk to dinner every night for a month and eat somewhere different every time. The ocean is a couple blocks away. The fitness center is about average for this size hotel.

The staff in the honors lounge is top notch. It is obvious they like their jobs and care for their customers.

This hotel can get packed up quick so try to book more then a week or two in advance.

I will be back here for at least 5 or 6 more weeks next year.

“Excellent Hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 5, 2012

Myself and my mum stayed in the Hilton for 9 days in October. The staff were very helpful and friendly. the room was very clean, modern and spacious. The beds were very comfortable. Our stay included breakfast and it was just fabulous. You could choose something different each morning if you wanted to. I'd highly recommend this hotel for its comfort, location and friendly staff.

Room Tip: We asked for a room on one of the higher floors and had a lovely view
