“Good location, service not the best”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed January 15, 2013

We stayed at this hotel for 3 nights, we had access to the lounge (as hhonors gold members) which was nice for a american hilton. The gym is a little bit old and not really useful since they seem not to use air condition there..

We stayed on level 11 and had a very noise room, the HVAC was just outside of our room, couldnt sleep the whole 3 nights. We complained at the first night, they told us we could switch tomorrow after 1 night, as we came back the guy said the just give out the last room...... we had to keep the room for all 3 nights.

As we left the hotel we were asked if anything was alright, I told the friendly staff that we couldnt really get sleep and she told me that they will add some hhonors points to my account as a sorry, still havent received them until today (2+ weeks later)...

However, hotel location is nice but the service is not the best. Try to get a quite room backside the hotel when you want to sleep!

“Amazing Hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 14, 2013

Beautiful lobby, professional staff, and comfortable rooms. Within walking distance of downtown St. Petersburg restaurants and pubs. Right across the street from Progress Energy Park (Al Lang Stadium), Mahaffey Theater, and the new Dali Museum.

Room Tip: Rooms on south face Mahaffey Theater, Dali Museum and Albert Whitted airfield (can't hear planes...

“Clean, spotless - - aging - - but expected in a downtown location.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 13, 2013

Stayed on New Years day. Yes, the carpet is due to be replaced, but maintenance and housekeeping are doing a terrific job with a older downtown location. I have been Diamond HHonors for past ten years and this property is holding its own nicely against similarly aged properties. When you travel a lot, you know what to expect in certain markets. This hotel features a fantastic location with lots to do and see, reasonably priced. Excellent staff assistance at every level. If you want brand new, don't expect to find it in downtown locations.

Room Tip: The elevators are in the center and the ice machine is at the end of the hall, so use the a/c blower...

“nine but aging FAAAAAAAAST”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed January 8, 2013

Service here is great but the facilities including pool areas and rooms are deteriorating rapidly from our last stay. They try very hard to please but there are better values in the Tampa/St Pete area. Needs to close for renovations soon

“Very nice but not up to par..”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 5, 2013

Very nice property but nothing like the other st.pete property. Yes this one has a little bit of age to it but age can work in a good way. Service was very great just a few minor things we had wrong with our room. The toliet constantly ran and our mirror was broken at the bottom.. Hope no one got bad luck..
