This property was in a great location and was dog-friendly; however, the room was damp. They needed to place a dehumidifier in there. I’m sure they would have had I asked, so please ask.

Rooms were very clean. Staff was very helpful. The only thing I can say is they need a microwave in the room, but that’s it. Everything else the room was excellent. I love the fact that they have a restaurant right with the hotel so when we went, it rained at night but we had the option of the hotel restaurant that was nice. Food was excellent. Also at the restaurant and Service was also excellent workers were very attentive to our needs. Definitely would recommend this hotel. It is a 10 star to me.

The room was clean; Daily service was good. There was an outdoor deck on our floor that looked nice but we didn’t get to use due to the weather. The breakfast and coffee were nice, and the common space was nice to have. The location was convenient to a number of good restaurants and breweries, and a great bike rental shop on the Pinellas Trail.

The room had no amenities (glasses, coffee pot with essentials, etc.) the registration desk was set up as a game room and snack bar. Our next door neighbor was an angry person yelling only to himself. I contacted our service rep who pronely dealt with him but to no avail, he kept it up.

Not because of our irritating neighbor, but because the hotel, for the cost, was incredibly unsatisfactory, I will never stay at a Tru Hilton again!

Hilton should be ashamed to have its name associated with this property. Our room was a disgrace. First, It was dark and dingy, so we raised the window shade, only to discover that our window faced a stucco wall just a few feet away. Worse, the window from a different guest room stared right into our room, compromising our privacy. We were thus forced to keep the shade down which had the practical effect of a windowless room. We asked if we could be moved to a room with a better view and were told “all the rooms are like that”. Second, there was a clump of human hair in the bathtub from a previous guest, which was disgusting. Third, the room was very poorly appointed and lacked even a chair or sofa. The only choice was to sit on the bed or stand. Fifth, there was no real closet and no bureau or chest to put our clothing. The hotel was obviously aware of this design defect and had temerity to post a sticker suggesting to use the hooks in the hallway or store items “under the bed.” Sixth, most of the lighting, which was inadequate to begin with, did not work. Seventh, the décor was obviously budget-level with most surfaces covered in cheap laminate. To add insult to injury, we were charged $450, which is literally a multiple of the rate typically charged for hotel rooms of this caliber. We feel we were misled and were victims of price gouging. We have photographs to document the conditions we have described in this review.This review complies with your criteria

In my haste i booked this due to a last minute business trip. Instant regret! Prior to getting out of my rental car, i was met by a valet attendant who immediately advised of the valet/parking rates. Daily valet, $40 per day. Parking a block away in an unsecure lot, $20. After checking into my smallish room, i went to park at the 2nd option. I didn't feel secure in leaving my rental in this lot or paying an addition fee for valet so i chose an express Holiday Inn a short distance from this hotel.

Overall a great hotel. Cleanliness not a problem everything was very clean. Staff were very helpful and informative. Valet is easy to use snd you may as well unless you want to walk a few blocks away. Theres a small lot just for the hotel behind a building next to a food truck, it costs $30 to park there over night. After goijg through all the trouble and fees and inconvenience its almost worth the $10 difference just for them to park it and get it for you. Amenities lacking and thats the reason for 4 instead of 5 stars. The breakfast will leave you thinking you should just wake up and go somewhere else, not many options and the ones you do have are low quality. Stayed for 3 days, was not impressed any day with breakfast. Rooms do not have a microwave. Older mini fridge made a high pitched hum sound the whole stay in our room, got used to it. A/c unit was old and sounded like it struggled each time it came on but it kept the room a crisp 71°. The pool, literally just a wading area its about 10 inches deep no lie it has a no swimming sign next to it we took a picture for the irony. Its noisy here, some i understand cant be helped, the room next to us i think finally realized we were there and were quieter finally. But being where the hotel is, all the bars and parties bring all the people outside. It sounded like a party Friday and Saturday night outside and never stopped. Didnt bother us but something to think about.

Terrible location. Very unclear parking situation. Valet only and no one around. Finally found the one guy who advised there was other parking blocks away for $25 opposed to their $40 charge.
Then my wife tripped and fell over a large curb. The nice attendant remarked that they have problems with that. THEN the “lobby” is on the 3rd floor of the building. Room wasn’t great either. Needed a place near the children’s hospital. Will have to find a different one.

Hotel is really nice. It's not top level, but it has everything you might need. The lobby area has free coffee/tea/hot chocolate at all times along with bananas, oranges and apples. They have 3 balcony area. 1 small, 1 with a lounge pool (1 foot deep with lounge chairs in it), and another with a few tables to hang out. There's free ice and water machines with a water bottle refill station. Theres a small gym if you'd like to use it. The lobby also has many little cozy areas to hang out. They have couches, egg chairs, pool table, games, and a few other things including a arcade machine. You can hang out there and enjoy people if you'd like. The lobby also includes many convenient stuff for purchase like snacks, drinks, water bottles, wine, sandwiches, etc. Breakfast was ok, they have the standard cereal, oat meal, automatic pancake maker, eggs, sausages, bagels, juices, coffee, tea, yogurt machine, and hard boiled eggs. Nothing crazy but does the job. Wish they had more things for the oat meal. Only thing they had when i was there was brown sugar and dried cranberries. They should add chocolate chips or other fruit, i feel like that would make it more complete.
One last thing, parking is not free. If you use valet, it's 40 per night. I used the lot next to the hotel and it came out to around $18 for the night, but if i had know that I probably would have gone with another hotel that included self parking for free. The area is nice, nothing fancy but close enough to all the fu

I would like to take a moment to provide feedback regarding my recent stay at Tru By Hilton St Petersburg Downtown

While I must commend the staff for their exceptional service, I unfortunately had a rather uncomfortable experience due to the condition of the mattresses in my room. They appeared to have several dips and sunk in many places, which made it difficult for me to get a good night's sleep. I found myself having to sleep on the edge of the mattress, which was not ideal.

Given this experience, I regret to say that I cannot recommend this hotel based on my stay. I believe that addressing the mattress issue could significantly improve the comfort for future guests.

If you want a place near to Tropicana Field, and/or the nightlife of downtown St Pete this is the place. It is clean, excellent staff, and was quiet for our two night weekend stay. I would say it's up to Hilton standards. However, the room was fairly small (by many standards) and the shower floor was slippery when wet with one grab bar --- certainly dangerous for older folks. The cost of (necessary) valet parking is high ($40 per day) --- but the valet staff is at your service 12/7.

Our room over looked the pool. Restaurants all over the place great food. We walked the entire weekend to everything that we needed to do. We walked out one of the peers which was equivalently 2 1/2 miles walk, but it was a beautiful scenery all the way.

This was possibly the worst hotel experience that I have ever had . I will start off with the size of the rooms are incredibly small. The beds were the most uncomfortable beds I have ever laid in and when I asked for more pillows, I got told that they didn’t have anymore . What hotel doesn’t have anymore pillows?? The pool really isn’t a pool but literally a 9-12 inch splash pad . (Yes the pool depth is 9-12 inches not feet) but the worst part of the experience was that I couldn’t get an hour of sleep because of how uncomfortable I was . I’d go ANYWHERE else but here.
