Tired and shabby hotel. Cracked tiles and peeling paint in the (suite!!) bathroom, broken furniture and dirty mirror upon checkin. Dated design, poor ambience. Noise from elevators passing through the shaft is heard in the rooms and interferes with sleep. Bed linens are half polyester and feel plasticy. Coffee kit has disposable styrofoam cups - disappointing for a Hilton. Bad smell of mildew in public areas (lobby and ballroom / gym aeras). In general this felt more like a tired budget motel than a Hilton.

The Hotel needs updates. In the public area there are stained ceiling tiles, peeling wall paper.
The rooms were OK but the bathroom was very small with very little counter space.
The toilet was old and very low. The room had a tub, no walk in shower and the diverter for the shower worked poorly.
The price was reasonable but the hotel definitely needs an update

The hotel room had a very damp odor. The smell woke me up at nights! I complained about it but was told it’s an old hotel and all the rooms smell the same. The water in the sink backed up on three separate days despite having engineering fix it twice. The first time they fixed it, they did not nail the board under the sink back into place and it fell on my 9 year old hand as she was retrieving a towel. Luckily she wasn’t hurt. Above the shower, looked like there is water leak that kept getting patched up and probably contributed to the smell of the room. When I pointed that out, the manager from house keeping just looked at me and nodded. Only once for the entire time we were there, house keeping accessed the room, removed the garbage and made up one of the two beds!!! The carpet had a huge permanent stain right under TV, you cannot avoid looking at it.
Pros: the pool area was nice. The staff were friendly. Hotel was centrally located and walking distance to almost everything we wanted to do

When you stay at a Hilton and pay Hilton prices, you should expect Hilton service.

Stayed here for an awards banquet and wanted to support the hotel that was hosting it. I normally would have grabbed a more fun AirBnB that we have used in the area but I wanted to stay close to the weekend’s festivities.

What I didn’t mind was the chipping paint, the water stained ceilings on the 5th floor, and the AC unit that struggled to keep up although it wasn’t abnormally warm and was on April.

What I do mind is poor customer service. When another customer in front of me complained about the additional costs, the desk agent muttered about being tired of “everyone wanting something for nothing.” At that moment it made me reflect how EVERYTHING except the infused water in reception is an extra cost on an already Hilton priced room.

I also watched as another customer service rep hassled an elderly woman about checking her bags for the day after she checked out in the morning.

So while I was okay to bite the bullet for the initial stay, I will likely find other accommodations in a future stay.

Breakfast was good, but costs extra. We didn't get fresh towels even after two nights. Had to ask for them. Carpet was stained in the room. Parking was not.included, it is valet and costs extra. This hotel was priced WAY higher than surrounding hotels and still charged extra for everything. Definitely not worth the price or the name. Rooms are also not able to be cancelled even with the insurance. Overall disappointed with this hotel. The area was really nice and walkable, just use a different hotel.

Stay away, this is a motel 6 with a Hilton logo on the side. 20 minutes to drop off your car, another 20 minutes to request your car, 30 minutes in line to check in, only 1 elevators works and takes over 10 minutes just for it to come. I waited in line for things at this hotel more than I enjoyed my vacation. The rooms are dated and filthy, they had some non code conforming electrical work that used the wrong conduit at the floor boards, signs of moisture everywhere, and just smelt like mold.

I was a little disappointed in the quality of this hotel given the extremely high cost to stay there. Two of the three elevators were not working during our stay and they had the stairwell blocked off. So we had no choice but to wait in a long line to get into the one working elevator after coming back from a long day. The elevator wait times were too long. I was also disappointed there was no fan in my room's bathroom. The bathroom was very small and got very steamy/foggy when running the shower due to no fan exhaust fan in there. The pool was also not as nice as in the pictures.

Upon arrival we were told that our room was ready early but that we’d be charged an additional $25 for “early” check-in.

This property is very dated and there were dirty towels and sheets on nearly every floor of the property. They wanted $25 for early check in even though there was a room ready. They said they would call when the $25 would no longer apply but never did. I had to return to the front desk and ask again. This fee was inexplicably waived for a family member staying the same dates. Valet was $45. Pool was freezing. Amenities lacking. Would not stay again.

First room smelled very musty with a sweet scent on top of it (I assume to mask the odor). Asked to switch rooms. The desk staff were very accommodating and the second room was fine. Furniture, carpet, etc. are in need of
refurbishing and there are no amenities of the type that you expect from a Hilton hotel. A problem because the room charge was $345 for one night plus $45 for valet parking (no self parking on the premises). The hotel is very very well situated for walking to many downtown attractions, bars, and restaurants.

On check in, I learned that I didn’t need two of my six night reservation, and the staff refused to give me the right to cancel blaming Expedia, and Expedia said it was the hotel‘s fault. Very frustrating.

I probably should’ve booked directly with the hotel instead of through Expedia.

I have stayed at the Hilton hotel chain many times but this was on of the worst experiences ever.
When first checked in I got a room with ripped carpeting and what appeared to be a uncleaned bathroom. I immediately went back to the front fest and requested a new room which was approved without any issues. When I got to new room (217) the clock had the wrong time, there was an unpleasant smell, the conjoining room door lock was broke. (I have pics for these) On Saturday an alarm went off at 4:00 am blasting us to leave the room and go outside. Sunday I asked for an extended check out as my flight was delayed and was charged $80 for a 2:00pm check out which Idid consent to. I also had to request twice for maid service.
By far one of the worst experiences.

Nothing too fancy but a good place to stay location wise right in Downtown St Petes. From our hotel we had easy walks to Central Ave, the Dali museum and the pier. Publix grocery store right across the street (behind hotel) is also convenient for any need while on your trip. The HEATED OUTDOOR POOL was my favorite amenity! Breakfast at Tangerine was a little too pricey for me so i opted elsewhere for my meals. My only drawback about the room itself is the shower curtain. there is no liner, or what is supposed to be the liner does not meet the tub, at all. The curtain itself is cloth. There is no way to stop the water from the shower from getting onto the floor. Had to use multiple towels to clean up a small pond in the bathroom after my showers.

I had a 4pm check in time. Got there at 6:20 pm and the room was not ready. The room was finally ready just before 8 pm around 4 hours late. I drove for 7 hours to make it to this hotel just to sit around and wait.
When we finally did get back to the room there were sheets missing for the pullout which I called the desk about and they never brought them up. The room was mostly clean but there was trash in the bathroom. Why does it take 4 extra hours to clean a room and there is still trash in the room?
Staff was friendly but I do not trust that request will be taken care of on time if at all.
They offered to comp the valet cost at check in because of the late room and it was still on my bill in the morning that was emailed to me. I had to go back to the desk and get this removed.
I will never stay at this hotel again.

The Hilton was nice. The room and bathroom were a little small for our liking but it was clean and neat. The beds didn’t feel like they were a Queen size. My husband and I felt squished. I had to sleep on the opposite side just to feel comfortable. He’s 6’4 and I’m 5’11. It felt like we were sleeping on a full and not a queen. But other than that it was a pleasant stay.
