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.

You have to pay for parking which is 30-45 dollars. Hotel is alittle expensive for not having parking included. Also, checking in took a while as there were two staff helping 1 person.

This hotel is a bit run down and needs a desperate update. Our room was disgusting with holes in the carpet, beat up furniture, rust on the bathroom hardware and the beds were horrible. This honestly reminded of a Quality Inn off an interstate.

The lobby looked good, but unfortunately that is where it ended. Our room was located by the lifts, which were in need of an upgrade & a clean. The noise from the lifts was very loud throughout the night. Our room had very old and worn carpet, broken/damaged furniture & missing tile in the very tired bathroom with very dated fixtures. We will not be returning.

The AC thermostat did not work well.

The staff was friendly.

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.

Our room was neglected for several days. We had called multiple times for simple amenities such as fresh sheets, towels, etc., and we were constantly told it would be taken care of and it was not for four days.

The housekeeping staff was beyond rude and unaccommodating however, the location was excellent and very close to town and the Pier.

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.

Hotel was relatively old, but assistant service manager was the worst experience. We had next door banging loud music and screaming starting 2am, and I had to go downstairs to complain. The next day during check out, this assist manager showed absolutely no empathy or being apologetic, instead gave the snobby comments and was truly rude. Name is Alex Wahl. I didnt expect a Hilton stay, especially in St Pete to be so bad. Needless to say i will definitely stay away going forward. Not worth a 2nd chance.

The staff was kind and helpful, but overall we would definitely not stay there again. We came into town for a concert and didn’t have enough time to request a new room, but the room was not clean and a lot of the facility was in poor condition. I don’t even blame the cleaning staff because apparently the cleaning policy is that they only have 15-20 minutes to clean every room which is insane! Once you walked past the front lobby to the elevators, everything looked like it was ready to fall apart or hadn’t been updated in 20 years. The elevators also were down and caused long wait times for the one that was working. Overall, it was the least comfortable I’ve felt in a hotel that we paid that much for, it felt like a motel situation instead of a Hilton.
