    Woman who checked us in was fine, but the young man at the front desk this morning was a bit rude. He implied that I was trying to skip out on paying for the valet parking, even though I had my car back, and told the attendant I was checking out. Plus, the hotel had my credit card on file!

    Had a very late check for my family to sleep and shower. The rooms were clean and tge complimentary breakfast was pretty good which was a plus. I would just say the rest of the hotel needed a little more upkeep. Other than that very pleasant stay for my family of 7. Plus convenient connecting rooms.

    I loved the stay. The room was a little smaller than I’m used to. The parking garage only was a little different ( almost like being in NYC ) overall the hotel was in the heart of downtown and you could get most places by walking. I would recommend.

    Location and cleanliness of the room. The room was smaller and parking was 40 for valet and 25 for self park. If I'm paying for a room that should include a free parking option. I can pay less per night and park at the stadium. Your prices are ridiculous.

    We were in for a one-night stay. All of the staff that we encountered including the valet, were very happy and pleasant. The room was comfortable, the shampoo, lotion, shower gel containers were full. The towels and sheets smelled fresh and were soft. They did not have the over bleached smell at all. The location was perfect to I-275 as well as the eateries. Very Very pleased. The bathroom looked a little outdated with some wear and tear but acceptable for us.

    Location was perfect, it was an easy walk to the Tampa Bay Rays stadium, we are Detroit Tiger Fans! We walked to a sports bar and grill “Ferg’s, easy walk and great food. The coffee and breakfast in the morning was delicious! Most of all was how nice and courteous the staff was from the staff that parked our car to the staff at the counter so friendly and helpful. Even the gal cleaning the rooms when we were on our way to the room said hello and said if you need anything in the room let us know. In room coffee maker? …I went downstairs about 5:30 am and took back to our room 4 cups of coffee was nice and fresh tasting.

    A clean, affordable (at least when the Rays are out of town!) hotel in a great neighborhood! There's a wading pool instead of a real pool and the rooms are a bit tight. Beds are comfortable, shower is great, breakfast is very good, staff is friendly and helpful and the place is very clean. Only thing I didn't like was that overnight parking has gone up to $40, plus tax! And then of course, you have to tip the guy. On balance though, a stay here is a good experience.

    Not worth the money! Hotel had 2 elevators; however 1 of the elevators were out of service. Therefore, with only 1 elevator working, it took a very long time to get to the floor you wanted. We ended up taking the stairs most of the time (our room was on the 6th floor). The room was very small and shower door did not close properly, so when showering, water would get all over the bathroom floor. For the price of the room I feel that parking should have been free for guests, but instead it was $40 for 1 night. The best thing about the hotel included the amenities such as billiard room and also the location.

    I will start off by saying the staff was nice enough and they had a free shuttle to run you down to the pier and restaurant area since this hotel is not in walking distance of those amenities. It is adjacent to the Rays stadium so it would be ideal for game days. Parking was $40 a night, pricey for the type of hotel, but the valet was extremely fast. I did not try the breakfast but there was a nice area with snacks and all day coffee. Things I found to be a problem were room cleanliness and the broken elevator. When we arrived there was a noticeably dirty towel hanging in the bathroom and the shower door was pretty dirty. The toilet flushed very weakly and the smell in the shower was off putting. It had a large drain and smelled off. One of the 2 elevators was broken so everyone in the entire hotel (including housekeeping) was waiting for 1 elevator and the wait was very long at times and sometimes full when it finally arrived. It sounded like it wasn’t an issue that was going to fixed in the near future.

    Parking was a big issue. Your online description said " valet parking available". What it should have said was "Valet parking $40/day or $25/day to park yourself across the street. No other options available! We were extremely annoyed about this, especially as we had two vehicles!

    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.

    Breakfast was absolutely terrible. The people in other rooms could be heard slamming their doors and being very loud into late hours of the night and early hours of the morning. The only pleasant thing I can say about the place is the location and the distance it has from local spots and activities.

    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

    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.

    The room and hotel were clean and quiet. I enjoyed some time on the roof top terrace. I parked in a nearby lot instead of using the valet parking. It costs less, and makes it easier to make trips to the car, but is a bit of a pain to renew if staying two nights.

    Hard for me to draw down on what I liked about this hotel. My college dorm room was better than this hotel room. The place was absolutely disgusting. Dirt, hair bodily fluids dried up on the floor. So guess they didn’t mop or sanitise the place. Bed linen clean but not ironed.

    I think my visit to the check desk last 5 minutes. They had everything ready. We call ahead to see if we could get a room in the back of hotel away from Central Ave traffic noise. 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.

    The room smelled moldy, the mini fridge didn’t seem like it worked (barely cooled). I would not recommend this hotel to anyone with kids. Parking options were limited to $40 per day valet or city parking at $11/day of which we had to wake up at 5 am to re up since we couldn’t do it longer than 12 hours. It’s so inconvenient to unload kids and everything right there for the valet service and then having to have them get your car everytime you need something or going somewhere with the car because you had kids and need car seats and at such a steep price. I personally won’t be returning here.

    This place is great for travelers that love nightlife, and a downtown experience. I however, was traveling for business and found it too loud for the needs of my stay. Parking was somewhat inconvenient, there is street parking that is monitored in 2 hour increments or valet parking for a fee. The guys at the valet stand are great and provided me the best customer service of the entire visit. The walls of the room are fairly thin, and street noise from local nightlife created a vibrant auditory experience that doesn’t lend itself to late sleepers or early morning risers. There is a grocery store, corner store, and great restaurants within walking distance. I would return to this hotel if staying for a fun getaway, just not for business again.

The other guests had extremely loud music playing into early morning hours with no hotel staff intervening. And the "pool" is about 12 inches deep and is not kid/user friendly for any sort of swimming (also sort of misrepresented). Lastly, the hotel rooms smelled of smoke as did the elevators, which was less than desirable.
