When your 6-year old asks why the blankets and pillows are “wet” (aka damp and muggy)… that sums it up for an unpleasant stay.

We had a fantastic stay! The staff were incredibly polite and welcoming, making us feel right at home. The complimentary breakfast had a great variety of options, perfect for our family. The location is ideal — just a 3-minute walk to the park, 5 minutes to the Sandbox Museum, and 10 minutes to Coligny Beach, which has restrooms, changing rooms, and a great shopping plaza. We loved grabbing fresh, affordable seafood from Piggly Wiggly nearby. The room was clean and very comfortable, with amazing mattresses and pillows. The sofa was a big plus for our family of five — we were happy to all stay together in one space. Highly recommend this hotel for families looking for comfort, convenience, and friendly service!

Average nothing exceptional

Average experience. Property proclaiming they were 100% non smoking place with several signs everywhere, yet as we arrived first experience was a lady sucking on her Virgina Slims at the door. Trashy parents at the pool smoking and vaping too nobody was willing to enforce any of it. The place is rather run down there was no water for about 3 hours one day and some alarm was going off in the lobby constantly.... Ladies at the front desk were nice and we're trying to do the best they could. Overall experience is you get what you pay for this is a place run on a tight budget, don't expect anything at exceptional. Towels were small and old. Room was decent, breakfast was very very processed, didn't touch it. No recycling available.

Couldn't have stayed at a better place as far as location, pool, easy in and out! Staff was always checking the pool and grounds for cleanliness. Our room smelled a little mildewy but realized the hallways are open air so the moisture must be hard to fight. Breakfast has great options. Charged Tesla there nightly. Gator in the pond on property! Bed was uncomfortable but 2 nights we were perfectly fine! Can walk to beach (10 min), restaurants, bars, shops, new playground right next door. Trolley stop on corner.

Hilton Inn HHI

Sets the bar for pet friendly hotel. We’ve come here a few times now and the new renovations have really made it excellent. Breakfast is phenomenal for what it is. Great location to beach and plaza. Will come back every year. Only negative I would say is gym equipment is lacking a little. Still has enough for a workout, but could use some pull up bars/ cable machines/ elliptical etc
