Essentially party central. If you have children and prefer not to have them around all the drinking and people acting like fools - go elsewhere. People stomped, ran down the hall, scream/giggled, banged around all night. The room was underwhelming and rush cleaned (hair on shower curtain, finger prints on the mirror, dust all over the AC unit). For what we paid, I would have expected more. The “breakfast” consist of bagels and cream cheese - it’s not actual breakfast like you’d get other places for the same price. Won’t be back.

Average Hotel

The pillows were too soft and couldn’t sleep well. The breakfast was ok-need more variety-like waffles! The pool towels were very small-not big enough to lay on. We asked for more shower towels in the morning and never received them until later that afternoon after we had to ask for the second time. Location was great! Close to Siesta Key beach and restaurants!

Filthy. Urine stains on mattress along with black mold, and hair. Staff were ambivalent and could careless. Cannot get anyone from hotel to call me back because they were supposed to refund me but did not. BEWARE. Not what you would expect from Hilton. So disguisting.
