Booked an expensive suite but they put us right next to the elevator which shook the walls a night a could not sleep at all. Plus my daughter had a 15 hour gymnastics competition from 6am on Saturday. Came back to the hotel room to sleep but because of the elevator the room was shaking all night and could not sleep only to tell us innthe morning that all Suites are located next to the elevator. Also there is no ice machines in any floors so we had to come down to the lobby to pick up a bag full of ice. This is only a low class hotel does but could not believe also Hilton does this. Terrible stay. Would love some to call back from Hilton.

This hotel is TIRED. The carpet was worn, the heating and cooling is off. they have a air purifier in the room, but it still seemed funky. The ceilings in the main area were all damaged and leaking. Only 1-2 of the treadmills were working. The location is phenomenal and the people who work there are so friendly and helpful.

Hotel was very clean and well maintained. The bed was really soft so it became lopsided from sleeping on one side, which wasn’t great for my back. And the little snack shop next to the front desk smelled like urine. It might very well have been cleaning chemicals but that odor, especially next to food, needs to go.

Nice stay and short walk to concert venue. The property was clean and staff texted to see if there were any issues or concerns with the stay. All was good so no need for it but it was nice to know that anything we had issues with was just a text away.

The Hilton is great if you seeing a Show at the Mahaffey Theater or visiting the Dali Museum. The Staff was friendly and helpful. My only gripes were that initially we were given the wrong Room and our Shower didn't work,but these issues were corrected immediately. The Room was relatively clean and the Bed was extremely comfortable.

Quiet location, great staff, bad mattress.
This Hilton is walking-distance to the water, Tropicana Stadium, The Dali museum, and the theater. Quiet part of town. The common areas of this Hilton are beautiful and the staff was awesome. There's a built-in Starbucks, and the breakfast buffet was very nice. Didn't use the bar, but it looked cozy. Although only 2 out of 3 elevators were working, wait times were good. The room that we were in looked a little like an upscale yard sale - the furniture was mostly nice, but did not necessarily match, and some items were scuffed. The bathroom looked like it had undergone several consecutive mini-renovations, but was nice enough. Everything was clean, except the towel shelves in the bathroom, which were dusty. The biggest drawback was the mattress. With 2 of us (normal weight) in the king-sized bed, we both rolled towards the middle! Not a great night's sleep, and sore backs the next morning.
