Parking was terrible. I had to park so far away both nights. And the window lights in the parking lot. It’s very dangerous. But it’s a hotel. Guess I shouldn’t have to park so far away. I mentioned it to The Manager on duty and I received a blank stare. She then informed me that it had been fixed and now it’s broken. Not sure what that was supposed to do.

Hilton is pretty good
The room was nice and accessible. Beds were comfy. The trash cans were very very small. The ice machine on the second and third floor did not work. Had to go up to the 4th floor. No microwave available in the room.

Hilton and Hotels.com disagree on offer
The hotel is very clean. The room is very spacious and clean. The bathroom is clean. One of the most important things for our family when we travel is that the place where we sleep is clean. The parking lot was very dark at night, I didn't realize if the streetlights were out or if there were simply no streetlights. It is a huge parking lot that seems to be shared with Budget, an agency that rents cars because there are places that advertise that they do not allow you to park in those places. In reality, the darkness in the parking lot is intimidating. I booked through Hotels.com for two adults and one child, including cancellation and breakfast. When I arrived at the hotel they told me we only had a breakfast credit of $15 per adult. I explained and showed them the reservation, that the cancellation and breakfast were included in the reservation and the hotel responded that this was poor management by Hotels.com that had not updated its specifications. Anyway, at that moment I couldn't do anything, so we just went and had breakfast with the credit they gave us. In any case, it is a ridiculous credit because a tortilla costs $17, which means that it is not even enough for a tortilla with coffee. After all, the coffee costs $3. I think Hilton should review the prices and make sure that their offer on Hotels.com or anywhere their hotels are offered is up to date, and they should honor the advertisements they do anywhere, I don't think I'm the first person to be affected.

University Hilton for the Win
Our family stayed in three different beautiful rooms for my daughter's UF graduation weekend. The rooms were very comfortable and nicely appointed. Shulas Restaurant onsite was a wonderful surprise for fine dining and/or lux room service.

I booked my stay here because it was close to the graduation arena. The room was good, but the bathroom showers need a deep cleaning. Overall, it was a pleasant stay.

Our room bathroom was dirty. There was hair all over the shower/tub, in 4 areas, the shower head piece hooked to the was broken, the toilet paper holder was dirty. The tissue paper was stuffed into the box, as if it had been previously pulled out then placed back. There was a lot of dust on the lamp. The carpets had big stains. I spoke to the Manager and reported all this. So it was a cleanliness issue. Otherwise the property was fine, the staff was helpful, and it was close to the Highway and UF.
