To be honest, with staying at a Hilton Hotel, I expected so much more from it. We were to stay 3 nights at the hotel, but only after staying one night, we checked out and moved to another hotel. The room had an awful smell to it, coming from the bathroom, from the moment we stepped into the room and it never left. We were also placed at the very farthest end of the hotel, farthest away from the beach, when it was obvious the hotel was not full or booked. This was very disappointing! The beach itself was very small, with a lot of debris washed up from the ocean. There was also a problem with the air conditioning in the hotel. Maintenance was called, the problem was looked at, but not resolved. I would not recommend the hotel to anyone else. We ended up staying at another location, I found on my own, that I would highly recommend on Siesta Key, FL. Called "The Palm Bay Club". It was wonderful, so much more spacious for the price, closer to much more to do and see and the beach was amazing!! I highly recommend staying there instead!
Great Place to Stay

The entire staff is amazing, welcoming and friendly. The rooms and hallways do show a little bit thier age. But the pool, hot tub and beach area make up for it tenfold. On a whim we decided to check out the gulf side of Florida, now we will return every year - and we are definetely going to stay here.

Although aging, this hotel is adequate. The staff here is what makes the stay!! After a glitch with the taxi at 6:30am- the employees developed a plan to get us to the airport in time for our flight. The security guard gave us a ride in his own car!! We made the flight with 1 minute to spare. Way above the call of duty on the staff's part. Excellent.
