The hotel was somewhat difficult to find. I was pleased to have a GPS. The location was wonderful as were the accomodations. The Mid-March weather was a bit cool but perfect for golf. The hotel had a large firepit which we enjoyed. The pools were lovely. Service was good but not extraordinary. The staff was extraordinary. I would have preferred to be there when it was slightly warmer but the island was gorgeous. We loved the signage even though if often made finding shops/stores difficult. Take the Red Trolley Tour if you have nevver been. Book it early as it was filled. The expense was well worth the cost($30) for AARP, AAA, etc but ID must be shown. Hudson's has the best seafood on the island but go early or wait 40 minutes.
we liked it

After reading the mixed reviews from several travel websites, I knew that my expectations should not be high. So I was pleasantly surprised by the hotel. The front desk is central to everything and right down the hall from the dining room. It had two computers for internet usage which was free. The dining room had an average buffet for breakfast, and was reasonable at 10.00 a person. The rooms while not spacious, were nice, clean and all the appliances worked. We appreciated the fridge and the hair dryer. The room was clean and had plenty of outlets to plug in phone chargers and whatnot. The common areas could use some cleaning work. We checked in on Thursday night and saw some sandy foot prints in the hall by the door leading to the beach, they were still there on Sunday. It could use some updating but it was perfectly fine for us. The best feature by far was the location- literally right on the beach. There are a few shops nearby that you can rents bikes at pretty reasonably and ride on the beach and some forest paths (that was our favorite experience) I would stay there again, the staff was friendly and the view was gorgeous. But don't take a taxi anywhere they are expensive, the car rental was cheap and right outside the door at Savannah airport fast and easy even at 11pm at night. The tourist outdoor shops were right next door which made buying everything from groceries at piggly wiggly to tee shirts and souvenirs really easy esp really good coffee first thing in the morning.
Great hotel/location

Have stayed at this hotel many times. The room is quite large and comfortable - top notch. Very few rooms have what I would consider an ocean view - most are of the parking lot or courtyard - with the ocean difficult to see through the trees - technically a view, but not what one is looking for.
We ate at the hotel's restaurant for dinner. It was excellent, but very expensive - fortunately, we were not paying. Alexander's is good and nearby as well as the Sea Grass Grill and Crabby Charlies.
Both my husband and I had a massage and they were top notch.
One drawback is that the wireless when I was there was almost non-existent (was able to download e-mail maybe 5% of the time and forget surfing). Most of the other attendees at the conference had the same problem. They don't charge for wireless (or didn't at the time) which is unusual for Hilton, but there probably was a reason why.
The fitness facility is excellent - very clean and several of the cardio equipment had individual t.v.s.
Loved the Location

This hotel has a great location with great proximity to the beach. The staff is friendly and the food is great. The food is pricy, but it's worth it if you don't want to travel anywhere.
The room (regular) was also quite large and comfortable. I do recommend bringing your own coffee and filters if you like coffee as much as I do. The packages they provide are gross.

I'm rather young and still didnt mind the laid back/family enviroment of the Hitlon.
Rooms were nice, and the maids did a great job of cleaning them daily. Our oceanview room overlooking the parking lot but still had a view of the ocean.
Hotel staff was nice/ Bell Staff very nice men.
Very expensive to eat/drink and hotel...VERY...but thats Hilton Head for you I have came to learn.
The hotel courtyard though is breathtaking...beautiful and well takin care of. Not saying I wouldnt go back but I would try a different hotel just to see something else.
