We love Hilton Garden Inn and have been there maybe six times? We love the pool area and the view. We had a problem with our microwave and it was changed out in about fifteen minutes. For us, it is just a lovely, relaxing place to be.

This is a nice property for the price. The beach we did not go on but the sand looked very nice.. white and fine. We had great food at the tiki bar and the pool was very enjoyable. The staff at the front desk was also very good. We were in a car accident earlier in the day where someone rear-ended us and the desk attendant I wish I had gotten her name (younger African-American woman) gave us a couple of free vouchers for some cocktails. Very nice and caring gesture!! The location is good with lots of bars and restaurants around. I will say the traffic was horrendous but we may have been there on a busy weekend with a lot going on. The air conditioning worked excellent in the room and everything was clean. I would stay here again if the price was right. Thank you to all!!

The view of the Gulf is excellent. If you are hoping to hear the waves you may want to stay somewhere else. The waterfall from the lazy river drowns out the waves. Otherwise hood view and location.

Our shower and sink backed up. Maintenance came in with a plunger but no one cleaned up after. The only available room if we wanted to move was overlooking the parking which was facing road construction. We had to go get cleaning supplies and deal with it for the remainder of our stay. Staff was friendly but states they couldn’t do anything because I booked through orbitz and not through them.
