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.

A very nice hotel on a great area. there was a bit of road work across the street and I thought the hotel needs to be upgraded, however the view is fantastic, the pool nice and the beach espectacular. The staff pretty nice too but the wifi not so good, i hope they fix that soon. Was told an upgrade is on the works for early 2026. We would totally return.

The property was great so nice and clean, close to the beach. The breakfast was great, loved that it had food right there on the property. The only thing i didnt like is that the beach chairs were not included for as much as you pay to stay there.

Easy access to the beach. Wish they had a outside dog area since they’re dog friendly. Dogs are only allowed in the room if they’re not service dogs! The pool area needs more lights since they closed at 10 and it’s very dark. Needs better buffet options. The only options were eggs, bacon, potatoes and sausage for both days. At least have a waffle machine! Restroom exhaust fan not working. It got so humid after showers!

The pool and location to the beach were excellent. The staff was nice. Shoutout to the staff member keeping the lobby floors clean. The rooms looked cheap and replacements need to be made to the sun shades (they were scuffed and stained). The lobby was clean, but there was food left over from a table that wasn’t cleaned up. The food made the entire lobby smell rotten. The food from the restaurant was nasty.The food was overpriced. Don’t order the pizza.

We Won’t stay again. No cell service at all in our room. Uncalled for. We chose this hotel because it was near the condos where our daughter and family were staying, and we had stayed a few years back and it was very clean and well maintained at that time. In those few years, we were disappointed to see it had not been well maintained. Poor lighting in room, not vacuuming our 3rd floor halls (a fry on the hallway floor Sunday we noticed was still there when we left Wednesday), lots of dogs on our floor, two old rusty light fixtures in bathroom that didn’t work, two rusty lamps in bedroom, cream sofas in main entry way with heavy brown dirt stains, smelled marijuana heavily at numerous times on our floor and lobby area. Beds were clean and comfortable and bathroom was clean, so that helped, and we had a nice gulf and pool view. We planned to eat there but when I had asked to be placed on a non pet floor due to severe allergies, and was given an answer that favored pets more than people, we were afraid to eat there. The pool area maintenance was poor on Sunday but seemed to get better Tuesday and Wednesday. Disappointed in Hilton and Expedia for rating this property a 9.2 because I definitely go by reviews. There is no way. More like 6.5.
