This was my first time staying at this hotel. On the first day, the bathtub was clogged, but the staff acted quickly and switched us to a different room right away. Other than that, everything was great. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, always checking in to see if we needed anything. The beach, restaurant, and shops were all very close by, which made everything super convenient. I’ll definitely be coming back in the future. Thank you! 😊

I choose only chain hotels based on reputation. I am shocked that Hilton has their name on this. The staff was great, but this is NOT a Hilton. Also, the amenities were deceitful. There is no restaurant on site, it’s next door and there is no tiki bar, just a crummy pool bar barely stocked. Also, it is not walking distance to the beach unless you want to walk on a busy highway. Further there was no trolley stop here nor was there a free beach shuttle without calling and waiting. Their description made it sound like a trolley was waiting ready to take you. This was not the case. Again, deceitful in their description. We were super disappointed with the entire situation.

Lovely

It was a very nice hotel set near to the beach with nearby shopping facilities. It was quiet and the grounds especially around the pool reminds me of the island with the lush plants and almost tranquil scenery. You could not hear your neighbor in the next room, which is just a blessing. The day and night staff were excellent in dealing with guests and the caretaker of the breakfast and cafeteria area was very patient, accommodating and helpful.

The hotel is good is clean and organized, they need to improved in some things around like more food options at breakfast not only bagels and maybe Offer something for dinning option. Another thing I don’t like was the block they did on my card for if a buy something for the little market they have, if you don’t want to buy something from them they don’t need to do that blocked

Siesta key beach stay

Wasn’t the experience or level of hotel I accepted from Hilton. This was an old best western and definitely a motel not hotel. Bed was fine, service was great but not synonymous with the Hilton appeal.

Clean room and convenient location. The staff was friendly and breakfast was included. The breakfast was so, so. I wish they would offer hot scramble eggs instead of cold hard boiled eggs, but I guess you can't have it all. The location was very close to Siesta Key beach and close to a Publix. Overall, I recommend this hotel.
