Once on the property, it felt like a remote location. The pool area was very good and distance to beaches was perfect, if driving. Staff was wonderful. Property was clean and the room had good amenities. Breakfast did not suit me. No variety of yogurts or fresh fruits, other than apples and bananas, which they ran out of often.

We had an issue with the shower control valve that would not allow us to shut off the shower water. After notifying the front desk of the issue, we headed out to be with family. When we returned, the shower control valve issue had been resolved. Appreciated the quick response by the staff!!!

Okay stay but won’t return

Well I wouldn’t stay here again. Looked like Hilton had bought an old motel and remodeled it. Doors faced the outside (not sure if that was said in the description). We had a room with 2 queen beds. Room was on the small side which was fine for 2 people but 4 would have been uncomfortable. We didn’t bring our kids. Our first room had damp floors. Sink and bathtub did not drain well. Handle on toilet was very hard to press down. I could handle all that until the flying ants started popping up that night. Then we asked to change rooms. The second room was still damp. Due to Florida humidity is what they told us. Bathtub still clogged up but no bugs so we were good. “Pool” towels were the size of hand towels. Not useful. Breakfast was okay. No hot foods. Just bagels, cereals etc. Positives: staff was very friendly and accommodating. Beds were comfortable. Bartender was nice. Plenty of parking spaces. Very close to Siesta Key. Right near the bridge. Shops and restaurants near by.

Not the typical Hilton stay, but close enough to every thing Siesta Key. Hilton obviously bought an older hotel and upgraded it, but it doesn't give a Hilton vibe (except the pillows). Clean, quiet, has a pool and a pool bar. This is all about location. Restaurants, dining and shopping options all around; this hotel is a left turn and a right turn away from the best beach in Florida.

The reception named Claudia was very rude and disrespectful. She doesn’t even greet the guests. Room very dirty im glad i got my sheets from home. and we didn’t sleep all night from next door people, they were laughing all night. I won’t go there ever again even if it was for free. I forgot to mention it that I payed $500 per two nights 🙄

Pretty much a party hotel. Noisy, outdated. Technically an updated Best Western. Small rooms, bad bathrooms. Beds were comfortable with Hilton mattresses, pillows, and blankets. But everything else was below average.
