If you want a place near to Tropicana Field, and/or the nightlife of downtown St Pete this is the place. It is clean, excellent staff, and was quiet for our two night weekend stay. I would say it's up to Hilton standards. However, the room was fairly small (by many standards) and the shower floor was slippery when wet with one grab bar --- certainly dangerous for older folks. The cost of (necessary) valet parking is high ($40 per day) --- but the valet staff is at your service 12/7.
