Love this hotel! Pool area is great with pool bar and hot tub in a tropical setting. Clean and comfy rooms. Walkable to Siesta beach (1 mile) and many restaurants. Free shuttle to beach. Have chairs and umbrellas you can borrow. Can rent a beach towel for $5! Continental breakfast. Only drawbacks: The hot tub spa is not working. The breakfast does not offer many choices.

The hotel is very nice. It's near a plaza with shops and small restaurants. The room was very clean and comfortable. The breakfast could have been a little better. I mean, scrambled eggs instead of boiled eggs. Other than that, it was okay.

Had a great experience with my family. Stayed 5 nights. Beds were comfortable. Love the pool area. Could use some cleaning around the edge but still a nice area. It’s nice that breakfast is offered. It’s very basic but something. Coffee is always available in the lobby. Overall, I’d stay there again.

Ice machine and elevator out. Hskp made bed- no towels garbage didn't come until after 3:00 When in shower if anyone in bldg flushed toilet you get scalded in shower. Tv has HBO but doesn't work. TV also freezes. Mgr always too busy to see you. Worst hotel ever stayed in. Surprised it is a Hilton property. Breakfast-out of bananas. Yogurt out of a dispenser. Disgusting Not worth the price if free!!!
