The room was clean; Daily service was good. There was an outdoor deck on our floor that looked nice but we didn’t get to use due to the weather. The breakfast and coffee were nice, and the common space was nice to have. The location was convenient to a number of good restaurants and breweries, and a great bike rental shop on the Pinellas Trail.

The room had no amenities (glasses, coffee pot with essentials, etc.) the registration desk was set up as a game room and snack bar. Our next door neighbor was an angry person yelling only to himself. I contacted our service rep who pronely dealt with him but to no avail, he kept it up. Not because of our irritating neighbor, but because the hotel, for the cost, was incredibly unsatisfactory, I will never stay at a Tru Hilton again!

Hilton should be ashamed to have its name associated with this property. Our room was a disgrace. First, It was dark and dingy, so we raised the window shade, only to discover that our window faced a stucco wall just a few feet away. Worse, the window from a different guest room stared right into our room, compromising our privacy. We were thus forced to keep the shade down which had the practical effect of a windowless room. We asked if we could be moved to a room with a better view and were told “all the rooms are like that”. Second, there was a clump of human hair in the bathtub from a previous guest, which was disgusting. Third, the room was very poorly appointed and lacked even a chair or sofa. The only choice was to sit on the bed or stand. Fifth, there was no real closet and no bureau or chest to put our clothing. The hotel was obviously aware of this design defect and had temerity to post a sticker suggesting to use the hooks in the hallway or store items “under the bed.” Sixth, most of the lighting, which was inadequate to begin with, did not work. Seventh, the décor was obviously budget-level with most surfaces covered in cheap laminate. To add insult to injury, we were charged $450, which is literally a multiple of the rate typically charged for hotel rooms of this caliber. We feel we were misled and were victims of price gouging. We have photographs to document the conditions we have described in this review.This review complies with your criteria

In my haste i booked this due to a last minute business trip. Instant regret! Prior to getting out of my rental car, i was met by a valet attendant who immediately advised of the valet/parking rates. Daily valet, $40 per day. Parking a block away in an unsecure lot, $20. After checking into my smallish room, i went to park at the 2nd option. I didn't feel secure in leaving my rental in this lot or paying an addition fee for valet so i chose an express Holiday Inn a short distance from this hotel.
