Worse Hilton experience of my life. On second floor. And they have a club downstairs that plays loud music you can sing along to from your room until 4am!!! I called front desk to complain but she didn’t seem to care and they didn’t lower the music like she said she would ask them to do. This is a bad place go stay if you want to actually relax or sleep. I guess it is cool for beach access?
Valet was cool. 5 stars. Hotel. 1 star.

We stay at this hotel for two nights in November (Thursday/Friday). The room was clean. The service was good too. The only issue was at the back of the hotel is a night club which plays loud music until 4am so we only got 2 hours sleep each night. If you stay at the hotel try and get a room on 4th floor at the front of the hotel. Our room was towards the back and on one side of the building. We were on floor 2. Apart from that is was a good place to stay.

Hotel is tired .. rooms need to be updated . My queen room is a 10x10 with not even a chair or a desk to be found. Paint is pealing the in bathroom. I’m a Hilton honors member and paid $200 for the room but honestly it’s not worth $100. Dolce Italian is closed for renovations so there is no restaurant or bar on property. You have access to the Sagamore across the street that has beach access which is acceptable - that’s it. Skip this hotel until it’s renovated or torn down .

The hotel stay was exceptional.
But the parking situation was terrible.
A short woman who claimed to be the manager was very rude to us. The customer service was awful.
A very rude and unpleasant woman made us park on the street.

Stayed for the weekend. The decor was lovely, with vintage photographs on the walls and dark flooring that added old-world charm. The bathroom was beautiful, and the bed was comfortable. The staff were very kind and genuinely tried to help and resolve any issues. Breakfast was a nice touch — good coffee, eggs with potatoes, and a super friendly server. There’s even a partial ocean view from the rooftop deck, and the location is great — an easy walk to everything.
However, this property does not feel like a true 4-star hotel, and it’s unclear why it carries the Curio brand, especially when compared to the Hotel del Coronado. We were disappointed to find that the main restaurant facing Collins Street was under construction — we had been looking forward to relaxing there after our days out. The lounge on the other side was closed as well, and even the front coffee bar wasn’t open. We were not informed about the remodeling when we booked well in advance.
Our room had a spacious patio, but the daybed needed cleaning. My side of the bed had no nightstand, and overall, the room could have used a deep clean. Unfortunately, the value didn’t match the experience.
Thank you anyway, and best of luck to the team.
