The worst Hilton hotel. If you book through hard rock be careful because this hotel won’t let you stay in their premises as complimentary from hard rock. They will say they couldn’t find your reservation. They will make a fake phone call pretending they called hard rock to verify your reservation and kept you on hold for 30 minutes until you gave up and decided to leave the premises. Hard rock doesn’t keep you on hold for 30 minutes. So we called hard rock to verify and we found out that the front desk did not make a call to hard rock to verify my reservation. It was just a fake phone call the concierge made. Stay away from this hotel and don’t waste your time. Workers here are
liars and pretenders.

Solid spot. Every hotel is expensive in the area so for the money this is the best bang for the buck

We elected to stay at this location given the proximity to the Hard Rock (for an event). We were super happy we did. Great location (just off of I75 but in a nice corporate park setting). Quiet! The hotel was very clean and the front desk service was great. Bonus: The water pressure in this hotel is amazing. We ended up taking an uber (to/from) the Hard rock (just a 8 min drive) - super convenient.
