Not what I would expect from a Hilton brand. Room was large but had a musty smell, inexpensive 'looking' furnishings. Sparce lobby. Not a place to hang out. We were only there for one night, so it was fine. Longer stay I would have probably not stayed there.

We chose this brand as we had a good experience at another location and it was close to USF . The staff was pleasant and did what they could to address our concerns . What we didn’t like : 1.The first room reeked . Kinda smelled like dirty dog . I applaud that Home2 welcomes our pets but perhaps they should replace rugs with vinyl flooring. I dropped something on the rug and wiped it up . Seriously , not more than a 4in wipe and the cloth was BLACK. We moved to another room the next day . I was initially ok with that room but my husband could still smell dog … I smelled it The next day 2. Gas smell by the pool ( guessed that it was from an industrial dryer ? ) . We were the only ones by the pool so don’t know if anyone else had the same experience . Moved to the patio but the smell kept wafting over and actually gave me a headache . The chair for use by those who are disabled was also less than secure . Looked like zip-ties were being used to prop it up 3. Have seen a lot of comments about the quality of the breakfast . Unfortunately, we didn’t have the same experience .
This is a Hilton brand and I expected better

Room was clean and comfortable, breakfast was great, just note that the hotel is pet friendly and u may have a little yappy chihuahua in the room across from you, BUT hotel staff provide ear buds to suppress the noise :)

Very dirty. For this to be associated with Hilton I’m disappointed. The open common areas are extremely hot. When asked can something be done about the heat staff said no and that she’s cold. Then room 201 I was out into and given ear plugs for the traffic noise outside. This is a complete waste of 200$. I would’ve rather we slept in my cat and paid to take a shower at a truck stop. I wouldn’t even rate 1 star needs 0. Health inspector should do a pop up and higher up’s need to come in in disguise and get the understanding for theirselves.
