Uncomfortable Beds & outdated Hotel
The hotel as a whole is a bit outdated, however the staff was extremely nice and helpful. The bathroom & room in itself needs updating & the Beds are extremely uncomfortable, but it was for 1 night, so we needed the hotel to be close to the UF campus for graduation.

Surprised Hilton allows this
Room had Mold and Mildew Smell so strong unable to sleep. Called Front Desk Mngt, etc 3-4x with no response. Finally the second night after demanding to speak with Manager, we were moved to a healthier room as even when the manager entered the room they had difficulty with odor. After relocating us at 10pm to another room we were advised we would have room credited and breakfast due to situation. This hotel didn't make good on either one. I never complaim but this was terrible

There was a straw wrapper on the hall floor that remained for the entire stay. The wall in our room was swollen with water and both the sink and bath drained very slowly. Many menu items were unavailable. Overall a property in decline (we had been there before and it was much better).

The bathroom area really needed cleaning, specially around the baseboards the handrails the shower. The shower curtain was too small and the shower rod should’ve been a curved rod because we were both handicap and it stuck to us constantly and those little squirt bottles that they have hanging on the walls that is totally ridiculous, and it smells horrible shampoo and conditioner and body wash. They could’ve least got something that smelt better. It smell like spoiled milk I had to go out and buy some thank God. I brought some Lysol wipes with me and I wiped the bathroom down. It was filthy not saying that the little girl didn’t clean it and the refrigerator had a big chunk of ice inside frozen in it.

This hotel is a bit dated, but it was convenient and comfortable. It's a traditional Hilton (nothing is included), but the beds are comfy, the room was fairly big, and the hotel has amenities (gym, etc.). Parking is also free.

We like to stay at this hotel because it it near UF. The rooms are a nice size. The staff are friendly and professional. This time we were a little disappointed in the cleanliness of our room. At some point prior to us checking in someone must have killed a roach on the cornice board and it was just left there to be looked at. The silver tray in the bathroom was dirty with hairs. The shower head dripped. The shower curtain was too short and did not close completely. I always bring my own shower products but for this trip I figured I would use the ones provided. However, once I was already in the shower and went to use the shower gel it was empty. More attention needs to be paid for the rooms to be cleaned.
