Old and Dirty…Not Worth the Money
Not great. The hotel is very clearly older with various sign of aging throughout (e.g carpet, wall stains, door does not close without effort, old furniture). They did not provide soap for the shower and when we asked we were told it would be provided but it never arrived. The shower was also covered in beach sand and various types of hair when we arrived. Throughout the night our toilet would flush on its own when guests from higher floors would flush as the pipes are connected. We asked for a room swap the morning of our second day. They declined and instead offered us a $100 credit for the restaurant which did not help with our room concerns. We ended up leaving very early on our checkout day so we can shower at home. About $1K for a 2 night stay was an egregious amount to spend on conditions like this.

This hotel was clean and luxurious. The grounds were gorgeous. We had a ground floor room with a nice patio and enjoyed the ocean view every evening. The restaurant only serves lunch and breakfast but the food was excellent. The pool was clean and heated. We throughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely return.

I was very disappointed with my stay and thought the Hilton name carried a higher standard. -Mattress was very uncomfortable -Non-Oceanside view rooms had a cheap motel feel with the balcony looking directly into the parking lot -Toilet was held together with silicone -Bathroom fan/vent was not working so walls would start sweating after a shower -Room felt stuffy (not sure if allergens from carpets or dusty AC vent) -for the $600 paid per night, the room felt very cheap. You’re better off going with a hotel closer to State St so you don’t have to walk 20-30 min every trip or get ride share.

The location is great and the property is very nice. My only complaint is that every time I use Expedia the room I get is usually the room for disabilities. My last day we specifically booked a room that was not an ended up with the same old, same old. I wish somehow this trend could be eliminated. It really isn’t fair that when you book a non-ADA room I always get that very wrong.
