Unbelievably rude staff! The GM is an embarrassment to the Hilton chain. The hotel is filthy and full of squatters. Couldn’t be a worse place to stay.

The location is very convenient to USF. We stayed here because the property was listed as pet friendly. After check in, I was informed they would be charging me an additional $75 to have my pet with me. I would have been OK with this if 1- I had known about this ahead of time and 2- I did not spend the entire time we were there picking up small debris from the perimeter of the room and under the bed (rotten apple) to keep out of my dog's mouth. There isn't a very nice area where you can walk your dog to do their business ( basically the side of the road) The staff was friendly and the breakfast was decent. Overall, for how much we paid, I would have expected nicer grounds and I learned per "friendly" really means pets "tolerated"

This hotel was not worth the cost. The “breakfast” was limited and not as advertised, parking is an additional cost, and the shower had very little pressure. For $300 a night, I expected much better.
