Upon arrival we were greeting with a very warm welcome at the front desk. Hotel was extremely clean, quiet and the bed and pillows were comfortable. There are a few food options in walking distance and also a Publix right across the street. They also had a managers appreciation little dinner for all guest, it was really nice. I would definitely stay here again.

Rating: ★★☆☆☆ (2/5) I’ve always chosen Hilton for reliability and comfort, but this stay was a major disappointment. Upon entering my room, I discovered a roach, which understandably made me very uncomfortable. I had to request a room transfer. In addition, I originally booked a two-queen bed room but asked if I could switch to a one-bed room. I was told there were none available, only to hear staff offering a one-bed room to another guest moments later. When I asked about it, I was told it was because I had booked through a third party—this felt unfair and dismissive. To add to the frustration, the coffee station offered cold coffee, which I had to throw out. The one positive part of my stay was the overnight staff member—she was extremely kind, helpful, and genuinely made an effort to greet guests by name. Her hospitality stood out and was greatly appreciated. Unfortunately, the overall experience did not meet the standards I expect from Hilton.

Normally, I would not give any hotel all 5 stars in every category. However, this hotel deserves more than 5 stars. If i could give this hotel 9 stars i would. The staff was amazing with EXCELLENT customer services. Mrs. Jackie (breakfast cleaning lady I believe that was her name) she was so sweet and funny. The breakfast was amazing and good.

Breakfast was great, rooms clean and everything was really nice, only problem we had was they had 3 elevators and only 1 worked. Having 7 floors meant it took such a long time to get to room or to leave. But other then that was a great place
