Excellent location for a UF stay

Excellent location, comfortable beds and a great fitness center with a pool. The hot tub was out of order. A property of this caliber should not have such significant stains in the carpet in the room.

Very disappointed with this stay. When I booked online i specifically asked for 2 rooms with one room with 2 queen beds and we were given rooms with only one bed. A roll away was unexceptable as the point of booking online is to get what you book for due to the people in your party that are traveling with you. No other rooms were available to move to.

It has a very nice, airy, grand reception area. Parking is plenty. The only thing negative is the condition of the bathroom. It needs to be detailed. There are a lot of smudges on the walls and rust on the tub and sink. The sink drains very very slowly.

This Hilton rocks!

I have stayed at this Hilton a number of times over the years. One time I booked less expensive, but changed last minute as I feel safe at this Hilton. Then on this stay, they noticed my door was open and no personal belingings were in the room after I had checked in. (I had never gone up.) They called me to assure I was OK and not in trouble. Housekeeper left it open. I was impressed by their caring and vigilence for guest safety.
