Hotel? More like MOTEL
To start off, this is not a four-star hotel. I would consider this a motel as I have stayed in many hotels. Don’t let the Hilton name fool you, this is just a run of the mill Motel that is maybe 2.5 stars. I will break it down with some pros and cons and let you decide if this place is right for you.
Cons: When I first arrived at the hotel, I was informed there would be a $100 a night charge for incidentals. On Expedia, there was only a mention of a $200 deposit. When I told the lady who was working at the front desk this, she laughed at me and said, “I don’t know where you heard that.” It added up to a $700 hold on my credit card for the entirety of my trip. Also, the park right outside the door is full of homeless people. It gets sketchy at night. In addition, it was a very noisy hotel, probably the noisiest hotel I’ve ever been in. Our room was located right above the valet parking and the hotel lobby. All night long we heard doors slamming, car alarms going off, and the trash truck picking up at 5:30 AM on Tuesday mornings. Be prepared, it was extremely loud! Also, a speaker that was positioned right by our balcony was playing music throughout the day and evening. Finally, they advertise giving free beach rentals (chairs, umbrellas, etc). Get ready for a long walk! These are not given at the hotel but at a shop located between a 20-30 minute walk from the hotel.
Pros: Fort DeRussy beach and park were within a 10 minute walk.
