Tidy one bedroom in a nice location. 5 minute walk to the beach. Less than 5 minute walk to grocery store and to mall, which has a number of nice restaurants like capital grill. A highlight is the view of the canal from the room and of the draw bridge that goes up every 30 minutes to let the yachts through. If you have a youngster he/she will love the bridge and boats.
The place is small but big enough for 2 plus a child to live comfortably. The kitchen is clean and functional. We only ate out for dinner - otherwise used kitchen.
The only complaint is cleanliness of the common hotel spaces. Hilton has let its double tree properties decline over the years and this one is no exception. There was no staff to clean the pool area, staff the outside bar, etc. it wouldn’t take much to pick up the trash, keep the hot tub clean, etc. There’s nothing Dan can do about that, but given that you’re renting a room in 3 star hotel it’s impossible to rate the overall experience 5 stars.
That said this is a great bang for the buck - will cost less than a hotel room on the A1A and the experience will be better - unless you value the hotel pool, spa, restaurant, etc above all else - because you have a small apartment vs a smaller hotel room.
Thanks to Dan for making his space available. We would stay here again.
Overall: recommend.
