“Pretty good Hilton”

Hilton - University of Florida & Conference Center

Mar 20, 2008

I stayed here as part of a road trip because it was pet friendly and I am a Gold member (never recognized as such).
The lobby is nice, clean and pleasant.
The room was OK-- I have noticed that HIltons in general do not have great attention to detail in their rooms. However, the bed was super comfy and the hotel was quiet. The TV is ready for replacement.
The bathroom definitely is ready for a remodel- old fixtures, weak water pressure, dirty grout on the floors.
I think the carpet had just been cleaned because there was a strong chemical smell in the room and the carpet was slightly damp. There was no way to open the window.
Room service was prompt and pleasant. The food was OK.
When I arrived, the front desk was terribly disorganized, taking forever to check people in, and actually acted disappointed that I had a pet, and then caused the people behind me to wait while she rummaged around the mess at her area to find a pet form.
I would probably stay here again though as it had a comfortable bed with quiet rooms.

“Little dated and needs free internet”

Hilton - University of Florida & Conference Center

3 of 5 stars
Tallahassee, Florida
Jan 9, 2008

Stayed here on business and having not stayed here for a couple of years, I was surprised at how it's fallen. Rooms are a little dated, and not quite as clean as they once were, service is iffy. The whole hotel needs a little bit of work.

Breakfast was basically the buffet or a guy bringing you something from the buffet and saying it was from the menu.

Overall, I don't think it's worth it unless you're going to something on site.

We were traveling for business at the university and found the hotel to be a nice play to stay. The room was very comfortable and the service was great. The business center was excellent. I would stay here again if in the area.

“Disappointed”

Hilton - University of Florida & Conference Center

2 of 5 stars
Washington, DC
Nov 13, 2007

I've definately stayed in better Hiltons. There's a cheap feel to the bathroom, and only coffee is complimentary.

I kept finding hairs around the room- in the bathroom, bedroom, and even on my bed. There was also leftover tabs/ post-its from previous occupants left around the room.

The hotel restaraunt is nothing special either. And, as usual, overpriced.
