Hilton St. Petersburg Bayfront 333 1st Street Southeast, St. Petersburg, FL 33701

"Hotel is in a great location. The structure is very dated (especially the bathrooms) but the rooms have been cosmetically updated. We were charged after check out for the in room waters that we never touched. Felt like a scam to nickel and dime guests."

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We stayed in a king suite which was quite spacious for our family of three. We had the continental breakfasts which consisted of fresh fruit, salmon, cheeses, great oatmeal and a variety of pastries. The service in the dining room was outstanding. Kim, Andrew and Mary made my autistic son not only made him feel welcome, but brought him warm cinnamon rolls that weren’t even on the menu after they heard him mention that this was his favorite pastry. They even took the time to make sure they were fresh and warm. We will most definitely come back to this hotel. It not only had great accommodations, but was thoroughly enjoyable experience"

"Attitudes from the staff, $45 a day to park in their garage. As a Diamond member, I will not be back to this location. Then they tried to corner me with a time share sales pitch. Seriously? I would like to add a follow up. I was told by a manager that we would be compensated with 20,000 points and we never were. Also, I was not recognized and thanked for being a Diamond Member upon arrival. I would like to be contacted by a member of management."

"The hotel is conveniently located downtown and you can easily mill around. We walked to the pier for lunch waterside. We walked to bars and restaurants safely. The hotel is very beautiful and clean. The rooms were cozy and the bed very comfortable. The Orange hotel bar is tiny but the bartender was great!"

"We blocked rooms at this hotel for our wedding guests, and overall, the experience was great! Rachel, the events coordinator, was so kind and accommodating from the moment we started working with her. The front desk staff that I interacted with were also very polite and patient (I wish I had caught their names)! The valet staff were professional and attentive. They fetched cars within a reasonable amount of time, taking into account how busy the hotel was that weekend. Valet cost was provided clearly ahead of time on the hotel website, so there should have been no surprises for guests on arrival. Despite other negative reviews about the elevators, we had no issues with them being slow. (Sometimes I wonder if people just like to complain . . . it is a 15-story building so gauge your expectations accordingly!) I stayed in one of the suites, which we also used for bridal party hair and makeup. The hotel left us champagne in our room - so nice! Our room was spacious with a great view of the bay in the distance, and the king bed was really comfortable. The bathroom was clean and had everything we needed. (My one suggestion for the hotel would be to install some towel rods near the sink for hanging up hand towels and washcloths). The building itself is older, but has been updated--the lobby/main floor is beautiful and has tons of space and seating, which allowed our wedding guests to easily hang out together during the day. We picked this hotel because the location was perfect and it had a pool. We also liked the price compared to other hotels in the area! I definitely would recommend this hotel if you are planning to block rooms for your wedding, or if you are just planning a trip to St. Pete!"
