Very nice and clean facility, but kind of spendy, but I suppose that's what you have to do to stay across from the beach.

Extremely satisfied and grateful with the Hilton staff. Emily was incredibly kind and made sure we had an unforgettable stay. She made sure our stay was one for the books. That customer service alone was enough to convince us to come back soon!

I enjoyed the hotel very much. The room size was larger than normal and having two sinks was a plus. You need a car if you want to go downtown (state street). Parking at the hotel is pricey
