So-so St. Pete Hilton
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 12/26/04
The St.Petersberg Hilton is in the midst of a renovation thatunfortunately penalizes the guests that are staying there. On arrival, we received our room keys, TWICE, both times going up to the 7th floor, fiddling around trying to open the door and finally treking back to the beautiful newly renovated lobby. On the third try, accompanied by a security officer and having insisted on a completely different room, we noticed that some of the locks on the doors were shiny new brass, and some were old and worn!The old locks didn'twork. The room itself was run down and tired, although the bathroom amenities were nice (Neutrogena) and the towels were thick and new. Halfway through our stay, they eliminated the mandatory valet parking, but, we had to adjust our bill at checkout to reflect the night we self-parked! The breakfasts were good, diningroom had been renovated and the pool looked very nice.
Just don't stay here until they are done renovating! You'll have a much nicer experience!
