Would not recommend it to anybody.
Cons:

This is a very average motel, not a hotel with a ridiculously high price. The breakfast was terrible.

Cons:

It has moldy smell carpet and the rooms is less than a motel 6. We were deceived with the Hilton brand, but it is not. Very mediocre breakfast too.

It worked but I wouldn’t stay again
Pros:

Location to Hwy 41 and surrounding shopping/restsurants

Cons:

It’s a motel with every room going to the outside, unlike a hotel with every room going to the inside hallway. I didn’t feel very safe as our room went straight out to the parking lot. The free breakfast consisted of: coffee, juice, cold cereal and bagels. Very disappointing.

Ok hotel worth a night or two for sure
Pros:

Return visit needed a last minute hotel and this is my go to hotel in Siesta Key. Although it’s a Hilton brand and is a decent hotel it’s not Hilton quality. It’s a clean, safe, comfortable hotel in a good location but it’s not a high end hotel just an average Holiday Inn type. I like it here for an overnight or two night stay but no more. The bed is ok and rooms aren’t too bad. Comfortable bed but not luxury that Hilton is known for. The hot tub is closed with caution tape. The breakfast is meager. Cereal and bagels but it works for a no frills guy like me.
I’d come back and think what I paid is def worth it.
