Train too close
Pros:

Stayed here two nights before our cruise. It is within walking distance of several restaurants, grocery store, liquor store, etc. The service desk representatives were not very friendly or welcoming. They put a sign up that reads they are helping a guest when they are really next door talking to the Hilton Garden Inn front desk persons (the two hotels are joined together). One of the three persons were friendly-the other two could have cared less and would not look you in the face when talking.
The room was big enough. The tv worked half the time and then froze the other half. You would need to “reset” the tv from the back every so often when it froze.
There is railroad tracks right beside the hotel so if you don’t bring a loud fan, you will be woken up several times during the night.
We would not stay here again.

Awesome!
Pros:

We had an awesome experience at Homewood Suites in Southbank. Artaeshia, at the front desk, is an absolute angel! She made check in a breeze and absolutely made my Son’s birthday trip a success. The room was amazing and was plenty of space for our family of 5. We have always loved this property and its proximity to San Marco. Artaeshia is the kind of person that will keep us coming back and made it such a personable and lovely visit.

Pros:

The staff was nice and helpful. The location was fine. The room was spacious with all the necessities.

Cons:

For the price the hotel needs to be better kept. They was a swatch of pant on the wall in the hall. The shower wasn't cleaned entirely. And the bed covers, linens not to what I would think was Hilton's standards

Great location
Pros:

This hotel is in the perfect location to explore the historic town of San Marco on foot. It was not too busy, but there were enough people around so that I never felt unsafe in walking alone. There are so many restaurants, boutiques and historic sites to explore! San Marco has both high-end restaurants and interesting consignment stores so it fits every budget. Rusted: A Vintage Market had some very interesting treasures.
The amenities at the hotel are nice with a decent breakfast each morning and snacks on Wednesday evening. Since this is located at a horseshoe bend in the river, the views are great.

A Positive Stay
Pros:

I appreciate the entire staff here, namely Mrs. Artarshia!! She helped make a hopeless situation go by a lot more smoothly. Each time I have had any concerns I know that I could go to her for assistance. Mrs. Artarshia is very good at what she does and is the funniest person you’ll ever meet. I’ll always appreciate the times she had me rolling and positive advice and vibes that she’s given. She’s a beam of sunshine.

Location was nice, but not worth the price.
Pros:

Great location for convenience, but you could hear every car that went by. Didn’t bother me all that much, but train tracks are nearby so we could hear that as well.

Cons:

Upon arriving no one was at the front desk. Someone eventually showed up and asked if we have been helped. When stating that we haven’t, instead of helping us, a staff member (who seemed rather annoyed) got on the phone and called whoever is supposed to be at the front desk to come back to check us in. Check in process was not informative at all (was not told where anything in the hotel was located). I also was not made aware that parking in the parking garage was not included in the hotel price ($21.50 extra per day, which came out of the $214.50 deposit paid when checking in). I received two room key cards, but only one of them actually worked. The room looked clean upon entry and first glance. However, once we got settled in we realized there were dishes still in the dishwasher, bathroom door had splatter on it, lots of hair on the carpet.

very disappointing
Pros:

Evening check in staff was lovely, made apologies for the last minute notification that there was no breakfast service.

Cons:

Breakfast was not provided. It was Christmas morning with no alternatives available. The lady at the front desk was unapproachable and then disappeared, not to be seen again. Kitchen facilities in the room had no electric at all. No coffee maker and the disposal in the sink was inoperative. Very slow drainage.
