Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Disliked: Amenities
Staff was courteous, room was clean. I was disappointed that they did not refill my in room coffee and they tub has rusted areas. My biggest concern was the lack of lighting outside of the building and at the entrance. I had to check in when it was dark outside and I did not feel safe. Also the windows were filthy and I could barely see out of them.

Hilton close to UF campus

Our stay at Hilton was average. The location was great and very close to the UF campus. The service was great. I feel the hotel is older. This is fine but I do feel the hotel needs some updates. Our room was comfortable and enough space but the bathroom needed some work. And I feel the bathroom could have been cleaner. Over all stay was fine.
