This is a beautiful property and staff was extremely friendly and provided top notch service. A few things that prevented me from giving it a full five stars: we got a room with a king bed and bunk bed, it was great with kids but the bunk bed comforters weren’t made when we got there, there was just a folder interior comforter and a folder top sheet sitting on the beds. So after a long day of traveling, I had to lay out the sheets on the king bed and try to fit the comforters in the top sheets . Not a huge deal but for the amount of money, I really don’t want to have to make beds. Also- they didn’t really fit together so it was a bit awkward. The second thing that prevented me from giving a five star review was the layout of the hotel. Obviously it was built that was for maximum privacy and quiet in the rooms but you have to walk from the parking garage, up the elevator, outside, through the lobby, outside again, past the pool and a few shops and then into the area with rooms. Our room was the very last room which meant that whole trek (with kids and a stroller and luggage) plus past EVERY single room. We forgot something in the car and I literally didn’t have the energy to go back. All in all- a beautiful property that we would definitely stay at again, but I would request a closer room and I would probably pay the $22 for valet to make the walk easier!

Hotel lobby was very pretty and clean. Hall carpet was dirty and stained. I know that is a high traffic area but it’s time to replace it. Mattresses were terrible. They were sagging on one side and felt like you would roll in the floor. I switched sides and the same thing. Staff was very friendly and prompt. Hotel in on a major highway and the traffic noise was horrible. We couldn’t get a gulf front room with balcony so I opted for a balcony room facing Lake Shelby. Don’t! Ok view but road noise made it miserable! Rather than face a second sleepless night we drove 6 hours home instead!

Mother Nature is the only allure of this property. Funky room smell, dirty carpets, I cleaned up more of my bar table than the staff and an overall lack of concern when these items were pointed out means I won’t stay here again. The area itself is great!

The private and beautiful beach is the standout feature of this location. The hotel could use some TLC (paint and a deep clean more regularly) and improved cleanliness but also, in their defense, I think it would be hard to keep up with the families that come here and that seem allow their kids to do whatever they please (walk in covered in sand, dripping wet, spilling colorful drinks, etc.). The environment (beach, bayou, park) is WONDERFUL and therefore location cannot be beat. Perhaps, we expect an antiquated perception of a nicer experience at a Hilton property, but we were disappointed in the bar drinks, and customer service from check-in. We were given a different room than we paid for, but decided not to bring it up just because we got the impression the check-in staff would not be willing to help. Pillows were very uncomfortable. Bed was comfortable. View was PERFECT! So, it is a mixed bag. If you want good views, a private beach, a pool option, a hotel instead of VRBO or rental condo, this is the best option in the area. Many of the condos have similar cleanliness issues as this Hilton due to the number of families that rent the condos out. I just hope Hilton sinks some money into staff training, a facelift, and regular deep cleaning to improve the overall experience.
