Went there for FABA 2011. Blown away by the beach; very clean and surprisingly uncrowded. Unfortunately I was busy with the convention and it was raining, so I missed out on one of the only good things I have to say about my stay. I checked into two different rooms during my three-day stay and both of them had non functioning air conditioners and smelled rancid upon entrance. Neither room had basic amenities I consider standard fare for hotels in 2011 - no mini bar, no free hi-speed Internet, etc. The alarm clock provided in the room was a whole 30 minutes off-time and the prices of peripheral services are outrageous (near $20 per day for valet, nearly $6 for a beer, etc). The bathrooms were covered in noticeable grime and the bathtubs were DANGEROUSLY slippery.

Positives: The beach front was awesome.

Negatives: Both rooms smelled bad, neither rooms had functioning A/C, showers slippery and grimy, general filth.

This was great! The staff was wonderful, (they upgraded me to a beach view room for no charge), the service by the pool was pretty good, (they'll serve your drinks while your in the pool), and the location was excellent.

Positives: The location was awesome. Within walking distance to many restaurants, bars, and beach shops.

Negatives: Rooms a little outdated, yet were still clean.

Very nice hotel, but not great to be charged 8.00 per motorcycle and then parked 4 to a spot. Not easy to get in and out of garage, one or other parking pass didn't work and had to wait for someone to let us out.

Positives: The view from the room.

Negatives: Being charged 8.00 per motorcycle to park and then told to park 4 to a spot. Unable to get in and out of the garage.

Great location, clean, friendly, comfortable, spacious, and ocean front.

Positives: I liked that it had ocean front rooms, cleanliness and comfort.

Negatives: I did not like that you had to pay for parking and it was expensive.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sun 21 Aug 2011 rated 8 out of 10.

Hotel was very nice and we would stay again, but do not like to the paying to park.

Will be likely to stay here again.

Negatives: Nothing

The hotel is really good but has a huge problem with parking -- cars are lined up to check in and with check in lines at the check in counter -- once your checked in things are great.

Positives: The Hyde Park Rest was great with great late night snacks and pricing

Negatives: The lines to check in were the longest in my 35 years of traveling

Reviewer: Not provided on Sat 16 Jul 2011 rated 3 out of 10.

Beautiful lobby and pool area<BR/> rooms weren't up to par with the rest of building made you believe the room would be as nice as the lobby big surprise we were only there two nights big disappointment for a Hilton.

Positives: Location, and fireworks viewing.

Negatives: Was told there was no charge for off site parking across street from hotel in a lot behind barbeque joint no less.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sun 10 Jul 2011 rated 5 out of 10.

Hotel is o.k., it just shouldnt be listed anything more than 3 stars.

Positives: The lobby.

Negatives: The rooms were sub standard.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sun 10 Jul 2011 rated 8 out of 10.

Overall, I was well pleased with our stay. I would definitely return to this hotel, but would like a refrigerator and better options for parking (valet-17.00, self-parking-10.00 per night...come on, really?)

Positives: Location was wonderful.

Negatives: Parking and check-in (luggage drop off) was terrible.

Reviewer: Not provided on Tue 14 Jun 2011 rated 8 out of 10.

I stayed at this hotel with a friend and boyfriend for a night. Despite requesting two beds, they gave us a king. The room was nice, and clean, but had old CRT TV's, no fridge or microwave. Long walk to your room was a pain after a long day at the beach and the parking ($10 for an unsecured parking lot that was a block and a half away) was hideous.

Positives: I liked the facilities -- the exercise room, pools, and location were great.

Negatives: Parking is hideous! Large hotel with long walk to rooms.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sun 12 Jun 2011 rated 9 out of 10.

Nice beach front hotel in a great location. You have to pay extra for breakfast, parking, microwave and a fridge.

Positives: Location was great.

Negatives: Had to pay extra for breakfast, parking, microwave and a fridge.

Reviewer: Not provided on Tue 07 Jun 2011 rated 6 out of 10.

Not what was expected for a four star hotel. I have stayed at way better three star hotels. The restaurants were way too expensive. Had to pay extra to have a mini fridge added to room. 10 dollars a day, the a 17 dollar a day parking fee. The pools were over crowded. If you stay my advice is to visit the pool on the fifth floor in the north tower. It is not as crowded, but you have no bar or anywhere to buy drinks from.

Positives: The friendly staff.

Negatives: It was to large, over crowded pool, rooms looked old, bathrooms old, beds uncomfortable.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sun 29 May 2011 rated 7 out of 10.

Hotel was not busy and could have been given a better location. Due to this I will not personally book a stay here again. In addition there is no balcony with chairs to sit and enjoy the &quot;ocean view&quot;.

Positives: Location!

Negatives: Room was old and dated. View overlooked the hotel pool roof. Bathrooms are small.

Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 26 May 2011 rated 9 out of 10.

Hilton is an excellent hotel and I was very satisfied with the accommodations. I highly recommend it to other travelers.

Positives: Staff was very helpful.

Negatives: Parking facility. $10.00 a day was somewhat unreasonable. Hotel guests staying 2+ days should be afforded free parking as a perk.

Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 23 May 2011 rated 8 out of 10.

Enjoyed my stay. View of the Ocean and Location are the highlight of this hotel. It could use sprucing up of the guest rooms. They show wear from excessive use.

Positives: Location is Fantastic. On the Beach. Had a room with an Ocean View.

Negatives: The rooms have been beat up a bit from Spring Breakers and excessive use. For a four star accommodation they should be upgraded and renovated.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sun 15 May 2011 rated 5 out of 10.

If you want to be on the beach with a moderate hotel, this will do. Next door is much better and less expensive. The car parking fee was $22.95 a day.

Positives: It was on the beach and connected to the Boardwalk.

Negatives: There was a problem with the first room, and we had to be moved. They forgot to move some of our things. The parking fee was $22.95 per night.

Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 23 Dec 2010 rated 6 out of 10.

The staff was friendly and helpful. We were able to upgrade our room to an ocean view with an extra charge. However, there was an amusement ride right outside of our room that was obstructing our view and we could hear screams of the people riding it till late at night. There is an extra fee for parking which the lot is offsite, but right across the street. The rooms were nice but nothing special. The beds were comfortable. My boyfriend and I were visiting for a wedding right before Christmas and they had carolers in the lobby. We ate once at the restaurant in the hotel which I felt was way overpriced for the food that they served. Overall, it served its purpose for the weekend.

Positives: Our room had an ocean view.

Negatives: There was an amusement ride right outside of our window that ran till 10 PM.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sun 19 Dec 2010 rated 7 out of 10.

Nice hotel. But they stick you in the &quot;cheap&quot; rooms. Hard beds, old TV's, no water pressure. One day we didn't even have hot water.

Positives: Location is great.

Negatives: Rooms need updating.

Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 13 Dec 2010 rated 8 out of 10.

Great location. Lobby and fitness center was nice.

Positives: Location on the beach was great! Very nice area.

Negatives: The room TV was an older model. No hair dryer in room, and the housekeeper did not adequately clean my room.

Reviewer: Not provided on Fri 19 Nov 2010 rated 7 out of 10.

We were given an old room. Although we were given the option to upgrade, that would negate our lower price. Hotel staff was attentive and helpful.

Positives: Location on the beach.

Negatives: Additional costs for amenities.

Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 11 Nov 2010 rated 8 out of 10.

This is a magnificent, fantasy land style hotel. It delivers, big time. Its on the beach, literally, just what you would imagine and hope for when staying on Daytona beach in Florida. Swimming in the beautiful warm ocean in the morning. We were locked out of our room, and we asked a cleaning lady to help. she said she would get someone, but then didn't come through.

Positives: Its on the damn beach.

Negatives: Some shaky service issues.

Reviewer: Not provided on Tue 09 Nov 2010 rated 8 out of 10.

No complaints at all except for the parking fees.

Positives: Clean and comfortable.

Negatives: Self parking off the site for a fee, valet on site for a larger fee .

Reviewer: Not provided on Sun 31 Oct 2010 rated 7 out of 10.

Poor parking, good location, not for handicapped person.

Positives: Near the beach.

Negatives: None available handicap room.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sat 30 Oct 2010 rated 8 out of 10.

Beautiful view of ocean, clean, modern, comfortable room. Top floor was quiet and relaxing. Enjoyed exploring the hotel and dining at different restaurants.

Positives: Great location, excellent food. Our favorite was the Hyde Park Steak House.

Negatives: On more than one occasion it took an uncomfortable amount of time to be recognized by server at hotel restaurants.

Reviewer: Not provided on Fri 29 Oct 2010 rated 8 out of 10.

Check in was easy. Even through the hotel was practically empty they still charged us $ to upgrade to an ocean view room. There was also a $10 per day charge to park. Parking lot was 2 blocks away. Internet access was another $ per day fee. Room was clean, staff was friendly. Hotel is very nice.

Positives: Nice hotel, great location.

Negatives: Charge to park and for Internet.

Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 25 Oct 2010 rated 8 out of 10.

They &quot;upgraded&quot; our room from the 3rd floor pool view to 8th floor pool view. So we had a pool,beach,carnival,street view. The hotel was supposed to have 7 restaurants, only 2 (a casual bar) &amp; thankfully, a great Hyde Park rest. Not a neighborhood to walk around at night. We valeted parked ($15+tax) and we had to walk from the south tower to the north tower with luggage to get our car. What's the point of valet parking?

Positives: The property facing the beach was lovely and great for walking.

Negatives: The room was small &amp; old. Nothing 4-star!

Reviewer: Not provided on Fri 22 Oct 2010 rated 10 out of 10.

On the Redneck Riviera with motorcycles blasting noise up and down the road. Bikers abound in leather and tattoos.

Positives: Desk staff very friendly and helpful.

Negatives: The rednecks in Daytona Beach are scary.

This is a great hotel with over 700 rooms. We had an ocean view and a very nice view, thanks to Priceline. All hotel employees were pleasant and helpful, the food was fabulous. We had a great time at the Daytona Beach Hilton.

Positives: Lovely facility right on the beach.

Negatives: Self-parking is not easily accessible.

Reviewer: Not provided on Fri 24 Sep 2010 rated 10 out of 10.

Positives: Location, design of the hotel, size of room.

Negatives: Parking fees.

Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 16 Sep 2010 rated 10 out of 10.

When we arrived, there was a little confusion upon checking in. The manager at the desk upgraded us to fabulous ocean front adjoining rooms! Please give him our best! We had a blast!

Positives: Location, luxurious, clean, &amp; spacious.

Negatives: Nothing! Loved it.

Positives: Location right on beach.

Negatives: Room was long walk from front lobby.
