The quality of the service was absolutely the highlight of our stay. Robbie, Jenna and Megan (the valet team) took great care of us. The front desk and bell hop employee provided service with a smile all the same. My family is grateful!

Our room was pretty small, with little space to put things down. With the discounted rate i got, it was ok. The people at the front desk and restaurant service was really good. We used the valet overnight parking for two nights. The valet parking crew were prompt and courteous. Madi, Tyler, Jenna and Ian were a great team!

For a memorable stay in St. Petersburg, the Hilton St. Petersburg Bayfront is a top choice! From my arrival, the exceptional hospitality made a difference. Mati at valet greeted me with a warm smile and provided great local dining tips. At check-in, Marissa’s professionalism and friendliness ensured a seamless process, making me feel right at home. Every staff member, from valets to housekeeping, exemplified rare hospitality, going above and beyond to enhance my experience. If you want a hotel where the staff genuinely cares, look no further than the Hilton St. Petersburg Bayfront. A heartfelt thank you to Mati and Marissa for their outstanding service—I can’t wait to return!

The hotel is in a great location, which made getting around very convenient. However, the room itself felt quite outdated, especially the bathroom. The bathroom was very small, and the old shower faucet was difficult to figure out and use. The air conditioning also struggled to keep the room cool enough to be comfortable. Additionally, the carpet did not appear very clean. While the location is a strong point, the room conditions could definitely use some updating and better maintenance

Location is great! Room was clean, and we could walk everywhere we wanted. The bar at the hotel has one of the best bartenders I've met. I bartended for years so I have high standards and she's got it! Wonderful customer service, attentitive, quick and makes a great drink. Danielle was her name, highly recommend checking it out. I'll come back to this bar just to see her even if I'm just visiting for the day. She put the cherry on top on a great stay!

So the view and the vibe of this hotel is incredible. And thats what I was here for. The view from the top floors were incredible. We took 1313 and could see a good view of the skyline. But I feel like the early numbers on that same side wpuld get more bay view. The food prices in the hotel were high, so I didnt go with any of it. But here's some things I learned that will make it easier for you. One, that thermostate is a liar. I had it on 63 degrees and still sweating at night. I did learn the last morning, you can increase the fan too. Too little too late. $45 a night parking? Valet only? Absolutely not. There is a garage directly behind Hilton called Camden, park there. In and out ability and its $15 for 24 hours. Theres a pathway across from a nail shop that makes for a quicker walk to the hotel. 3 min walk. Easy.

A delightful property in a great location, right in the middle of things, but relaxing nonetheless. The room is modern and spacious. Lots of great restaurants within an easy walk. A great view of the storied Al Lang Field, I believe the oldest MLB spring training site, tho it's no longer in use for spring training. My wife and I stayed here after completing the C2C bike ride. The hotel is right at the start of the C2C ride (this section is known as the Pinellas Trail), but we elected to start about 7 miles to the west, mainly due to the availability of free parking in quiet neighborhoods. Parking over 72 hrs in the central downtown area is impossible to find, tho I guess that, had I asked, the Hilton would have been happy to charge me $45/night, their valet rate (self-parking is not available). BTW, we parked in the nearby Sundial parking garage for the night we stayed at the Bayfront Hilton--at half of the Hilton rate! With some reluctance, I must add, that in this era of the disappearing $150/nite hotel room, the Bayfront Hilton isn't a bad deal!

I love this location and the hotel has everything you need. The bar food and drinks are good but pricey. MARISSA at the front desk is so nice and helpful. I’ve stayed here several times. Each time I’ve stayed the rooms have been clean but because the hotel is needing to be updated it can appear untidy. The beds are not memory foam so they aren’t great. The higher floors have great views. All of my stays have been somewhat quiet except for one visit during a music festival in downtown St Pete. Overall, it is a good value.

We stayed for new years, aniversary... the front desk people were super nice. The location was nice, close to everything. The room itself wasn't great... not very clean, had a weird smell like mildew. I have asthma and I couldn't breath the entire night. I just always thought all Hiltons were really nice...I guess not. We did have to pay $48 for parking for one night. Crazy!!

? 1 Star Review Hilton St. Petersburg Bayfront – Dec 22–24, 2025 Our family booked this stay as a special Christmas trip with our 5-month-old son. Instead of hospitality and warmth, we spent two days dealing with cold water, false accusations, and a level of unprofessionalism I would never expect from Hilton. The hot water did not work multiple times. We couldn’t bathe our baby the first night, engineering “fixed” it the next morning, and it failed again that evening and the next day. Hot water isn’t a luxury when traveling with an infant. Then came the worst part. We were accused of smoking in our room and charged a $300 fee even though no one in our family smokes. When we questioned it, the Front Desk Director, Cynthia Dill, doubled down and told us: • “The system is never wrong.” • “It’s your word against the system.” We asked for someone to inspect the room so they could see for themselves, and instead we were told we needed to come downstairs. When we did, Cynthia continued to talk to us while chewing food, in front of our baby and my mother-in-law, on Christmas Eve. No empathy. No apology. Just attitude. Here’s the unbelievable part: We later learned the claim of smoking came from an internal email citing a timestamp of October 14, 2025 between 7:40–9:40 AM… months before we even arrived at the hotel. And even after they removed the charge, we received no apology for the false accusation and stress it caused our family. We were also charged $10 for a water bottle and $12 for ice cream, and a staff member acknowledged the pricing was “ridiculous” and a cash grab. Not a great sign for guest trust. The only bright spots were Krista at check-in and the attendant who brought up the pack-and-play. They actually cared. The rest felt like we were intruding on their day. We chose Hilton for peace of mind and a reliable family experience. Instead, we spent our holiday dealing with cold showers, accusations based on the wrong dates, and a manager implying we were lying. We are already escalating this to Hilton Corporate. No family deserves to be treated like that — especially at Christmas.
