The Hilton Garden Inn is the beach-gear hotel — the resort charge buys the umbrella. Three daily credits for beach umbrellas, chairs or a one-hour board come with the Daily Resort Charge, along with morning yoga, and the beach is 0.20 miles away by Hilton's count, with an outdoor pool and the TR Fire Grill on site.
The catch is the same as at the DoubleTree: Hilton lists what the charge includes, not what it costs. Valet is $58, $78 oversize, plus taxes, and there's no self-park.
Eighteenth on 26, because six hotels on the same score print a lower parking rate. It's about 3.5 miles from Pier 2 by road, our estimate.
Use the credits on your last beach afternoon, and ask for the charge in dollars before you book.
Book it if
- Beach people who want the gear included
- Swimmers
- Pet owners
Look elsewhere if
- You want every fee in writing.
- You want breakfast included.
