Guest reviews
What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“Front desk staff were very friendly. The room was a little dated, toilet filled very slow after a flush, no filter in the AC; however, bed was comfy, water was hot immediately, everything was clean upon checkin. The coffee maker was not a K cup but it worked just fine. The restaurant/bar was fantastic, dinner was delicious, bartender Gabriela asked all the right questions to ensure we got the food and drinks we would enjoy, she made sure our drinks remained full. Breakfast featured 3 styles; continental, buffet, and menu. I opted to order from the menu, my partner opted to order the buffet. Both options ended up being absolutely fantastic with the server giving just the right attention to make sure everything was great. Went for a swim in the outdoor pool that is open during daylight hours, it was very leisurely and relaxing. Overall a wonderful experience, the hotel is close to many different event venues as well.”
“I always review Hiltons since I’m an honors member. This stay was very pleasant. Although I immediately slept and left they had a lot to offer. The parking was tight but ample. I believe they have a conference room, buffet dining and more. My room was nice and clean, thank you Sabrina and staff!”
“Stayed here during my UCF orientation. Staff was amazing. Eva was a gem. Food was great. Our room was a wellness room or something that and had an air purifier and a water filter in the shower. Bed was comfy and had hypoallergenic pillows and sheets which was something I've never seen before but it was nice.”
