It was a decent room. You can tell that it was a previously purchased property that had been upgraded by Hilton for their Spark hotel line. It was clean and spacious for a King suite room. The sheets and towels were clean with the exception of the overuse of bleach to clean them. The washcloth my husband used tore in half when he used it because it had been over bleached too many times. It would be beneficial that Hilton invest in new carpeting throughout the establishment. Maybe even upgrade the flooring to some laminate flooring. Also I’m not sure why but in the hallways all the emergency lighting alarms were covered over with masking tape and I’m not sure why they’ve done that. If they don’t want to have them, then remove them or update them. We didn’t use the pool since it was just an over night stay so I can’t comment on the cleanliness or accommodations of that area. The breakfast offered in the morning was just as others mentioned in previous reviews- it’s very limited but the coffee was good.

A solid budget hotel choice

Hotel room was ready ahead of time which allowed me to check in early as I was in the area already. Room was clean and orderly, however room was a little warm but that might be due to the unusually hot day, the window blinds being open and the AC only set to 73. Wish there were a little more options for the breakfast bar as it was only bagels; however for the cost/value of the room, it was fine. Overall it was a very good experience and would recommend staying for a trip to Orlando

The rooms look a bit tired and whoever chose the dark blue colour to paint the walls and doors made a serious mistake with the colour and whoever they asked to paint them as it looks terrible and dark and gloomy, That said, the rooms are spacious and the beds are super comfy. The bagel bar breakfast is an excellent bonus to this hotel and anyone who complains there isn’t enough choice is greedy and wrong….if you want a proper cooked breakfast, go out and pay for it elsewhere. The hallways are a little gloomy and the carpet in and around the lifts are horribly stained and don’t give a good impression, but we will definitely stay here again because for the price we paid, the location and facilities were spot on.

It would be nice if guests are not locked out of their rooms before checking out time at 12:00 on the day of checkout. This was a minor issue for me that the hotel needs to be mindful about. Other than this inconvenience, the hotel was nice for the price.

Unfortunately, the front desk locked my key numerous times for lack of communication among each other since I had done 2 bookings and had called prior to arrival to make sure there were no issues. They assured me all was taken care of and made notes in system so staff knew I will remain in same room during all my stay. Do you know how frustrating it is to come back to hotel after a long volleyball tournament with your child and have to battle this not once but twice since our room cards wouldn’t work as exhausting as we were? Unacceptable and surprisingly for being a Hilton Honors member. I can assure you, we will never stay there again.
