Nice place to stay at for a day or two. Wish I had more time to go to the pool but unfortunately had no time.
The proximity to Universal was great. We also loved the pool:-)
The property is beautiful with a fabulous location. However it does not offer amenities that satisfy the name Hilton. One example is the in room coffee- cheap bitter packets in a tiny coffee maker. At a Hilton I expect quality everything but inside the room it is dime store items.
no microwave inside the room, not that impressive as i was expecting
The proximity to Universal is great, as well as the room service and pool area. What I didn’t like was the front desk and it’s inability to handle rude people. Twice I was cut in front of by others and the staff did nothing. Also, the fridge did not work, there was a big yellow stain on our sheets, the remote did not work, and the fan in the bathroom didn’t work. We let it be known but was never re-engaged on the matter. Normally I wouldn’t be so nitpicky but for what we spend I expected more. Also, be prepared for every tax known to man to be thrown your way. Occupany tax. City tourism tax. State tourism tax. I mean sheesh. It’s a massive cash grab.
I liked the close proximity. What I didn’t like was how the staff just didn’t seem ready to handle rude and unruly people. Twice I had someone cut in front of me at the concierge and check in desks and the employees just let them.
The location is great, walking distance to Universal. But the bathroom was pretty horrible. Very dirty. Shaving clippings all over back of vanity and my boys don't shave yet. Also it took a good 30 minutes of running the water before it would get hot enough to take a shower. I felt guilty running the water but just couldn't do a cold shower. Most mornings I took a luke warm shower.
Beautiful hotel and close to the airport however the walls are thin and you can hear the people in the next room. The complementary beverage and snack in the evening was fair. If you are around 12 or 13 years old like the sports teams that were staying at the hotel, you would particularly like it because it involved nacho cheese, animal crackers and cheese its. 😜
The staff was very courteous, Excellent Service and dining. We had great family time.
The bar tenders at the lounge were unbelievable. Perpetual motion! Spot on with drinks, food, ect. Waitress at breakfast were excellent. Front desk staff were great as well as the Concierge. Only problem was that we were on 23rd floor and never even had warm water for showers.
Nice hotel close to Universal Studio. Hotel happy hour is excellent, has variety of items to choose.
