After a very long flight, my kids and I were super excited to check in at the hotel we took an Uber from MCO to the property which was only about a 20 minute drive. Upon arrival we were not greeted, front desk lady seemed moody and not very helpful, I asked for upgrades available since I’m a Hilton’s Honor Member and without checking she immediately said “there’s none” I had to ask questions about all the amenities including breakfast hours, shuttle transportation and such because she wouldn’t tell me anything and I overheard the agent next to her who was checking in another guest explaining everything about the hotel to the guest. She was super friendly had a great smile great attitude and I’m sure she made that guest feel very welcomed. I wish I could have been checked in by her. Once I got to my room first thing I noticed was the carpet by the entry door, it was dirty and worn out, room had a muggy smell and the AC was noisy. Also bathroom tub was dirty, two towels were stained, water pressure was very low I called front desk several times and no one answered. On the other hand my little boy did enjoy the pool and breakfast staff was very friendly. This will be my first and last time staying at this Doubletree.

I took my niece who was visiting the states from Italy. The walk up Universal Studies was just a walk across the bridge. There were many restaurants and shopping close by. The restaurant had a nice buffet with an omelet station. The gift shop had a large variety of items. We enjoyed the dinner in the lobby. Pool and jacuzzi were nice. They had a Starbucks, ice cream parlor, and burger shop on the premises. Our flight arrived early in the morning and we were allowed to check in prior to check in time, we appreciated that.

Half of the staff were delightful. The other half absolutely miserable and unhelpful. Rooms were not properly cleaned. Couldn’t use the coffee machine per mold and old tea bag. We waited 2.5 hours to get cleaned towels which ruined our day at the park the following because we were up late waiting and calling again and again for towels (other guests struggled as well) When they finally arrived the very rude staff acted like I was inconveniencing him. AC was broken and we had to wait forever to get it fixed and it never was quite right. Overall great location but overrated in review stars.

The hotel looks better in the photos. Seems a little outdated. Upon entering the room checked out the cleanliness in the bathroom saw hair. Overall the room was not great. The bed sheets were not in good condition. Not white looked a little dingy. We go to Starbucks located in the hotel. We order two coffees and egg sandwiches. As I’m eating my sandwich I see a hair in it. I go back in Starbucks to complain and the workers made it seem as though it was planted there. Saying it’s prepackaged and goes into the oven. However not a single employee wore hair nets. As I’m waiting for her to process the return which she did d so reluctantly I see a roach crawling on the expresso machine. Not sure if that’s a policy. She only refunds me for the sandwich and not the whole bill. There’s only two restaurants American grill and a pizza place. No room service. I’ve stayed in other hotels in Orlando the only convenience was that it was across the street from Universal. Will not be returning.
