Room and staff are excellent, I take issues with the parking costs 34 dollars a night, such is more than some of the universal resorts charge, but at least those parking areas are covered. Then there's the concession downstairs... $4.50 for a can of coke. The hotel is outside the theme park, not part of it or in it. This shows a willingness to price gouge they're own paying customers. If available, take a look at one of the identically priced on premises resorts...

Very disappointing stay at the DoubleTree by Hilton Orlando. The South Tower elevators were mostly not working. I had to take the stairs multiple times, and when one elevator was operating, the wait was often 10 minutes or more. At times, even the only working elevator stopped completely. The first night was awful. The heater didn’t work, and there was a constant running-water noise that never stopped. Maintenance was unavailable, making it extremely hard to sleep. My flight was canceled, forcing me to rebook the trip through Expedia. Although the hotel refunded the original stay, I had booked a month in advance, and rebooking the same hotel caused the price to nearly double. I ended up paying about $700 more, which felt unfair given the issues during the stay. The large fountain featured in booking photos wasn’t running at all, making the entrance look neglected and misleading. Also, if you rent a car, parking is $35 per night, which adds up quickly. For the price and Hilton name, this stay fell far below expectations.

Elevator maintenance - hotel must ensure all elevator are operating during busy hours. Just 1 elevator was working to attend 18 floors and waiting almost 30 minutes to get in with luggage. Guests were upset and just created a bad environment.

The best thing this hotel has going for it is location. You can walk to Universal in about 10 minutes! Overall it is a little worn. The beds are comfortable and the room was clean, but as many older hotels, the carpet is worn out & pretty disgusting. That really bothers me. The check in staff was super nice & everyone got a free cookie! Decent and a good price. If the carpets were newer & cleaner I'd give it 5 stars.
