Doubletree By Hilton Orlando At SeaWorld

Lord. How this can be by Hilton. Its like back to future :) so old and dirty. Only what is modern is the front desk but they forgot about rooms. No fridge, dirty carpet, pay 3 $ in room for warm water. Bathroom ugly. Bed look dirty i wish i have black light :). The cover and pillow covers are so old and ugly and feel dirty. Bed not comfort at all. Your back will kill u when u wake up. One elevator on each side for 15 floors is not enough. People are lazy walk to 1^st 2^nd floor its so sad.

This double tree was truly amazing! The staff was amazingly attentive! I suffered heat exhaustion after a long day at Sea World and the staff sent cookies and a free glass of wine voucher to our room. Our room was so beautiful and spacious! I would definetly recommend this hotel to friends and family! There is also a free shuttle that takes guests to the surrounding parks.

When I checked in with a coworker, I requested a refrigerator. The gentleman checking me in said that he would get me one, no problem. Never mentioned it was at a price and I was fully willing to pay for one. My coworker was a honors member and he got an upgrade, a fridge and 2 free breakfasts, no problem. I waited till almost midnight for my fridge and called to ask about the status. The woman at the front desk was extremely rude and told me I don’t get one because I was not a high level honors member. I explained that the gentleman that checked me I’m said he was going to send one up to me free of charge. I offered to pay and she would not take my payment over the phone. Since it was midnight, I was not about to get dressed and walk two buildings over to give her my credit card. Now my medicine as well as my food is now questionable because it was to remain refrigerated.
It’s one thing to state that I had to pay, and I would have at check in; it’s another to Renege on a agreement and then be greeted with a horrible attitude from your front desk. The employees here make this place not worth returning. I will suggest to my travel department that we find another vender.

Just meh, to start off they charge 50 dollar resort fee for two nights and say free WiFi and I go and check out and check my bank and I’ve been charged another 20 dollars for wireless internet which wasn’t cool at all since both of us staying just used our phones and free WiFi so watch out. The room its self was nice and had a big tv but a lot of people here seem to complain about roaches so watch out although none were seen. The cleaning lady knocks on your door at like 8 in the morning so if you sleep in don’t forget to put the sign out front. Also parking was very hard to find at night and you would often have to walk far and elevators were only on some sides so we often took the stairs. Be very very wary of the hidden fees that they hide such as internet and refrigerator fee. The fees themselves overall cost 70 bucks for me and I only paid 130 for the room so that is a little ridiculous, they do give you free cookies upon check in. Overall 5.5÷10 not as fancy as you would think from a Doubletree

Our room was not very clean. Had a cockroach walking around. The bathroom tub had rust on the drain and the fixtures were not clean. The toilet handle broke and the toilet would not flush. Overall the room was not what you would expect at a resort. We asked to move rooms after our first night and was denied. However, we were told a manager would give us a call. Nobody ever called. We found it funny on our bill that if we had an issue the management would fix it right away. So we called again after check out. The girl who spoke to my wife was not even listening to her. She offered a free upgrade on our next stay since we stay there so often. What? We don’t stay there often and why would we go back.

I stayed here recently while I was working a convention. This hotel was too inconvenient for business travel and not really nice enough of a resort to stay for leisure with the kids.
After reading Unilocal reviews I asked for a room in the «tower» and was happy to find out that I was already booked in the tower. You see this hotel has many buildings. Most of them are motel style low-​rises where the rooms open to the outside. The tower is the only building with rooms that open to the inside. I still had to drive around the hotel to get to the building. There is no entrance at the very front where you can unload. That made it difficult to get my display and all my supples for meetings to the convention area. Parking can be a bit far.
I had a $ 129 convention rate but with all the taxes and the resort fee, the rate went up to about $ 150. Resort fee? This hotel dos not really feel like a resort. There was a sad looking pool smack in the middle of the resort and I saw a spa advertised. The rooms were acceptable but rather utilitarian and plain. The bathroom looks like it was redone-​at least 10 years ago. The tub looks old and the sink is cracked. I did not find the bedding super comfortable. The blanket was very thin and did not keep me warm in the air conditioning. I will never understand why Hilton’s other brands which are not full service, such as Hampton Inn and Hilton Garden Inn, have comfortable, fluffy duvets, and a full service brand like Doubletree has thin blankets.
One bright side at this resort was the restaurant, Laguna, for which I have written a separate review. Room service was quick and the food was very good too. The staff was friendly, although except for the restaurant and room service I really did not interact with anyone after check in.
I do not get a choice of where to stay when I have certain meetings and conventions. If I had to I would stay at this Doubletree Resort. However if I had a choice I would not stay at this hotel again for personal or business.

I was fine with the hotel
Until the large roach in my bathroom greeted me upon returning for the evening.
Everything else is pretty decent!

We arrived at the hotel and had an issue with finding open parking to check in. We walked over from the available spots by the electric vehicle parking to the lobby. We had a bit of a wait while two other ladies checked in, not a biggie.
We were placed in the tower on the seventh floor and were impressed with the nice condition the room was in. Clean sheets, fresh smelling air and the bathroom was spotless. We were impressed at the size of the tv and I commented that would have been amazing for sports.
Parking could be a bit of an issue if you were out late as we were and had a bit of a hike to the room. There is a convenience store across the street and a bar, along with a Subway and a Bennigan’s restaurant. The Subway was clean, but the convenience store was musty, dirty and old.
Considering how awesome the deal I got and how nice the staff was (limited as my interaction with them was) I have little to complain about.

This resort was awesome. The kiddos thoroughly enjoyed the multiple pools. The food in the Laguna restaurant was fabulous, especially the breakfast buffet. I would give the resort 5 stars except for the fact that the showers did not seem very clean and had lots of mold and mildew. They definitely need a good bleaching. I got around this by buying some shower shoes. The rest of the room was neat as a pin. I also had a deep tissue massage while I was there and can highly recommend the spa at resort. I wish I could remember the name of my masseuse because he was fabulous. Everyone was helpful and pleasant. Highly recommend this place.

We had a great stay here!
Of course the chocolate chip cookies are amazing, and you can buy more at «The Market» — two for 99 cents!
The pool was relaxing, and we found the grounds to be lush and inviting. A perfect place to unwind. Free mini golf and giant checkers too! This hotel has a lot of resort amenities.
Located at the «quiet end» of International Drive, which was perfect for us.
There is a fee for parking; annoying but typical for Orlando. Quick and easy drive to Disney World.
We were fortunate to be in a suite — which was beautiful and large. The shampoo, conditioner and other bath products were a notch above typical hotel — very nice!
We had a lovely visit and would definitely stay again!

This place is fantastic! Wether it’s for work or conventions or as a base for going to universal or Disney it’s smack bang in the middle of both! There is a complimentary shuttle that goes to and from both at very convenient times.
And as an added bonus it’s walking distance to seaworld and aquatica, supermarkets, restaurants.
All very convenient.
The staff (especially Devica) are very helpful and the maid service is exemplary!
Don’t believe the bad reviews these are probably from people who are never happy anywhere!
3 great pools a decent wee gym reasonable prices for food and drink.
We couldn’t have picked a better base for our holiday of a lifetime.

After a horrible experience at allure resort, I found my perfect experience at this amazing hotel! I love the Hilton hotels !!! I have yet to stay at Hilton hotel and not have a great experience. Staff is always welcoming from the front desk (I think her name was Nikky, she was an angel) to the maid staff, the rooms are always perfectly decorated. The property is huge! 3 pools, including a family fun pool for the little ones, arcade, putting green, gift shop, pantry market, etc… Simply spectacular!!! They always make my vacation stays utterly enjoyable! It’s worth every penny!

When my husband complained at the front desk during checkout, he was told they would not give us a discount, but they would give us 5,000 HHonors points. Months have come and gone and those never appeared in my account. Don’t let them fool you if they tell you this.

Room wasn’t ready and waited around for nearly 2 hours. What a disappointment…
Make sure you tell them what time your heading out or the maid knocks every half hour.

This hotel is a decent location if you are attending a conference at the Convention Center or visiting Seaworld /​Aquatica. I was here for a trade show and my work chose this hotel because of its proximity to the exhibit hall we were presenting at.
Easy check-​in with the traditional warm cookies upon arrival. Staff was friendly.
I had a Tower room, which was great. My coworkers had rooms in the shorter «motel» like buildings. My room was nice and spacious as I would expect for a standard room at a Doubletree. The beds were not the most comfortable but not the worse I have experienced either.
This hotel does have secure self-​parking or valet. The lobby is nice with a center wine bar that serves tapas well into the late night hours. (and those tapas are delicious). The hotel has a coffee shop that serves a limited Starbuck menu along with other snacks or quick grab and go meals.
The onsite restaurant has dining inside or outside. There is a buffet for breakfast and dinner as well as a menu to order from. I had both breakfasts and the buffet is the way to go because everything is on it plus a made to order omelet station. And the buffet for dinner was pizza, pasta and salad when we ate there. And for the price it was really enjoyable. The restaurant has a full bar with a nice atmosphere.
The pool seemed busy and looked like it would be fun for kids. Since I was there for work, I did not have the time to enjoy it so no comments to really include.
Overall– it was a nice stay. Not my preferred choice when in Orlando. But if you get a great price and need this end of International Drive then it is a safe bet.

Cookies… Naw really you get cookies when you check in! Really good cookies that make you want to play rock, paper, scissors for another.
A bunch of fun girls pack a car for a night of dancing. We were ready to leave the city for a few hours so we decide to grab a hotel for the night. Very organized and friendly staff get us checked in and direct us to our rooms. The layout is a little confusing. We were in no rush so we took it all in as a mini tour until we bump into our room. Rooms are clean and spacious and perfect distant and cost to get us to Cuba Libre for the night.
While some run for the showers I continue my tour of the facility. Get into a game of giant checkers with some friendly guest and make it to one of the pool in search of an ice machine. There was also a small playground and outside bar. Since most kids were already in bed, I called dibs on the slide and enjoyed the nice night.
When girls are sharing a room — it’s all about counter space and mirrors. 4 girls in a room proved to be a ninja training skill of sliding into space whenever we could but size of the room was still decent. On our way out for the night we crossed several areas in the hotel that provided live music. Some back bar near the pools had guys on guitar, but the best was a man in the lobby playing the piano with a beautiful voice. He was cool with us taking pics and he seemed to enjoy us dancing bachata in the lobby to his music.
The only nuisance was getting a taxi from the hotel? We called but no one showed. We asked guys at the front for help. I assume they tried? but thankful another friend on the trip heard about this great new thing called «Über.» And it worked like a charm. We were picked up safely and dropped off later in the night. When leaving we decided to go back to the desk and thank the front staff for our stay — our reward — MORE COOKIES :-)

Just think about the cookies…
Ignore the dog hairs between the sheets in the bed…
Just think about the cookies…
Ignore the horrible parking and long walk if your room is in the tower…
Just think about the cookies…
Ignore the charge for parking. Really? You’re good, but you’re not that good, Doubletree. I guess that’s what we get for booking on Hotwire…
But just keep thinking about those cookies… oh wait, I don’t have to be a guest to get cookies? I can just buy them anytime I want? Hasta la vista, Doubletree!

This is a surprisingly nice resort. There are three large pools, there is hot tub and a children’s pool. This resort is huge, it takes time getting anywhere. If you go there for a convention there are a ton of ballrooms, make sure you know where you are going. The lobby is beautiful, with a helpful staff and valet. The valet takes care of your car while you check in. The cleaning staff is thorough and timely. They cleaned the room quickly. The security staff is mindful of partygoers but is swift to remove people if they’re causing a problem. I enjoyed the meals there because I have severe Dairy allergies and they were able to accommodate me.

I have stayed at this property two time. The first time I booked through the Hilton website and the Last time was through price line through a blind bid at a awesome deal. This location is very close or walking distance from Seaworld. They do provide shuttle to Sea world, Aquatica and Universal daily.
This property have rooms in the tower that is near the lobby and the villas that’s sum-​what outdoor inn style rooms that are around the property. The suites are mainly in the tower and the individual rooms are in the villas. Parking is not free. They offer valet parking for 12 – 14 dollars and self parking for 7 dollars. Valet parking is only useful if you are staying in the Tower. Check in was really fast and there was a long line in the lobby. I was impressed. I expected a 15 min wait, but it turned to a 5 min wait.
The rooms were very clean and roomy. Include a large flat screen TV, menu to all the restaurants on the property and Crab tree and Evelyn bath products in the bathroom.
Free coffee and coffee machine in room. Nice comfortable beds.
Dinning I have been to there of there restaurants…
Sonoma — Bar Located inside the lobby opens around 4 pm .Food menu is limited to appetizers.
Max Deli– Basically a Café that brews Starbucks coffee. Food consist ready made sandwiches and salads.
Red Parrot Pool Bar– Food menu is similar to Chill’s .
Other amenities…
There are three pools, laundromat, Miniature Golf Course, pool tables, kids gaming area, fitness center, rental car counter, Expedia Local Expert desk, free computers and printing for guest and a onside UPS store and free WiFi .
Over all nice hotel for a family vocations to Sea world, Universal or Disney parks. Great amenities and in house restaurants. Not far from major restaurants and shops.shops. Only issue is the parking fee. Even though its not a high as the Hiltion down the street (25 a night). 14 – 7 dollars a night can put a dent on a family’s savings.

I try to put Hilton in the mix when ever I can and often choose their Double Tree brand. It has nothing to do with the warm cookies on check-​in either wink, wink!
This was my first stay at this property. I literally could see several other hotels from a distance that I have stayed in. The location is superb just outside the Orlando Convention Center, Seaworld and off of interstate 4.
The primary reason we choose was due to the location close to Seaworld, but the price as right and I also successfully utilized Hilton points for FREE nights. There are so many amenities that our family did not utilize on this 30 acre property. I will mention anything that was used by my family. The landscaping was manicured very nicely.
The check-​in was one of the better hotel experiences I have ever had. All employees from pulling up to the front to getting in line were friendly. The gentleman who took care of me went through all amenities of the hotel including one that I did not know which was huge. Since Double Tree is a Seaworld partner they offer at no charge Quick Que vouchers. These are front of the line vouchers that are around $ 20 a piece if you have to purchase. This was a big deal for us. We also found out that there is a special entrance to Seaworld from the back of the Doubletree property. I would not advise it because it looks like a long hike.
The property is completely secured by fencing and gates that allow traffic to flow in and out. A room key wave across the key pay allows access. After getting off the elevator the kids noticed a tray of chocolate covered strawberries setting on the main table from room service. It had yet to be picked up.
Getting in the room was no issue with the same card key waved across the door sensor. The kids were totally stoked with the room and staying in «The Tower» on the 10^th floor that overlooked Seaworld. This was very exciting to have such a view. The luggage rack was removed from the closet and I had to laugh. It looked like it belonged in a Super 8, not a high end DT property. It was old, rusty and looked like someone tried to paint over it.
The room was a very nice double, clean and well appointed and decorated. I did notice that there were not a lot of outlets, but it would do for a couple of nights. We were pleased with a larger in room safe located in the closet. Everything in the bath was in good shape. A few things however… the tub had glazing at the top that had come off. A rubber ring around the controller had broken off and was hanging and the hinges on the door were all rusted out and looked just gross. For this level of hotel it was surprising. FREE WiFi was easily accessed with a room number and last name.
For dinner the first night we utilized a sweet coupon with the check-​in material for Max’s Dinner. I will write up a separate review. It was a nice place the drinks, sandwiches, Starbucks coffee and pizza. The pizza was served hot, but meh!
The night sleep was exceptional on the mattress’s and the climate control worked flawless. All plumbing worked great and had nice water pressure. Housekeeping was excellent the whole stay and at no time did I have an issue with anything not working. My observant kids did notice that the plate of strawberries was still on the same table as it was 14 hours ago when heading out in the AM. That was not good and I would have the expectation from a management standpoint to check all floors in the evening… it never got done on this floor. By the next day in the afternoon it was gone.
The kids checked out the 9 hole indoor mini golf and had a ball. There was an arcade too, but we did not utilize it.
We really enjoyed out stay and it may seem like I was ultra critical. My expectation of a DT property is much higher than say a Holiday Inn. I bring these things out as I did on a close out survey so they can improve items I specifically pointed out. It is my opinion that this stay was a solid four star. But could easily be a five with proper oversight of management. I assume they want to get to the next level.

Ich kann die zahlreichen, hier bereits mehrfach beschriebenen Mängel durchaus bestätigen, obwohl ich hier leider keine Fotobeweise einbringen kann wie die anderen Gäste. Da mein Besuch schon eine Weile her ist, scheinen die Verantwortlichen den Laden offensichtlich nicht wirklich im Griff zu haben — oder es ist dem Management vielleicht auch schlicht egal, denn das Haus scheint in der Nähe der ganzen Amusementparks offenbar gut ausgelastet zu sein. Da der Preis sich in Grenzen hielt, zielt das Hotel offensichtlich auf ein bestimmtes Klientel, welches bei oberflächlicher Beurteilung wohl ausreichend zufrieden zu sein scheint…

Vom Doubletree in Orlando war ich echt überrascht. Zunächst einmal ist es von Hilton. Also wird hier Service groß geschrieben. Die Anlage verfügt über 8 oder 9 Häuser und 3 Pools. Die Häuser haben in der Regel 2 Etagen. Parklplätze gibt es direkt vor dem Zimmer. Die Zimmer an sich sind großzügig geschnitten und modern eingerichtet. Zur Einrichtung zählen unter anderem Flachbild-​TV, Minibar, Haartrocker etc. Der Preis, den wir bezahlt haben war unschlagbar — 144 EUR für 3 Nächte und 2 Personen. Also echt der Hammer.
Das Hotel ist absolut zu empfehlen wenn man in Orlando ist. Seaworld ist gleich um die Ecke und Disney World und Universal sind auch nicht weit.
