Doubletree By Hilton Hotel Orlando At Seaworld

Linda Bush

It was a nice place. But upon staying there, I had never stayed at a hotel where you had to pay to park while staying at the hotel. I've since heard that can be common in bigger cities, but I did not see that listed on the website and have never had to do that when staying at other Double Tree locations. So take that into consideration when budgeting your trip. It was $38 per day. The room was nice enough, and the grounds were also nice. Some of the amenities inside were only available on what the front counter said were, "busy days" which I think meant Fri-Sun. The area was nice, and close to a lot of attractions and conference centers (we were there to attend Premiere Orlando, and drove right around 5 minutes to get there). Oh, and because we were there for an event that was taking place at a different conference center, we had no idea there was an event at the hotel that weekend. Check to see if an event is taking place during the duration of your stay. It made the parking situation TERRIBLE. We're paying $38 a day, and IF you find a parking spot, it was on the other side of the complex. Thankfully after the event (Spooky Empire) left, parking was no issue. But those first 3 days were rough.

This outdated hotel and activity areas were very disappointing. I have never stayed at a Double Tree and had any negative experience, everytime it has been amazing and great, clean and welcoming. This hotel however was the exact opposite and I would never stay here again. Between the horribly old and outdated rooms with a loud AC unit, bathroom toilet that refused to flush fully, and the lack of elevator was baffling. The room was clean, and I am able to use the stairs, so when the lobby attendant asked if the stair were a problem I stated it wasn't. However, I cant imagine how disappointing it would be for people who book online during the busy season, and turn down the 30$ upcharge to stay in the tower, to arrive late and find they have to stay in a 1980s hotel room with no elevator access. I would have gladly paid the $30 had it of know it would almost completely change my experience. But the amenities list, is a lie you should not be telling people. The table hockey was broke, there was trash and leaves all over the putt putt course, nothing was clean or up to date but the pools. I was baffled as I picked Double Tree over other local hotels so my family could use these awesome amenities during our stay. We did a walk through and realized we would rather leave early the next morning, than stay and try to use any of the equipment or games. The only reason I am giving two stars, is because the front desk attendants I dealt with, were very nice, the lobby looked great, and the room had fresh sheets. If I hadn't got this room at a discount for being a veteran, and had paid more than $150, I would have refused to stay in the room and would have taken my family somewhere else. On top of the ridiculous almost $40 parking charge, I still paid almost $200 for a motel 6 quality experience. So in the future for those looking to book, pay the upcharge to stay in the tower, and ignore the list of things and know this place has a pool and free cookies. If I hadnt been able to adjust my dates to the best price point, I would have paid over $300 for this same exact room a few days prior, and this review would have been zero stars for that price point.

My husband and I have been to multiple hotels in Orlando. We come here for all the theme parks, so we’ve stayed in quite a few places over the years (both luxury resorts and more casual/simple hotels). This place definitely has become our top favorite, because of the atmosphere & value. At the front desk, Matt was incredibly helpful and kind as he explained the benefits and perks we can enjoy. He took the time to answer our questions and made sure everything with our check-in went smoothly. Nessa also greeted us with the biggest smile and such a warm attitude that we felt so welcomed. They were so friendly and professional. For reference, we always get the Epic package at this hotel and it comes with really great benefits and perks that make the stay even better ! We have spent about five nights here already (with this package) and we definitely recommend it~

We dined at the onsite restaurant before our team’s volleyball tournament as a group of 30. Groups that large can be a hassle especially during a busy season but the restaurant handled it seamlessly. Everything from the coordination with Mr. William Gomez to table service with Maria, Norma, and Perafan were outstanding. Plenty of food choices at the breakfast buffet to satisfy everyone. And we were able to sit in a section of the restaurant together. Highly recommend this venue - especially for those that may be in town for the Sunshine tournament.

From the moment we checked in our experience has been ABOVE & BEYOND from every staff member, AND from the hotel, the rooms, & grounds as well!!! Everything is completely spotless & the beds are very comfortable! Matt checked us in & was SO accommodating, helpful, & kind!! The $9 upgrade when we reserved to have breakfast in the on site restaurant (Laguna) every morning is ABSOLUTELY WORTH it! The food is fantastic & goes WAY BEYOND the typical hotel breakfast!! There's SO MANY HOT/FRESH & UNIQUE food options avail in addition to the normal breakfast foods buffet; from salmon w/capers, cheeses & meats, to fresh fruit, omelet bar, plantains, roasted tomatoes topped with cheese & excellent seasoning, beans & rice, even beautiful breakfast burritos!! The service is always friendly & fast! We were always in & out QUICK and that helped with getting to the theme parks! We dined there for dinner one evening & the food AND service FAR SURPASSED our expectations!! Victoria was our server & SO sweet & really on it with keeping our water filled!! Pool area is awesome & the bartender was really quick & friendly! We will DEFINITELY BE BACK the next time we stay in the area!!
