The hotel was nice and clean.Modern lobby, staff were friendly and helpful.They had a nice pool and a ticky bar and a hot tub. The only thing is that I wish they offered free breakfast like other hotels in that area. For a large family eating breakfast out every day would be very expensive.

Nice quiet hotel with large pool and outdoor bar. Hotel restaurant food options were simple and tasted great. 24 quick stop for drinks and snacks available in hotel. Less than 5 minute drive to Universal Studios, Islands of Adventure, Citywalk and Volcano Bay parking. Around a 12 minute drive to Epic Universe parking. Shuttles are available as well. Would 100% recommend to anyone visiting the Universal Orlando Resort.

Had the most beautiful honeymoon here, for 5 days the way was perfect, the staff was nice, even the tiki bar was amazing. Cat specially was so nice and funny each time we came down stairs in the morning, made there enjoyable. The room was so nice very spacious and the bathroom was spectacular. The hot water was nice touch loved the whole day throughout the whole end of our time there would definitely come back again.

Okay for one night after a day at the parks. This was our first time at this particular Hilton. We are Hilton members and I typically like this brand however this did not meet my expectations. The blackout curtain in our room would not close so the parking lot lights shone in our room all night, and there was no conditioner or body wash in our shower. Of course I didn’t realize it until I was already in the shower…the room was clean, the bed was comfortable and the water pressure descent but it’s the little things that keep people coming back and I think the mark was missed this trip.

For a rate of about $155/night, my stay felt 4 or 5 star in quality. I rate it primarily on how new, clean, and functional everything was. This was renovated in 2024 and I hope they can keep the feel. Dehumidifier must be working overtime. Hotel was clean and dry throughout. Air conditioner worked quickly and perfectly. Relatively quiet and no rattling. Could be turned to heat or off settings as well. Minor issue in that my shower was very hot at full pressure. So I had to back it off slightly to try to even it out. So enjoyed less pressure there, not a big deal. Hand pump, quality soap and lotion in sink and shower area. Small microwave and well-chilled refrigerator in room. All around surprised. It felt reliable and quality and not a discount. I stayed here instead of the Aventura where my event was. I stayed there last year. A few more amenities and flare, but it was twice the price. Uber was cheap to get back and forth. Plus I could walk to Walgreens or food from Hilton Garden Inn. Lastly, I tested WiFi Internet at around 70Mbps down, and 30Mbps up. I can’t speak to its consistency if you stream video uploads or files, though.

Hotel was excellent. The only issue I had were the pillows. They were absolutely awful. Super soft down pillows, head sunk straight to the mattress - had to stack all 3 together to get a modicum of head/neck support. Made for a very restless night. If guest comfort is a hotel’s priority, then add at least one medium/firm pillow into the mix.

Check-in process was very smooth despite it being after 12 AM when we were able to check in. The hotel itself was very clean and quiet as was our room. I would 100% come back to this hotel and stay. For the price, you can’t beat it. It is also a 7 minute drive from the Universal parks/City Walk and only about 25-30 minute drive from Disney parks!

I stayed at this property for a couple of days with a friend while visiting the Universal Studios parks. The location was convenient, and getting to and from the parks by Uber was quick and easy. We signed up for the meal plan and had breakfast every morning, which turned out to be one of the highlights of our stay. The kitchen staff was wonderful—especially Mayru, who made our experience truly memorable. She greeted us warmly each morning, remembered us, and went out of her way to engage in kind conversation. She was attentive not only to us but also to her colleagues and other guests, which really stood out and made us feel welcome. Unfortunately, our last day ended on a sour note. We stored our luggage with the front desk after checkout since our flight was later in the evening. When I misplaced the claim ticket, I explained the situation to Missy at the front desk. Instead of helping me resolve the issue, she began raising her voice at me in the lobby, which was embarrassing and uncomfortable in front of my friend and other guests. I offered to describe my bag and asked if I could accompany her to the storage room, which eventually resolved the issue, but only after I gave her a tip did her demeanor change. The interaction left a negative impression on both my friend and I. Overall, the hotel itself was clean and comfortable. However, because of the disappointing experience with the front desk, we likely won’t be returning and will opt for other hotels in the area.

Please revisit your policies at that hotel, cause i am sure these ladies at the breakfast station are annoying a bunch of guest everyday

Breakfast is available for a fee and is often described as good, but pricing and unclear signage—and occasional tipping pressure—frustrated several guests. The poolside tiki bar is popular, though food options are simple and sometimes pricey.

We went to Universal and loved this hotel! We were thrilled with the hearty inexpensive breakfast, the great pool with cabanas, the tiki bar by the pool, the available washer/dryers, the quality of the food we ordered from the room, the comfort of the beds, the free shuttle to the parks, and the exceptional service of all the staff. In fact, we were so pleased that we found the Disney mid-priced resort very disappointing in comparison. We definitely got an incredible value and wonderful experience. We'd definitely plan to stay here again and will recommend it to friends!

I loved the hotel. However, we were not informed at the desk that the continental breakfast was not included. It was very misleading and not represented properly with a small sign out of view saying it cost $16 per person which we would not have opted for had we known. If you’re going to offer food in the lobby, make sure your price and signage is in plain view by the plates so the people staying at your hotel can make a decision.

The property was in a good location for Universal and close enough to Disney Springs. The big surprise was the breakfast was not complimentary--it is $20.00 per person and the nice lady working breakfast said that it is worth it because they have a Chef on site, but I do not think it was any different then what you would get free at any other Hilton. I must not have been clear that breakfast was not complimentary, but we were never told at check in either. When I asked the front desk staff about it, she said oh you are with a third party booking site and you are only a Silver Hilton Honor Member--just shy of don't care pay for breakfast and good bye. That was that. The room was clean and the property nice, but the staff and breakfast were a disappointment.
