    Damaged / dirty bathroom mirror frame.
    Paul W.

    This property has an overall rating of 2.5 stars which is exactly what it deserves in my opinion. When using the sort feature on Yelp, one can see that nearly all the most recent reviews are negative. The last time I stayed here more than 8 years ago, I gave it 3 stars. For my most recent stay it gets 2 and I'm a bit surprised that both the Hilton and Doubletree brands allow their names to be associated with this property. The best thing I can say is that the check-in and departure processes were quick, simple and the employees were outgoing and friendly. The warm cookies upon arrival the hotels in this chain provides are also always a bonus. Everything from there was downhill. When booking this Doubletree by Hilton, one has the option to reserve a standard room, which are normally in one of the "villas" - basically older-style motel rooms housed in one of 19 out buildings, where the entrance doors to the rooms open to the outdoor walkways and parking lot. Last time I stayed in one of those I could hear traffic noise and was jarred awake by people talking outside my room, along with hotel staff pushing carts around late into the night and beginning very early the next morning. One can also pay a bit more to reserve a "tower room" which are supposedly nicer, more upgraded hotel rooms, but the room I was given in that tower on this trip was in a bad state of repair overall. There was grease from the heads of former occupants of that room on the headboard, the leather desk chair was badly cracked in many places and had paint peeling from it, there were stains on the walls, paint peeling from the bath tub, and the shower was very slow to drain. While the TV had a decent variety of channels, there was no channel guide or menu as most every modern hotel has had for at least a decade. Rather, at this Doubletree, the TV remote just had a power and channel up/down buttons. One can easily tell this is an older property that's simply not well-maintained or deeply cleaned, and they basically put lots of lipstick on a proverbial pig in an effort to try and make it look updated - but even that occurred some time ago. The real kicker is that guests are charged a $25/day "resort fee" which covers things most patrons will never use, such as shuttles to the parks, trolley rides, discounts on gift shop purchases and mini golf. If you wish to park your car overnight, they charge an additional $30 for that privilege which is insane. Last time I stayed here, they at least included the cost of parking in the resort fee. If you must stay here, request a tower room. If you have the option of staying at another nearby hotel that's in better physical condition, even if you need to pay a bit extra to do so, I'd strongly recommend it.

    This place definitely left a lot to be desired. I wouldn't choose to stay here again. It took me 4 hours to get my room. It was super busy and there was a convention in town but still, geez. The room was clean but outdated and shows the years of wear and tear, especially in the bathroom areas. With the exception of the tower, this resort is actually a motel style resort. I really don't like this, especially for safety reasons, the room doors are accessible from the exterior. Thank God for the cookies!

    Whoa this place has gone downhill massively. I've been coming here for 8 years In a row. This time was terrible. The manager Emily is gone and now I see why all the issues we had. To make this brief i was changed to 4 different rooms, I was bitten by bugs in the room, the rooms are dirty and they didn't change the sheets, the bathroom didn't have a shower curtain and the staff was awful. Just awful. I did speak to JC who knew bout all the issues and he gave us meal vouchers. Wow, that did not make up for the bite marks the bug and yes I should have did an incident report & when I checked out I was charged resort frees which was clearly supposed to be taken off. I will upload the pictures and they speak for Themselves. Sadly because of the nastiness and lack of care we won't be back. This hotel is ran down and they need Emily back.

    I booked a room at the DoubleTree Orlando at SeaWorld while attending the Grainger Show. I had several hotel options available through the event block and unfortunately chose this one thinking it would be a good experience. When booking, I selected a king bed in the tower, but upon arrival I was placed in what is essentially an older motel-style building outside the main hotel. The room was dated and did not feel clean, which was disappointing compared to what I expected from a DoubleTree property. When I went back to the front desk to ask about moving to the room type I originally requested, I was told that I did not book a king room, despite that being the reason I chose this hotel in the first place. There was no attempt to resolve the situation or offer any alternative solution. For a hotel hosting a large professional event like the Grainger Show, I expected a much higher level of service and accommodation. Unfortunately, the experience felt more like a roadside motel than a Hilton-branded hotel. If you're attending an event nearby, I would strongly recommend looking at other hotels in the area before choosing this one.

    Hopefully this isn't a bedbug.

    Stayed here for a conference nearby. The good: Friendly staff, room was clean, restaurant on site was good, everything in the room worked, and the cookies. The bad: resort for amenities that I never used, pay for self parking, the room smelled a little dank. I killed a blood gorged bug that was on the bed. Not sure it was a bedbug so I checked and didn't see others. Didn't have anymore bug sightings. Overall ok.

    If you know me, you know I enjoy staying at DoubleTrees for their warm iconic COOKIES! I usually have decent experiences with DoubleTree, but this is probably one of the worst to date. DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Orlando Seaworld's facilities is spread out through a series of building so in our case it was a far walk from the lobby to our room. The interior of the room could use a lot of upgrades. Everything was dated and sketch. Worst of all was the shower faucet in our room 700 was leaky. So when you switch to shower mode, half of the water is still going out of the bottom faucet. This is total water waste. The toilet used a lot of water per flush too, but the dumb thing is that it didn't always flush everything away. There was no soap for the first two nights. For the last day, the soap was suddenly there. We were using the body wash as soap and running to the shower to grab soap for the first few days. So awkward. We even had a roach run into our room from the outside and thankfully my friends were brave enough to smash it before it contaminated our belongings. This wasn't even bad compared to how our friends' room had a flies infestation and it was flying around them. So gross. And no opportunity for a room switch because the hotel was completely booked for some conventions in town. The few pros was that they had a fridge and microwave in the room. Bedsheets were clean. That's all I can think of. Really subpar for what I think of when I think of a DoubleTree. I would not consider coming back and I don't recommend.

    Body wash. Body wash. Empty conditioner.

    Beautiful Property With Some Fixable Issues The resort itself is very pretty and was buzzing with multiple conferences during my stay. There are two pools--family and non-family--which is a great idea in theory. I just wish there was some enforcement of the "no kids in the non-family pool" expectation. A few guests ended up having to worry about other people's children, including kids swimming fully clothed, which made the adult pool feel less relaxing. The towel situation at the pool also needs improvement. Towels were left scattered on chairs, and there was no clear sign or designated place to return dirty towels. This made it hard to know which lounge chairs were actually taken. A simple towel station--pick up and drop off--would make things much smoother. I also wasn't impressed with staff approaching guests by the pool to sell packages. It reminded me of being on a touristy beach where vendors constantly come up to you--definitely not the relaxing atmosphere I was hoping for and it made the experience feel a bit inauthentic. The room was fine overall, and I liked that the kitchen/bathroom area could be separated with a sliding door. However, the amenities were confusing. Our "hand soap" turned out to be lotion, and we received no shampoo. The shower had two body wash containers and an empty conditioner container, so I'm not sure if something was missed or if shampoo simply isn't provided anymore. It left us guessing. The resort layout is nice, though the resort map provided could use a small update--the billiard symbol was a pool table ball when it actually leads you to a ping-pong table, which threw off our whole group. Parking was also a challenge, especially with multiple conferences happening. Both front and back lots were packed. Maybe dedicated conference parking would help regular guests park closer to their rooms. Despite the issues, I would return and give the resort another try. The property has a lot of potential, and with a few improvements, it could be a truly great stay.

    Yes, the resort fee includes parking. I shared the bldg map.. even numbers face the gardens and pools odd face parking lots. No elevator to second floor in east/west buildings. We like buildings 3 6 and 7. No fridge in room, bring a cooler. Enjoy!!

If you don't follow your GPS like it's the voice of God, you'll drive past this place at least 10 times wondering if you're being pranked. Once you finally find it, though, you're in for a surprise. The hotel is attached to a magnificent steakhouse and gives off this classy vineyard-patio vibe that makes you feel like you're about to attend a wine tasting, even if you're just there for work like I was. Walking up, there are beautiful outdoor tables with glass tops where guests can relax, eat, and pretend they're important. Then you walk into the lobby and BAM dark wood floors, elegant furniture, comfortable sofas, and enough atmosphere to make you wonder, Wait what did I accidentally book? I was honestly concerned I'd somehow clicked the wrong hotel and was about to max out my credit card. Nope. Surprisingly affordable. The room? Fantastic. You've got a Keurig machine ready to fuel your caffeine addiction, a nice big TV, all the amenities you need, and then there's THE BED. Listen, I don't know if it's a pillow-top, a cloud-top, a Sleep Number, a NASA mattress, or if angels personally fluff it every afternoon, but that thing is dangerous. I laid down for what felt like five minutes and woke up the next morning. I slept harder than a newborn after a bottle. Now let's talk about room service. They have this little stand where you order directly from the steakhouse downstairs. I ordered dinner, expecting hotel prices that require a small bank loan. The bill was $35. I nearly called the front desk to report a pricing error. Meanwhile, I was hungrier than a hostage, and they delivered a meal fit for royalty. For a brief moment, I genuinely felt like a VIP. The hotel also has a nice bar for those who enjoy a drink. I don't drink, but if I did, I probably would've celebrated finally finding the entrance. Bottom line: great atmosphere, beautiful property, comfortable rooms, amazing food, affordable prices, and a mattress that may have supernatural powers. Would I stay here again? Absolutely. Would I still need GPS to find it? Also absolutely.
