We were in town for a wedding and decided to stay in a “Central location” this was at the south end of all the “I-Drive” action. Near trolly stop 23. We checked in and were greeted with smiles and friendly face everywhere! The hotel was very busy as we arrived at peak check-in time and it didn’t impact the mood of the staff one bit! Our room was very nice, beds were not the most comfortable I’ve ever had but they were very good. Plenty of outlets and a small refrigerator, we had a pool view room and it was great! We ate in the restaurants a few times during our stay, we enjoyed the variety of the menus and the food was delicious!! The Steakhouse was quite expensive but the pool menu and David’s Club were very reasonably priced and the shop had great quick service breakfast options (and late night options). David’s has the buffet with omelet station and carving station for breakfast and separate Lunch and Dinner menus. David’s advertised as “Burgers and Bourbon”…a nice bourbon selection, centered around a few varieties of Michters. Not much in the way of “allocated” bourbon but a nice selection of others. The pool bar was nice, plenty of wait staff around the pool and a few bartenders at the bar most of the day, a completely different menu than anything inside the hotel, a nice light menu for outdoor fare in central Florida. Hilton offered limited transportation to and from Universal and Sea World. It was available but not an all day thing, you need to make reservations for it and it only has a few morning options and a few evening return options, but it is available. They do offer a daily pass for the trolly that runs up and down International Drive, basically from one outlet mall to the next (North to South). They have a bunch of stops all up and down I-Drive. The Spa staff was friendly and the prices were very reasonable for a resort like this one, the housekeeping staff was courteous and friendly! Overall, this Hilton experience was among the best we have had, we are Hilton Honors members and this will be one that we DEFINITELY return to! 9.9/10!!
