Unfortunately upon arrival our room was not clean. When we opened the room door it smelled mildewy & the air condition unit was dripping.. Then when we went into the bathroom we found small black hairs all over the shower. Our TV in the room was broken & only 2 out of our 5 outlets worked lol. It was super disappointing to the point we considered switching to a different hotel. It was also disappointing bc I picked it specifically based off the decent reviews it had. Maybe it was just a dud & the rest of their property is clean but I can confirm I will never stay there again.

Front desk was very friendly giving us a cookie and bottles of water. The American Grill had excellent food and our server was very good as well. The power was out when we checked into the hotel so that was kind of an issue in the beginning but we still got our room before 4:00. Our only complaint was that the water in the pool was way too warm. Not refreshing at all. I know it’s hot in Florida but some places have cooling systems for their pools and the doubletree should invest in one. The hotel itself is a bit tired and in need of some updating including the common areas, rooms and bathrooms. Overall we had a nice time and our primary reason for visiting was to go to Universal Parks. The hotel provided transportation to and from the parks, just wish the shuttle went back n forth all day long instead of just certain times.

First time staying at this property, the staff was very rude, and unprofessional. Everyone look like they were having a bad day. It was very dirty and dated, no one answers the phone at the reception desk. Housekeeping doesn’t clean the room regularly, and 1 day our room did not have any water, and we had issues with toilet the entire vacation. The elevator was horrible, at least one or two was not working at times. I did speak to the manager 1 day, but not much was done. I was told that I would be given points for the inconvenience, but as of now still nothing. Starbucks was no better, everyone there was rude, no smile at all. They have a Very nice pool, but the pool bar is a joke. Overpriced with watered drinks. Seems like the staff at this hotel just hates their job. We did get very good food and service at the sunshine Café for breakfast, and also the pizza shop. Location is good, especially if you’re planning on going to Universal, which is walking distance. But if you’re looking for good service with a pleasant staff, that care's about your stay, that’s clean and in good working condition avoid this location.

Aside from the room needing a slight upgrade, the bathroom smelled wet due to not having vents to remove the steam after showering, I had to go out and purchase a plug in. The hotel was nice & quiet. Excellent location to Universal, lots of amenities for a seven year old, she especially liked the ice cream parlor and splash pad. I will stay again. Bathroom needs upgrading for sure.

It was decent for the price. Housekeeping staff are absolutely helpful and they clean your place beautifully so you get back to a clean bed. I didnt use the fitness center or pool. We used the starbucks on the premises which is helpful as there is no other breakfast. Front desk staff are not all that friendly, they look at you as if you are wasting their time - as a tourist destination this should change. Maybe it was because I was Indian but they should treat tourists without difference.

Good for free shuttle if you actually use it!

We stayed here for access to universal. But we only used the free shuttle once. It was the best shower I have ever had. Wonderful water pressure after hot days at the parks. Beds were very comfy. Starbucks and restaurants on first floor was a perk. We ended up “car sharing” to the parks so I don’t know if I would stay here on purpose again. But it was a good stay overall!
