Comedy of errors, no parking due to local bar
This visit was a comedy of errors. Check-in was fine, entering room it smelled musty. Left for a long day, upon return there was no parking, college students at bar next door use Hilton lot for overflow parking. Hilton did give us placard to put on dashboard, obviously didn't help, front-desk told us to leave car in "no parking, handicap loading/unloading spot". They also had sign in lobby at night which said bathrooms closed, figured out why when I saw group of college students stop in lobby & turn around, seems bar attendees also try to use hotel for bathroom overflow. Back to room, toilet isn't flushing - I could call front-desk but what kind of response would I get at 11:30pm??? Walked daughter to fitness center down hall to use that bathroom. Fitness center had a very weird funk smell to it. Due to non-flushing toilet, fitness center bathroom was our go-to when needed from that point forward. Next morning taking shower & of course the conditioner bottle on the wall is completely empty.

Just an average stay. $16 for a continental breakfast is way too much. There was a very musty smell in our room and in all of the hallways- maybe due to hurricane and power but not sure. Had to get our tv replaced as the first one did not work. Service walked into our room Sunday morning without knocking because their paper showed the room was vacant. All in all- just okay.

The property is conveniently located near UCF. The first room had an overwhelming odor. They immediately assigned a different room, which was near the elevator and we could hear it throughout the night. There were cracked restroom tiles, peeling/bubbling wall texture in the restroom, and the air conditioner was very noisy. We asked for a different room and the front desk would not change it, even though they had customers checking out that day. We left a message for management and they never contacted us. We have stayed at 3 Hiltons near UCF recently. Despite the convenient location of this one, we will never stay here again.

I hate to give a negative review when the employees were as helpful as they could be. First off, our key cards didn’t work. Got new ones which worked. We went out in the evening. Again, our key cards didn’t work (they worked to get us into the hotel after hours but not for our room). Got new ones which worked. While we were gone someone used our room. They left a tshirt, one dirty sock, two wet towels, a dirty hand towel, and bizarrely a pair of glasses. The glasses were on the bedside table. Couldn’t tell if they’d used the bed. Nothing was stolen. The night staff put us in another room. Not sure if they couldn’t reach a manager (none were onsite at night) or what the deal was but they couldn’t give us key cards to the new room. Breakfast was comped and in the morning the manager gave us some Hilton Honors points, I think enough for one free night. This is the second time a Hilton in Florida has been not great (by TPA, there was visible mold in the a/c unit). Hiltons in other parts of the world are my go-to mid-price hotel, so I’m not sure what’s going on with the Florida Hiltons. Staff was friendly and helpful and I think the night staff were as freaked out as we were. Breakfast was pretty good.
