Trying to relax by the pool and the metal carts are constantly being pushed to the dining room behind your head. Noisy and obnoxious. Also closed down all ammenities for a party by 6 pm. Even though i paid to be there and use the pool. Never again.

It makes no sense that you are being charged for parking as a guest when you are already paying the high rate the stay. The beds are old and very uncomfortable. Then they try to appease you with water bottle and burned cookies. I am still awaiting my bill receipt and its been a week. I told them no one should leave vacation feeling like they need a vacation/spa day. When we got there we had to request clean sheets as there stains on them and a full face of make-up on the pillow.

My grandson really enjoyed his 7th birthday. The closing of the pool time was perfect (11pm) cause he was able to swim after we came back from Universal. The hotel had plenty of food choices with short walks to other restaurants

Shady pricing to park!!! Expect a hefty charge. (This review submission does not let me include the number) I chose to park elsewhere and they still secretly charged me after i said i was not parking here. i had to get charges removed. Also: All Hilton owned hotels are not friendly if you bring a gaming console.
