I just needed a place to stay overnight while passing through Orlando and this hotel was perfect for that. It was clean, spacious, dog-friendly, and very conveniently located. Things that need improving - they said breakfast was included but breakfast is just bagels and over by 10 a.m. on the dot. Blink and you miss it. Also, the staff was kind but not super knowledgeable about the area.

No chairs at pool area. No towels. Fitness room no weights. Treadmill did not work. No glasses in the room. No coffeemaker. Breakfast only offered bagel and coffee. Would never stay there again. Reception was friendly.

Thank you for your review. I am very sorry that you were not satisfied with the standards of the Hilton Spark. As we are renovating there are some things on back order such as the pool furniture, work out equipment and towels. The breakfast is now a bagel bar and the in room amenities are limited but we do offer coffee 24 hours a day and cups are at the coffee bar. We will relay your comments to the brand for future consideration in adding different options. We appreciate your feedback and hope you will reconsider using us in the future.

Response from Amanda on 25 Feb 2024
Thank you for your review. I apologize that the alarm went off since we found someone smoking on the stairwell, but I am glad it was only that and not a true emergency. I am sorry that it caused you an inconvenience during your stay and although we cannot control what other guests do, we try to alleviate these issues by regularly checking these areas. We hope that you will give us another opportunity in the future to exceed your expectations on the next trip.

The hotel is terrible, full of mold on the ceiling and walls, smelly bedding, terrible bed, my husband and children had serious allergies, I was only able to stay one night because I was forced, I was with children and I didn't have where to go. Terrible hotel and to this day I'm still waiting for them to give me back my money that they deducted from my card in the amount of 80 dollars.

I had a great experience at this hotel. They were very clean and all the staff was helpful and kind. They offer shuttle services to Universal and Epcot which I found convenient. It’s very close to everything. The only thing that could improve is breakfast, it’d be nice to have at least eggs and cereal and not only pastries. But besides that it’s a nice place to stay.
