Stayed for one night, and had a great experience at Orlando Marriott Lake Mary! All the people with whom I interacted were friendly and helpful, and the warm breakfast buffet more than made up for the temporary closure of the executive lounge The beds were comfortable, water pressure was great, and the rooms were clean/well proportioned I would definitely stay here again

Long time Life Platinum now Titanium Great 3 day stay till 1 AM on our last night Woke up by extremely loud guest

Sure others were disturbed Finally got back to sleep after a couple hours At least the hotel responded fairly quick after my call In the morning we got up and drove 8 hours homeWhen I said something the next morning as we were leaving, all I got was “Sometimes we have bad guests”Everything was 5 star till no real concern or consideration No points or other adjustments for this significant inconvenienceRestaurant staff and breakfast were 5 star

The staff was wonderful and tried to be accommodating which is amazing considering how under staffed they were The breakfast buffet was excellent We did encounter a few issues

No Handicapp stalls in the ladies room on the main floor, air conditioner in our room did not work It was replaced with a new unit a few hours later; clogged toilet, they had to use a Plunger to fix (40 minutes later), I booked my room 6 weeks in advanced with a request for a king room with roll in shower which was confirmed Upon my arrival was informed there were given out earlier Why bother booking special requests if they are not honored We did have a walk in shower, no hand held shower head shower head and no bench to sit on Very painful trying to stand to shower Very disappointing

Jessica Glancy

I stayed here for a conference June of 2022 The staff at the front desk was super helpful and friendly My room was clean and comfortable

My only complaint is about the air conditioner in my room It ran constantly, and it was loud To get it to turn off I would turn the temperature up on the thermostat This shut the unit off, but it wouldn’t be long until the room would get humid and the air needed to be turned on The overall stay was great and I would stay here again

Alycia Alvarez

Always a great stay We’ve stayed twice with our baseball team The hotel is clean, the staff is friendly & the beds are comfortable

The location isn’t my favorite & I always have trouble with the gate in the parking lot but I will continue to stay here when we’re playing ball in Orlando The kids always enjoy the pool & hot tub & there is a restaurant & bar right down stairs, which is super convient

The welcoming front desk agents (Franklin), the F&B staff (Marco), and the great Sales & Events department (Ashley) made our meetings and over night stay so pleasurable! The staff was so professional and genuinely warm and friendly The hotel was clean and the food for our 2 day catered meeting was absolutely delicious! All my coworkers raved about the food and service! Kudos to you all!

Gina F.

I recently stayed here due to an unexpected trip because of a family emergency The staff here at the hotel could not be any more welcoming, hospitable, and kind during my visit Front desk staff (standout Franklin), Samuel, housekeeper Maria, and Director of Sales, Jim Donovan! Not to forget the staff at The Coffee Bean and Bartender in the restaurant

The hotel is in a great location with easy access to restaurants, mall, grocery stores, gas stations It has it all! If you chose this hotel you will not be disappointed

Amanda Lyn

Rude staff, dirty rooms, rotting bathroom wall Peeling paint, rust on the make up mirror, as well as the walls somehow, and rusty shower head The sink was the slowest drain I have ever seen

Room so dusty my husband had an asthma attack We checked out within 8 hours The manager was no where to be found to speak to even when we called back later in the day Would have loved a refund for that first night that we only stayed 8 hours for but I’m just glad we got out and didn’t get charged for the other nights we were supposed to stay Oh and if you enjoy privacy when you use a bathroom definitely don’t stay here because the bathroom doors are sliding barn doors with huge gaps! Absolutely awful hotel I went by the good reviews and was so disappointedEDIT: director of rooms Sal Perez reached out to me and offered a partial refund and seemed responsive to training the staff Thanks sal for working to make this right!

Heather Chandler

Other than some mold/mildew in the bathroom, the room was wonderful I sleep in the day and it was quiet and the curtains kept the room dark The breakfasts were outstanding, especially the made to order omelets

I loved the restaurant in the lobby I ate there all 4 days and all the meals were tasty I would definitely go again and recommend the place to friends and family

Lori Leigh O’Gara

Customer service was great, for the most part, the hotel was not It was the loudest hotel I have ever stayed in You could hear every little thing through the walls and doors

Children were running all over the place with no one saying a word to them The bed was very uncomfortable The pillows were flat The complementary toiletries were cheap The “balcony” that I was looking forward to sitting on to drink coffee and look at the lake in the morning was a 12 in ledge with a railing and a slide open window The breakfast was mediocre, the cooks doing the made to order omelets were rude The staff cleaning up the dinning area were very polite The cleaning staff were attentive The front desk staff were great The parking was ok, but several large trucks and one SUV took two and three parking spots so it was difficult to find a place to park I tend to stick with Hilton hotels because they are normally a cut above and I am rarely disappointed This time, I was wondering if I had actually booked a Hilton property or a look a like Come on, Hilton, you can do better than this

Monica Lopez

We always stay at the embassy suites and this one was probably the worst one we’ve stay at Employees were great and nice but the hotel was very out dated, our room was not clean The A/C did not work, it said it was on 65 but felt like 75

It was very humid in our room When it rained the carpet in the room by the window got soaking wet My son slept on the pull out bed and the bed was VERY uncomfortable, no padding what so ever He said he just felt the springs in the bed The staffed fixed the bed by bringing a pillow topper but that should not be necessary The buffet breakfast was good but I wish the happy hour was at least til 8 We always missed the happy hour because we were at the baseball fields for my son’s tournament At the end of our week long stay there was a huge group of people that came to stay and they took up every single seat in the lobby during breakfast time Nobody else had a place to sit during breakfast, they were not even eating so I found that annoying that we had to sit without a table to eat our breakfast Overall very disappointed in this embassy stay

Christian Kolb

This is an older Double tree that is in need of a renovation The spa rooms have had the bathrooms updated some what with a shower with a nice sliding glass door and shower head, but the rooms are a little on the small side and the beds are very soft They have a nice air purifier in the spa rooms as well

But found the room to be very warm, even though the temp was set to 70 degsThe bar area is easy to get to and the restaurant is not bad The workout room is very nice for a hotel and they have a large pool out back but the pool for some reason is not the invitingWould I stay here again, yes, but I would prefer the Hampton Inn and suites if you are a Hilton member as it is near by and rooms are a little nicer and the pool is a lot more inviting as well

Michael Krieger

I stay with Hilton Property hotels often This hotel was convenient for business needs and had many food options available nearby Breakfast seemed expensive, my room only had 2 clothes hangers, no mini fridge, and no water bottles offered at check-in (I have member status)

Overall a nice stay and they were gracious enough to extend checkout time by 1 HR so that I could work in my room up until the time that I needed to go to the airport

Emily Hathcock

When I first arrived I had high hopes for this hotel I checked reviews, it was in a good location ( close to the school and plenty to eat and shop around the area) and the lobby was very nice However, for the price, the room had no microwave or a mini fridge

It had an old small coffee maker only A little disappointed as I had some small snacks I would have liked to have refrigerated The A/C was loud and the room had a musty smell I could live with that – but the shower wall had long black hair all over it and in the morning I woke up to a roach scurrying across the room ! The blow dryer was encrusted with fingerprints and someone’s hair product I couldn’t even use it The roach and dirty bathroom is what really made this stay ruined – also didn’t offer continental breakfast, and without a way to store your own food in the room it seemed a little much

Devin Klee

Stayed here for a month in a couple different rooms Great for travel as it is not too expensive and has a kitchenette and massive desk with TV Pretty comfortable

Staff was helpful but not always at the front desk when needed My room was double booked and someone came in while I was in there but the front desk apologized for it My first room had a couple small nails sticking up from the carpet near the lip, and the second room had quite a bit of mold on the ceiling above the shower Definitely needs some updates but overall it’s a good place to stay if you get a clean room Pretty good location Within walking distance to Top Golf and has a decent sized pool

Jennifer Jones

If I could leave no stars I would First of two minutes after checking in, no luggage carts to be found What do they have one?? Five minutes after checking in, I opened a closet in my room to find a roach crawling out that I had to squash with my shoe

Thatleft me with a sick feeling The place had an odor upon entering My room was dirty I have pics that I took This place is more of an extended stay than a hotel I do not recommend staying here The staff was friendly but I need more than that Cleanliness and bug free are a must

Bethany Hair

I read all the reviews before booking, but was unpleasantly surprised during my stay First the positives: the staff They’re amazing

They were always so friendly whenever I needed anything or if I saw them in the hallway The gym was actually decent too They have a cable pull machine, free weights, a bike, elliptical, and treadmill I spent almost an hour in there every morning by myself It was great I appreciated the location of the hotel as well Very accessible to anything you neededNow the negatives: THE SMELL The 3rd floor reeked of I-don’t-know-what One day I came in and could tell they tried to spray something to cover up the odor, but it was right back the next day The odor was so bad throughout the hotel that my clothes faintly smelled like itThe third floor also had giant stains on the carpet as soon as you exited the elevator Also – the hotel is extremely musty/outdated “Touch-up paint” was all over our room and bathroom and it was definitely obvious There was a random long black hair folded up in my towel, and there was a thick layer of mildew on the bath tub drain that I ended up cleaning myselfOverall it was not pleasant to stay here for 4 nights I could see if you just needed a quick over-night stay on a road trip – but definitely not worthy of a multiple-night stay

Decent hotel, but it is showing its age The wall paper in the hallways, even by the elevators on the first floor is coming off My run was fine, but again, it is showing age

The shower surround was crackedIt was a comfortable and decent stay, but the details of maintenance are lackingI unfortunately did not get to try the continental breakfast since we had a fire alarm, but that’s not the hotel’s faultOverall a comfortable stay that was having on maintenance

Jen Perkins

I am beyond irate! You get zero privacy at this hotel I was just down in the lobby at 10:20 Am and purchased Emergency Vitamin C and Aspirin as I’m not feeling well at all, and also have high blood pressure I also elected to stay an additional night this morning

The checkout here is 12pm, but at 10:30 AM the housekeeping lady knocked twice and within 3 seconds walked in as I was exasperating and yelling, ” I’m in here!” I called down to the front desk and she said she would take care if it I explained to her I could’ve been undressed or engaged in an intimate situation, totally unacceptable Then, believe it or not, at 12:09, even worse, 2 housekeepers open my door without knocking or acknowledging their presence I have lost it at this point, called down to front desk, yelling She comes up and the housekeeper tried to say they didn’t do that Unbelievable! And, now I’ve gone from feeling bad to horrible, my blood pressure is out the roof, I will not be comfortable the rest of my stay The first thing I would have done to remotely help curb the situation would be to offer a discounted rate, and at this point the whole night should’ve been comped I’ve never been so unimpressed They are very lucky, had I been unclothed either of those times, there could have been a potential civil case other hands Stay somewhere else!

Latosha Jackson

I have to say the staff here is awesome!!!! One in particular stood out from all the rest, Imran was very helpful and welcoming, I have never made a reservation and had a staff member go above and beyond to accommodate like this my daughter was traveling with her coach and I was so concerned about room placement he kept me updated about the reservation and most important my daughter said when she got there he greeted her by name , that made her feel comfortable due to it was her first time traveling without me she said it felt like homeThank you so much!!!❤ memorable moments ✨️

Jay the front desk clerk and Norris the helper,were the kindest, most knowledgeable, helpful gentlemen we’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting as hotel employees! They made us feel more like family than hotel guests 🙂 We had missed our flight and the hotel was convenient to the Sanford Airport Very clean and comfortable, nice clean pool And the hot & cold breakfast was another great plus for a great stay! The next mornings desk clerk

well, we had to get to the airport, and didn’t have time to keep waiting for her to come back to the front desk, so I just laid the room keys over the desk and left But other than that, we’d give it a 💯👍

Carli Clark

We didn’t plan our post cruise plans very well but Jay at the front desk was more than accommodating and helped us with an early check in m, plus a coupon for a free appetizer at a local restaurant The room was very clean and comfortable The entire staff worked hard to keep every bit of the hotel clean

They even helped us with a later check out time when our out going flight wasn’t until 5 and had a free airport shuttle to top it off In a time of increasingly lacking customer service This Comfort Inn and Suites delivered!

Kailey Stabile

I hosted my rehearsal dinner and a meet and greet event for out-of-town wedding guests on the Garden Patio at the Hilton Garden Inn in Lake Mary I am so thankful for Michelle’s help in coordinating the event, she created a floor plan for the evening and helped me pick the food and beverage packages to suit our needs We ordered the Italian buffet for dinner and the food was phenomenal! The chicken parmesan and tortellini were especially delicious as were the chocolate cake and cheesecake!We used Hilton Garden Inn Lake Mary for one of our room blocks as well

They were able to reserve a courtesy block of rooms for our wedding guests until a month before the wedding They were flexible with guests who needed to check in earlier than our room block or extend their stay past the room block dates (we didn’t have as much flexibility at the other hotel where we had a room block) Another perk was the free shuttle for guests from the hotel to the Lake Mary Events Center where we held our wedding We appreciated this service, although the shuttle was running a little behind Just make sure to schedule shuttle service for a little earlier to account for traffic etc and it should be fine We also stayed at this hotel after our wedding Our king room was spacious and the hotel treated us to chocolate covered strawberries and champagne in our room on the wedding night!

Matthew Barker

We had a great stay, great pool with plenty of seating and loved they hard board games for the kids to play My only negatives were some of the staff was not friendly at times with a bit of attitude when asked questions and the only other thing was the breakfast set up I felt that there should javelin been more food but also just get the order right

One time I can understand but 2 days in a row it is a training problem Still recommend staying when at a PG event, only 17 min from field with no tolls

Colin Bosler

Stayed here one night after my flight from SFB was canceled The staff were friendly and helpful, and the room was great! Laundry facilities were solid, breakfast was tasty and the pool seemed nice (didn’t have time to try it but others seemed to be enjoying themselves) Shower pressure and temperature were on point as well

I would definitely stay here again

I love the porch! I love the cats! I love the energy! They are charging way too much now $275 for 2 nights with a SCREAMING portable AC unit that gave both of us headaches and uneven sleep I love the no TV but a small fridge would be great! It’s bare minimum

Cleaning crew are great but running the vacuum through the hall at 9am was just bad Always great interactions with staff1st stay, LOVED it2nd stay, crooked bed and an RV style shower/toilet3rd and last stay, the AC unit and stiff springy bed made it really uncomfortable

Lucy Morningstar

Paid $210 per night for two nights since the only room available was the “king suite,” not that that was a problem; however when we got into our room we found five cockroaches, (four of them dead) The hot water does not work, the floor boards were loose and kept popping up, the food in the restaurant in the main lobby was horrendous, tasted like a teenager cooked hamburger helper (it was a $33 dish of what was supposed to be Lobster Ravioli) I was so hyped To go to the town because many people I know had rave reviews about it, but it was honestly one of the worst hotel experiences I’ve ever had

Shadow work and being present to experience life 10/10 Are you in auto pilot or can you actually tell of your experiences Are you open to the universe or are you closed off with blockages? MIA is like a warm hug from a friend that pushes you to be your best self The truth isn’t always cute, rainbows, and sunshines but that does not mean it won’t enrich your life If you can’t take the heat then get out of the kitchen Thank you so much MIA My life and the lives of everyone that has a privilege to meet and speak with you is enhanced ten fold Till next time! ❤️

The staff are accommodating and politeThe room is spacious, comfy beds, huge shampoo/con/body wash pumps in the shower, mini fridge, coffeemaker, and a microwave and cappuccino machine are by the front deskBeautiful views, nice pool and jacuzzi, huge gym, outdoor couches, and a shaded walking trail just steps away! Plenty of restaurants and a Publix across the street

Shula’s was okay Slow service but food was good Nice patioWe will definitely come here again!

Nice hotel Clean rooms I am sensitive to light at night so I had to put a towel down to block the massive amounts from the hallway

No cover on the peephole, so that was bright as well Room darkening curtains did a good job There was one robe for my husband and I in the large bathroom They provided a small bottle of shampoo and conditioner, but one bar of soap for both hands and body Towels were fluffy and absorbent Did not make use of ironing board, iron or safe, but they had them Coffee maker uses round filter discs exclusive to the hotel The refrigerator kept food cool and did not freeze anything Adequate for a night Across a busy 4 lane divided road to many restaurants and a movie theater Front desk staff was friendly and accommodating Did not try the Shula’s restaurant located in the hotel

I had to travel with my dog So grateful for a pet friendly hotel Dog-friendly rooms have laminate flooring which is super helpful

Staff has been really helpful and kind The restaurant on site (Shula’s) is expensive but good The 3 issues I had is, due to covid there is limited room cleaning, the convenience store is very limited, and parking (although is plentiful) it’s a bit of trek Rooms are clean, quiet, and well organized Not the hotels fault but I4 was under construction and there was a long detour

Really nice almost new hotel Beautiful decor throughout The bed was very comfortable and the room had all the amenities

Numerous plug in and USB charging ports everywhere The staff at check in/out were extremely nice and had great smiles The breakfast was normal with self made waffles, pancakes, eggs, sausage, oatmeal etc My only complaint, minor, was consistent throughout the hotel industry They have packets of condiments such as jelly, hot sauce, peanut butter etc but never carry mustard for sausage or mayonnaise for different sandwiches such as egg & bacon/ham For a few cents they can make certain people happy and create new breakfast combos out of existing food on the buffet No points deducted as this is trivial

I would say when it came to booking this hotel I made the mistake of not realizing that it is not anywhere near the tourist areas and I had to drive quite a ways to get to the theme parks from here The hotel was a nice place it had very friendly staff, a very good free breakfast and free parking which is a win for me because I don’t believe in fees for parking My complaints for this place is 1

No daily housekeeping which I think is ridiculous 2 The dryer was running for an hour and my clothes were still wet 3 The elevator was slow and one day it was out of service completely 4 Breakfast service ends way too early on Mondays-Fridays like I am not a morning person and if I got nowhere to be I find it annoying to have to hustle down to the lobby before 9am to get my breakfast it would be nice if they had the service end at like 9:30 or 10 the entire week because that seems more reasonable Other than those 4 issues I had a good stay at this hotel, fair price got all the amenities I needed I saw they recently renovated this hotel so that is very nice to see

4th time staying here and still outstanding, fair pricing, clean rooms and appliances, bathroom was very clean and fully stocked As of 02/18/2022 the hotel still is not offering daily housekeeping service, but anything needed is just a phone call to the front desk away Large Breakfast buffet served daily, hotel pool is well maintained and complimented with nice landscaping

Will definitely be back next year!

Worst hotel I ever stayed in at this price point As soon as we got in our room we noticed that the sink in the bathroom was broken This was followed by a TV that did not work

We then tried to call the front desk but the phone just rang and rang no one answered We found a roach in the room the pool was dirty and equipment was rusted out The windows were filthy The ice machine on our floor did not work The rooms were run down Definitely skip this hotel and spend your money on something of better quality

Great staff! They were super friendly and accommodating! Rooms were spacious and clean Breakfast was included The same selections were offered all 6 days we were there, but there was plenty of variety with both hot and cold options

The dining area was restocked appropriately and kept very clean There was also a Starbucks on site with other paid options available

Robyn Snapper

One of my worst hotel experiences ever My room was dirty to the point my socks stuck to the floor No bath towels light fixtures broken, scalding hot water unbearable to shower

Arrived very late purchased food asked for a receipt I paid cash The young girl told me she couldn’t print out a receipt, I went back down! Next morning still could not get a receipt, asked about the scalding hot water, I took ownership of them not having hot water They did offer to move me rooms but I didn’t have the energy to clean another room I did not want a refund I did not want anything free All I wanted was a receipt for the food I paid for Manager told me I would have it under my door by 6 PM Still was not there was told I would have an email by 8:30 PM still did not get my receipt Keep in mind everything wrong with my room I wanted zero compensation I finally called corporate supposedly I’ll have the receipt tomorrow It shouldn’t take 36 hours and ask 20 times for a receipt Especially when I cleaned the room unable to shower, flickering lights, I had to go down and get towels I understand things happen All I wanted was a receipt!!!! If they were unable to get me the receipt the least they could’ve done was call me It’s sad because I didn’t want anything for my inconvenience I just wanted a receipt for what I paid for!!

Our room had no working outlets to plug into The toilet leaked on the floor which was duper sticky from other leaks The glass shower door made a huge loud sound when trying to close or open it

When talked to the asst manager about the issues no remorse was given and no refund was given even when we left the motel the night of check in at 11:30 pm Horrible stay Will not be back Wanted to alert you,

Dalisa Morriss

I stay here a lot and I am shocked to see the hotel allowing what’s happening here right now People having a BBQ well a party in the parking lot Taking all the parking spots and kids running around the parking lot

Nobody is doing anything to stop it either The noise is so loud and they getting drunk and cooking in the grill like they are in a park I’m at a loss for words Never again cause the screaming I can hear it all the way in my room

Paul Kavuma

Oh where can I start Good location, customer service good, good breakfast The building is the worst we have ever stayed

Nonstop water leaking which was causing the mold smell in the room we stayed We moved 3 times in the nightoOne of the room were staying had a leak We were sitting in the room chilling and suddenly we heard the water gushing out under the bathroom sink, and to make matters worse, the water was hot, thank God the house keepers were still on the same floor cleaning some rooms We called them loudly and they came, one of the lady house keeper got on her knees under the sink and shut the water off They helped us to move to another room This room we moved into was smelling like mold mildew all night Our second room my kids were watching TV, then started to hear water dripping on the floor in the bathroom They called me, I went in, put the trash can in the area, and it continued dripping We called front office They moved the kids to another room And that one was ok until morning we were about to check out the kids told us tha the bathroom When they flashed the toilet the water was brown When we asked the front desk as we checked out they were saying that the city was running some repairs Please be careful in this hotel Not good It’s need immediate attention to the plumbing issue
