My husband and I stayed at this location for over a week and we really it and enjoyed our stay I have to mention Tess, Manager and Isabella for their great smiles every morning whether it was 6am or 10am, they greeted you with big beautiful smiles and were very attentive to your needs Great job, Ms

Tess and thank you for everything to you and your entire staff-Mr and Mrs Lamb

Room had roaches They moved us to another room that wasn’t sure if was safe to stay in because of poison, confirmed they fumigated day before Requested housekeeping during my stay, they didn’t show up

Annoying your room cards don’t work for gym, have to request it every time you want to use it Too many people to use the pool & dirty Not ideal for families, had construction workers smoking & drinking all day watching the guests swim Breakfast had turkey sausage everyday- don’t eat turkey- what happened to bacon? Limited options Rooms are paper thin Can hear everything in the hallway, people talking, other rooms, even when the elevator dings Constantly wakes you up I won’t be staying here again

Breakfast included was pretty complete except that was missing fruits Not even bananas were offered, forget about apples Being in FL one would think fruit would be readily available

Recommend to replace Cinnabon for apples and bananas if looking at cutting the budgetThe website says laundry included but with out luck it wasn’t functioning!! We had to find an outside laundry, very inconvenient! Took a star off from service but staff were nice and knowledgeable

Luisa Belletti

Throughly enjoyed the hotel they give you a decent breakfast daily and on Wednesday night they offer snacks and light appetizers along with beer wine and water complimentary I thought that was very generous The hotel is clean the rooms are nice and the people that work there are nice as well

The one comment I will say is that if you close the bedroom door for privacy there is not a large vent to cool the living room kitchen area where I had 2 people sleeping so we had to leave the bedroom door open for it to be cool

Our stay with the whole family in this hotel was excellentGreat choices of breakfast, they had an excellent way of treating their guest by providing dinner with the wine, beer, and foods (vegetable salad, cheeses, nachoritos, soup)Staff are friendly, and the managerTheir rooms are great it is clean, big

Highly recommended to stay 👏👏👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻I will rate them more than 10🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I spent 2 weeks here and enjoyed my time Rooms are a little worn out but perfectly acceptable I appreciated the fan on the AC could be set to run continuously, since it was a great way to drown out the noise outside

My first 2 nights, I ended up between a family with 2 rooms who didn’t arrive until 1130pm and were going back and forth between rooms nonstop, yelling and slamming doors The second night I called the front desk to complain shortly after midnight, and they did send someone to ask them to quiet down There did seem to be a ton of families staying hereThe pool was excellent- VERY warm water and relaxing My only complaint is you had to ask for a pool towel at the front desk every single time Sometimes that took forever when there was people checking inBreakfast was great- plenty of options, which rotated so it wasn’t the same thing every day The ladies working the breakfast did an excellent job of keeping everything full Coffee was good and hotThe fitness center was a little weak They have 2 treadmills, an elptical, a bike, and a set of dumbbells Very little room to do anything else If the weather is cool enough, you can run the large block the hotel is on and it’s about 2 1/2 miles All sidewalks, and no intersections to crossThe front desk staff were very friendly and the location is close to tons of restaurants, and very close to UCF It’s the about 25 minutes from the airport

This Inn was very cozy and clean The entrance is kind of tucked away if you’re coming from Lake Eola next door We were greeted with smiles and the lobby smelled so clean

Coffee and infused water available right there Our room was a single queen with a balcony Room was a little small, but none the less comfortable Bed is nice and soft Bathroom was clean and the walk in shower was spacious Balcony is shared, separated by white curtains The view outside wasn’t amazing, but for just sitting outside enjoying the weather it’s nice My only complaint was that our TV wasn’t workingThere is an open balcony in the main hallway in the 2nd floor with comfy chairs Nice area to just catch some sun and relax At night they have soft lights around the areaOverall it’s a nice stay and would recommend itAlso sits above a bar!

Garret Stewart

Probably one of my favorite hotels I’ve ever stayed in Super clean Staff was really friendly

We had the King balcony room it was very spacious and the bathroom was to die for 😍 The bathtub was HUGE! Also in a great location right next to a beautiful park and in walking distance to a ton of good food Next time I’m in Orlando I’ll definitely be staying here

Erika Villaruel

Loving this quaint downtown hotel It certainly is esthetically pleasingKeisha ensured that we had a wonderful experience at Eo Inn

She was extremely accommodating Keisha really exceeded our expectations and went above and beyond during our stay I’ve stayed at the Eo Inn many times but this time around Keisha made it an unforgettable stay with her professionalism and customer service We appreciate you! See you again very soon Eo Inn!

This place is beautiful The two bedroom, two bath, living room and kitchen were nice, clean & sanitized Although there’s a disconnected fireplace in the living room, it still brings a relaxing ambience to the place

The kitchen has a full sized refrigerator The cabinets have plates, pots & pans included Kitchen also has a dishwasher The breakfast is wonderful There’s hot food: Belgian waffles, sausage egg & cheese bagels, egg/spinach quiches, muffins, coffee, apple juice, orange juice, etc

Taka Teton

It’s OK, I don’t mind to give all 5 stars to this lovely accommodation Because at 930am , breakfast time was over I already done but some guest come to have breakfast and they already done and everything was clean

But lady from kitchen give him some coffee and some sandwiches to him Not too much but this is great service Rooms are clean and no smell because I move from one bed room to two bed room I can’t look everything to review for this property but I only can review something comes up with me You can ask free water bottles like 2 per day Not alots but they show their hospitality to their guests Good job Thanks

Kenton Thompson

I know that sometimes Residence Inns get a bad rap for being older and a little run down, but this is one of the best I’ve stayed at It’s clean, well maintained and quite We’ve been here for a week now and it’s been a pleasant experience

The furniture should certainly be updated, but the beds are comfortable and the appliances in the kitchen are updated I would certainly stay here again

Mackenzie Sturman

Pros: The people/staff were very kind and helpful, and the hotel was very clean and only 5 min drive from the airport Shuttle from the airport to the hotel at 10pm was efficient and the driver was very friendly!Cons: We were just looking for a convenient spot to spend the night for an overnight layover, and had called to confirm that the shuttle ran all night When we arrived, we were told the shuttle did not run all night, and 4am-6am shuttles were booked/not available

We were on the 4th floor which smelled very bad in the hallway – hopefully a temporary thing – but the room was honestly very nice and very clean However, for $180 with taxes and fees would not recommend for a quick stay

Scott LaGraize

Make sure to use ʜoᴛᴇʟʙᴏʟʟʏᴄᴏm when booking a stay This web site will compare countless booking websites and usually will have prices much cheaper compared to others! Thank me later on! This hotel is one of the best in this area

I’ve been staying here for years If you choose this place you will love it I’m sure!This hotel is super close to the Orlando International Airport, but I didn’t hear any airplanes flying overhead which is very much appreciated Rooms are nicely decorated and beds are comfortable Also has microwave, coffee maker and small fridge It comes with free breakfast with many breakfast doors to choose from, including the option to make your own delicious waffles I highly recommend this hotel!

Lisa Alicea

We checked in last night around 9p and the front desk guy was amazing We have had a rough time with our travels and accommodations recently so having him try his best to explain and help my family out meant everything to me I only wish I caught his name

Thank you, your patience and kindness will not be forgotten Please be mindful the free shuttle runs from 430a to 1a so if you have an early flight you will need other transportation

Beach Girl

Came here after the venue for our event was switched last minute I was a little confused about where to park before I checked in I ended up parking at the mall and walking over

I got checked in quickly at the 4:00 check-in time My room was very comfortable and cool I thought the bedding was of good quality The days I was there were long and when I did get back to the room the room was cleaned and immaculate I think the most impressive quality I found was how quiet it was throughout each night I didn’t hear any doors slamming or loud elevators I probably got the best sleep ever in a hotel hereThe fact the mall is right there is convenient to grab a quick bite or a coffee I think this hotel is a better choice than the original one , glad it worked out this way !

Cameron Rothfuss

Friendly staff in all areas of the hotel! Clean and simple rooms for a great stay! If you are in the Orlando area and need less of a resort and more of a hospitable business focused hotel then come to the Florida Hotel! Attached to the mall to keep busy or helpful for grabbing something you may have forgot on your trip Food could have been prepared with a little more attention to quality rather than speed, but they were very busy when I visited so it didn’t bother me too much Great prices and service overall!

Marvin Janzen

Excellent reception when arrived and throughout our stay Restaurants were excellentBiggest disappointment was the room cleaning

it was non existing over 3 days Had to call the front desk just to get fresh towels and a few more coffee pods Beds were never made once When I checked out the older couple beside me said the exact same thing Cleaning staff definitely needs improving Otherwise it’s a very nice hotel with perfect location Walking distance to pretty much anything you need Located between the airport and Disney so driving doesn’t cost too much

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

One of the best hotels I have ever been to! I loved everything about this place The staff were friendly, greeted everyone and held open doors constantly The lobby was clean and very pretty

Our room overlooked the pool area, which was my favorite part Beautiful palm trees surround the pool with plenty of chairs to relax on There are also some couches and chairs outside where you can relax with a drink if you don’t want to be near the pool If I ever come back to Orlando, I would never stay anywhere except The Celeste

Chris Jantsch

Excellent property, despite the confusing brand Two year old hotel easily ranks with Marriott, Sheraton, or Renaissance brands Clean, quiet rooms, outstanding housekeeping and engineering

Friendly, efficient front desk Hannah and Ireland in the Aurora restaurant, and Joel at the bar are outstanding Especially Joel Valets are friendly and attentive, have the hardest jobs as they’re outside all day Stayed here two weeks for business but enjoyed the clean, well-maintained salt-water pool whenever I could I’ll try to reserve here whenever I return to Orlando for work or pleasure

Stephanie Lopez-Shelton

We are enjoying staying here for graduation Pretty hotel Love the light up Space Shuttle wall mural

Weight room and pool are nice The Aurora restaurant was a lifesaver for us last night after checking in Everything was delicious Our waitress was really nice Front desk staff was welcoming The valet staff were really good and nice I felt bad for them with all the action out there in the heat but they were nice and smiling the whole time Our car was up before we came out every time Rooms are nice with very comfortable beds Definitely recommend this hotel!

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

We stayed there for a week with about 30 members in our group and breakfast was essentially non existent during the entire stay even though the person behind the desk would say it would be availableThere were no luggage carts to bring luggage and supplies in from the charter bus There was no courtesy water available from the dispenser AR the desk on the last day

My room did have trash left in it on the floor from previous occupancy We husband and I stay at Marriotts and Hiltons but this Marriott is not a consideration at this moment for future stays

Teresa Avila

Disgusted the whole time,There was hair and makeup on my sheets, the front desk brought me new sheets but was disgusted the rest of the trip There were also these tiny bugs everywhere, night stand, bathroom, desk, and couchAlso the breakfast & coffee were terrible, they had sausage biscuits one morning in the hotplate

They were literally coldIt will not let me upload the video of the big but I took a picture of the video

This is where we stay whenever we are visiting UCF The hotel is close to campus as well as a lot of restaurants Everyone on staff is very helpful

We needed to extend our stay, and Gabe assisted us in doing so We had a very noisy person next door, and the front desk staff was able to help even at 3AM The complimentary hot breakfast is nice and we enjoyed having coffee, tea, and water available by the front desk all day long They’ve also added a hot food vending machine which was helpful to satisfy a chocolate craving at 1AM We were able to relax by the pool and we loved having 24 hour access to a fitness room Always an enjoyable stay!

Tom M

Great location near UCF and Orlando area attractions Nice and quiet Appears recently updated and remodeled tastefully

Spacious well appointed rooms Full hot breakfast included eggs, sausage and waffle maker, along with cold items like yogurt, toast and fruits there’s an area by the pool with picnic tables My only complaint would be that the pool was poorly maintained – it was so green I wouldn’t even put my foot in! Also had leaves and debris on the bottom We ate outside and I noticed several people came out to use the pool and left without going in

Avery Carlson

Its a two star hotel for many reasons One of them being the door handle that would come off whenever we tried to use it or the same door that constantly was getting stuck It has nice renovations that despite the efforts don’t hide the aging of the building

It is a good enough hotel and you can’t beat the price We totally enjoyed our stay but if you want something nice maybe look at other options The pictures on the website are misleading and definitely use that real estate photography magic The hotel was good enough but if you want great look somewhere else

Kimberly Devine-Brink

To begin, this is a lovely, functional hotel for either a short or long-term stay It’s truly a hidden gem at a reasonable price point I love the functional wall in the Home2 Suites

The kitchen is fully equipped, including 3/4 fridge with large freezer, dishwasher, garbage disposal and microwave, as well as plates, bowls, glasses and cutlery At this Home2 Suites, the rooms seem to maximize storage in unexpected, creative ways In the queen suite there are 2 desk surfaces, a rolling dining table, nesting side tables and nearly endless storageWhat makes this hotel truly special, in my experience, is the staff The young lady working the front last night went out of her way for us twice, quickly and with a smile I wish I had gotten her name! This morning, at 3:40am, my mom was getting ready to grab her early flight, and I asked the young lady working if there was a way to get something for her to eat Again, I was facing someone who was attentive, friendly, thoughtful and happy She ran around the back grabbing fruit and water I figure anybody in the service industry who is able to maintain that kind of attitude at 3:40 in the morning is destined for sainthood Her name was Genesis Both women embodied a level of customer service that should be the goal of every person in customer service, and you cannot maintain that without having a good employer Truly, it makes this hotel special

Jekerri Tucker

This hotel is AMAZING!!! Me & my Husband went to stay here on our honeymoon because we just recently married This hotel welcomed us with opened arms They even gave us a small gift as well

They greeted us every morning & breakfast was fantastic!!! The hotel was always cleaned when we came in from adventuring They are also were very helpful when we didn’t know how to work the shades in the room We will definitely be staying here again when we come back to Orlando If you want a nice breakfast, clean rooms, and a welcoming staff I would definitely recommend this place! Thanks you guys for a wonderful stay, until next time

Angel Felix

I have been staying in Marriotts all my life and this was my first experience staying at a HiltonLet me tell you, IT WAS AWESOME!!!This place has everything you normally would have at Home like a fridge, microwave, etcThe best part for me was the nice clean BED! I’ve never slept so good! I couldn’t wake up in the morning

I don’t know if it was the comforters or the mattress, but I got a well needed rest

but by the time I got to this room, wowprobably one of the most comfortable beds I’ve slept in Even the next day, my son and I were blown away at how good the sheets felt and how neither of us wanted to get out of these beds Front desk was very friendly when I showed up I booked two rooms and they got my other rooms guests booked and into their rooms hours before I showed up even though I forgot to call ahead and say I wouldn’t be with them checking in Made the process easy Breakfast was standard hotel breakfastnothing to write home about, but good enough to start a road trip on Rooms decor was really nice here I don’t have anything negative to say about that The room I picked was just a standard with two queens, but was on the small side with a pretty poor excuse for a window So based on thatthe price was a little steep But not being familiar with the area probably on par with others Only thing that dropped me from 5 stars was cost and size of room for that cost There are plenty of places to eat right around the corner too

This is a great hotel We were able to rent a suite room for the price of single rooms at other nearby hotels The room was clean and relatively modern

It had a separate living/kitchen area, and a separate bedroom with 2 queen beds The staff was friendly, the bathroom clean, the water hot The continental breakfast was great There are vending machines on each floor Overall, we were pleasantly surprised at how nice this hotel was Would recommend

The room is fine and clean, but certain rooms share a door with another room and there is absolutely NO soundproofing between those rooms You can literally see through the large gap at the bottom (photo attached) I asked the front desk to switch rooms because I could clearly hear every word spoken by my room neighbors (they were speaking at a normal volume and weren’t even yelling), and I was told that every single room in this hotel has a door with another room

I know this can’t be true and it is confirmed by the other attached photo, so I’m unsure why I was told this Only four rooms per floor have a connecting door to another room Unfortunately, I was moved to one of the only other rooms with an adjoining door! Fortunately, I don’t think anyone is currently staying in the connecting room, so I’m hoping that holds true for the rest of my trip I currently have a towel shoved under the gaping door hole as a precaution anyway

My dauthers and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay here It was by far, one of our best hotel experiences in Orlando From check-in, to surprising my girls with the delicious breakfast in the morning

Our room was so nice, and the beds delightfully comfortable Located so close to downtown, it gave us a taste of downtown living 10/10 would recommend, and we will definitely come back again

Old property with renovations and soft touches of contemporary decor It’s downtown inner city so with that being said comes homelessness and stranglers… doesn’t bother me but might bother you Location is immediately off I-4 for a bit of convenience

Valet or self parking($18) and has a shuttle service that takes you 3mi of the property Staff interaction was pleasant and informative My stay came with breakfast I was supposed to have a dbl Queen however the 3rd party sent it to the hotel as king room The front desk employee was able to make a reasonable adjustment and get me a room with a pull out sofa, Thanks front desk! The room was fresh but did have smudges on the wall, sofa cushions were worn and slouchy, the packaged cups placed with the ice bin had holes in the plastic and were torn 🤔 which made me question safety/cleanliness/sanitary but I’m just go pray about it and drink the alcohol hoping that kills whatever may have got in the cup

Room was nice but

negatives were coffee machine was broken, shower water temp was either scalding hot or cold no in-between, the lighting was terrible no light near door where only full length mirror is One of the lamps had an light bulb out that I pulled out so room service would know The mini fridge worked but the exterior so hot that i left cabinet door it was housed in open to try to cool it off Kept the drinks cold though The restaurant is NOT open for lunch even though advertised it is Positives was beds comfortable, rooms was clean and was cold

Work trip to Orlando Ended up being situated in this here room It was a fairly well maintained space

Nice sizable bed Had a couch for lounging, and a desk with a night light Even a microwave and mini fridge The location is great too, because everything is within walking distance so far as restaurants go There is even a pool, which I did not personally attend There is food served at the bar after 5 My only complaint is the room service was lacking The cleaning ladies didn’t clean up and replace the old towels They also left the trash in the bins Not the end of the world, but it isn’t asking much to do a complete job Otherwise, I would without a seconds hesitation spend another week straight here

So when I first arrived I initially had a problem The hotel was COMPLETELY full the weekend I went there was bus loads of people checking in The operation manager Adrianna was sure to reach out to me and completely take care of all the issues that I had

She was a saving grace! Good hotel Love the balconies Love the lemon scented products for shampoo and lotion Just extremely pleased with how this manager handled the situation after finding out what happened over the weekend

Shannon England

These hotel rooms are pretty gross The lobby has been updated nicely, but the rooms haven’t been TOUCHED in YEARS Looks like an old motel room inside

Not clean Our room had cobwebs, a tub that leaked all the way into the other room and smelled VERY musty Marie at the front desk was very sweet and moved is immediately after a flooding shower She was incredibly gracious and helpful BUT, this hotel needs a lot of work

Has to be some of the most competent and friendly staff I’ve seen in a while Other than the manager, he seemed to have a real attitude Not sure how his employees do such an excellent job under his leadership

Anyway, beautiful hotel Everything was clean and smelled nice You can tell it’s an older hotel with updates but still very nice The bartender Yvonne was extremely knowledgeable and friendly 9/10 would stay again

Eileen Donohue

I stayed one night and it was perfect I needed to get a meal for myself and three hungry soccer players and the kitchen and restaurant staff were very accommodating We placed the order right before the kitchen closed and they were very sweet about it

The food was excellent! I must say the staff were all friendly and helpful The room was spacious, clean and very comfortable I would definitely stay again

Amy Sullivan

Great location And the breakfast was pretty good My only complaints are regarding bedding

I expect any Marriott to have great sheets, great pillows and a comfy bed The bed was hard and not comfy The sheets felt starchy and not soft at all The pillows were cheap and flat I am used to bedding at the Hampton inn or embassy suites or doubletree This was definitely not a good sleeping experience!!!

We really appreciated Beverly, the inn keeper She was attentive to detail, makes an awesome breakfast and is a very interesting person to get to know Our room was spotless and we had everything we needed for an enjoyable weekend

The front porch overlooks the lake and we enjoyed our morning coffee here while we waited for breakfast The house has beautiful wood everywhere and feels very inviting Our daughter lives in Winter Park and we were only 16 minutes away from a lot of hustle and bustle but due to the surrounding acreage and it’s wildlife designation we felt like we were in the forest We highly recommend staying here and plan to go back Thank you Beverly

Elizabeth Tosh

We loved Thurston House! Beautiful, well kept historic home that was very comfortable Beverly is a wonderful accommodating host and the breakfast was fantastic The house is very charming, clean and comfortable

Close to lots of good food and convenient for area attractions as well We’ll be returning A very special place that is a wonderful option compared to chain hotels in the area

Marilda Nunes

We loved our staying in this beautiful and historic property, every corner has attention to details We need more days here to enjoy every room of the house The little delicious cookies at reception to classical music for breakfast is such nice touch

Beverly you are a wonderful caretaker and you keep this place with so much care and love Breakfast was amazing, next level, something not to be missed We will be back and we will recommend to stay here to anyone we know Thank you Bervely!
