Kim Green

Our room was clean and the linens were soft The air conditioning kicked! No musty smellsThe pool was clean and refreshing on a 90+ degree day

Plenty of pool towels and a receptacle were available for swimmers and sun bathersThe front desk folks and housekeepers were competent and friendlyBreakfast was okay—standard fareNo little league kid teams were there, which made the stay much less hectic and quieterThis is our go-to Hilton hotel whenever we’re visiting family in the Lake Mary/Sanford areas—usually 3-4 times per yearLots of eateries within a short drive/walk are available

Spencer Wilson

Great location Excellent staff Room modern and good

Pool door was close and a little loud but only for a bit Opportunity area: Had to stop by front desk to get a key card as digital key with app worked about 25% of time on both side and room doors and shower water wouldn’t get above luke temperature Overall though good hotel Would stay again

vanessa perez

STAY AWAY!! Do not waste your money here We are Hilton Honors and loyal members for a long time This by far has being the worst Hampton stayed ever

We requested early check in and were told there was rooms at arrival time The rooms are old, dirty and uncomfortable beds We probably got 3 hours of sleep The noise was unreal and barely provided necessities on the room The front staff were never available when you need them We will never stay here again

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!

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

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

Lisa Gunter

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

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!

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

Very nice hotel our room was very clean and all the staff members were super helpfulMartha took care of us with every request and even checked in on us on the phone to ensure we were enjoying our stay Breakfast was good although not free it was worth it Will bring my family here again when visiting Orlando

Tom Warfield

This is officially the last Courtyard I’ll stay at I’m not sure what this brand is trying to do, but they offer very little amenities ( I couldn’t get hot water or tea bags half the days of the week I stayed here), no housekeeping the entire week, their restaurant wasn’t open This is not the only Courtyard I’ve left wondering why I didn’t stay somewhere else

The room was clean and dark, so it wasn’t all bad

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 ✨️

Selepri Amachree

Love the “comfort” factor in this place!! My favorite hotel was booked and I needed a reservation for work Homewood Suites popped into my search for the area and they had vacancy within the time parameters I needed I was kinda forced into booking here

BUT I’M NOT DISAPPOINTED! that’s the pleasant surprise that, so far, has turned into a pleasant experience ❤️ By the way, this place offers a cool soup, salad, and beer/wine social event every night around 5pm!!!👊😎👌

Anna-Marie Mitchell

This time around I was here for 5 weeks Furniture is getting worn down Bed is the old coil style

Weekday housekeeping crew did ok The weekend crew did great! They would wash my dishes (1 -2 items) Also scolded lap blanket and put awayThe breakfast crew is not professional Standing out in the breakfast area talking on cell phones oblivious to guests around Guest had to walk around her (This happened several days) Food not being ready on time, and supplies not stockedThe only other issue – ants in bathroom and bathroom sink area They treated 4 times first 2 weeks with no improvement Friends staying in other rooms with the same issueWould I stay here again yes, close to work and only place in area with kitchens

We stayed just over 3 weeks while in transition The location is phenomenal The hotel overall is very clean and has a newish feel

The rooms are modern, clean and quiet The GM was great, very friendly One detail I wanted to point out as well is that the staff in charge of removing trash bags as well as towels from the hallways always did so at lightning speed! They really kept the hotel and parking lot looking spotless I travel a ton and always stay at Hilton properties but this hotel was superior I think I may switch over to the Marriott brand

Shannon Eustace

Extremely clean building, landscape/pool and rooms!!The hospitality in this hotel has been nothing short of “service excellence” After months of traveling from hotel to hotel trying to find the “right fit” for our needs

(while in process of finding an apartment), we have finally found it 😀 !The staff members are very professionalism, respectful and beyond helpful A special thanks to front desk staff Kathryn Gankos Extremely informative, pleasant and made me personally feel welcomed A great refreshing reminder that there are still employees that treat their guests not only as guests but humans as wellIt is extremely difficult to find such a hotel as this with the demands my Lupus comes along with Thank you to this particular Marriott Residence Inn at Lake Mary FL and also to the Marriott Corporation as well!

Pleasant STAFF made this hotel extra special! Nice pillow assortment, bed comfortable but squeaks on movement from bed frame rubbing Room darkening shades Nice layout, comfortable size room, had king size bed

Pool is out door with lounge chairs and a cabana corner Shuttle took me to shop in the town Large open outsourced restaurant and bar across from lobby also has outdoor seating Some nights live entertainment Food tasty Watch you bar bill They need to train bartenders as to standard prices of drinks Order the same drink on different days and it was priced $7, $8 and $9 for the same size, same drink I brought to their attention and they credited back difference Enjoyed seeing the wildlife outside the hotel Definitely would stay again if in area

What a beautiful hotel to stay in I spent just one night there for a friend’s wedding that was being held right on the premises and it is an absolutely beautiful place The staff was friendly, the rooms were huge, and the wedding was amazing

The breakfast was delicious before heading back home The customer service of the kitchen staff was fantastic I will definitely be back the next time I’m in the area

Never again! Took shower first night smelled sulphur coming from shower water We could smell the same thing brushing teeth My hair looked dirty all day and had heaviness to it

Came back to room second day and room was not cleaned We were told have to request it So we requested for it to be cleaned for the next day The sink underneath was filthy when we checked in and after the room was cleaned, it still was! Raised toilet lid it was filthy when we got here filthy after cleaning! This is a Hilton and it should never have bad water or nasty bathrooms!Need to stay in area 2 more nights and will do so else where

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

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!!

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!

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

John Lesko

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!

Abdul Ishaq

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
