If I were the owner of the Hilton brand, I would yank my name off this building I stayed 2 nights at 269/per night When I arrived, the valet situation was a cluster

It appeared to be a one-way drive PACKED with parked cars, I didn’t know what to do I had a lot of bags to unload and there was no luggage cart The valet explained that they were all taken and suggested that I stop the elevator on every floor to look for a cart that someone had ditched I made two trips to fourteenth floor to get everything inChecking in, I was the only guest at the front desk, and the tall man would not even acknowledge me He seemed super stressed out The lady offered to help me instead Turns out the tall guy is the manager Now this is all making senseOnce I got in the room, I realized the toilet was clogged, and the bed-side light was flickering like an insane asylum I called the front desk to ask for a room with a working toilet and lights, but they did nothing about it The young man who works late acted like he was so aggravated that I called the front desk to ask for a wake up call He was also rude when I asked if it was too late to get food from restaurantI called down to the valet at 615am to pull up my car and when I got down there, they had ignored my request, which me late for a work event I was away for 17 hours, and since I didn’t have time to hassle with room request, I decided to ignore the issues My room was untouched, nobody serviced it, cleaned it, no coffee Which forced me to buy a $5 black coffee downstairs at Starbucks because there was no other optionThe manager at the front desk should have been my first indication that this place is a circus Between the sloppy valet, unkempt rooms, and RUDE men working the front desk, This place needs new management

The room weren’t great The air conditioner ran constantly you couldn’t adjust the temperature so we had to turn it off so we didn’t freeze to death The room had a musty smell to it

There is a place to eat in the lobby but I wouldn’t call it a restaurant it was overpriced The location was convenient they don’t tell you on the booking sites you have to pay additional for parking

Sophia Vedell

This was one of the worse hotels I’ve ever stayed in in my whole entire life Parking was horrible one way in pretty much one way out Got in my room filthy had a washcloth that someone had used had lipstick or blood I don’t know which one went and talked to the housekeeper she said she didn’t speak English so she really couldn’t help me

Really foul smell carpet was dirty really need to be renovated Horrible experience never again!! Valet worker smell completely like he just came out of the room and was smoking weed !!

If I could give this hotel 10 stars I would The hotel was immaculate and the staff was professional and extremely pleasant Always willing to help out with any questions or needs we had

I’d like to give a special shoutout to Juliet and Clarissa who went overboard to make our stay one to never forget They were a wealth of information on where to go or where to eat Everyone always greeted you with a smile and a huge good morning or have a nice day I will definitely go back to this Extended Stay and recommend it very highly Thank you for making our visit a memorable one

Jules Black

Amazing customer service and clean rooms We started out at a lower priced hotel but soon learned it was horrible Only in town for a concert, we wanted a quick change

They were able to get us in and it was well worth the price We didn’t have have a pet but there were so many there and they took extra care to make them feel special Definitely coming back! Front desk was helpful and friendly Felt very safe Thank you!

Anna James

Room was meh Needed a good clean Bed and sheets were clean which is why i would even say 1 star opposed to 0

We just needed a room for the night so we could sleep However, the floor left our socks Greyish/black and crumbs were everywhere It needed mopped I had to wipe down the toilet and counters as it looked either not done or done poorly Amenities were fine, breakfast was kind of a joke It would have been a lot better if they would have put a little more effort into cleaningWe also got majorly price gouged when bad weather cancelled a lot of flights It was supposed to be $127 but then when tried to book they changed price and we payed $290 For almost 300, it was not worth it

Extremely disappointing We stayed there for 2 nights one of them being our wedding night This was 2 years in planning due to Covid

We had many family members and friends from out of town book the hotel as well Brought in more than 16 room nights for the property We worked this out with the property’s event coordinator The day before our wedding we checked in and the front desk agent was rude when we tried to check in early We had bumped into the GM, Kamal, later that day and expressed out excitement of our wedding day The next day, our wedding day, I talked to the lady at the front desk and mentioned that we’d be out of the room later that evening and if she would be so kind to set something nice up in our room while we were gone since it would be our wedding night She said she’ll see what she can do I also told her I would be more than happy to pay for whatever they added into the room I’ve worked into hotel for over 10 years both front desk and housekeeping leadership positions so I know this should be something they had planned since we had this plan for over 2 years We returned to the room later that night to nothing Our bed was made up and items ended up missing on our room including a wedding card that contained $200 as an early gift We didn’t notice it was gone until we got back home since a wedding consumes a lot of other thoughts in our minds When we wrote our review directly to the property the best response we got from the property was “ We do really apologize we could not make your stay nice and convenient Best Regards, Hotel Team” which is by far the biggest slap in the faceSadly, they also manage the Hampton next door so this area is not worth it and I would highly recommend a different property considering the lack of service and empathy this property has

Pats Soxfan44

The room was great!!! Arrived 23 minutes before check and got told by Virginia we had to wait till 3pm to check in No problem! She then checks two people in that had 3pm reservations No problem!!! Then they charge us a no show fee

When we arrived and left on time The desk guy couldn’t explain to us their mistake and gave us a hard time about giving us our money back Will avoid this place forever Would like to add we come to apopka once a month for a softball tournament

BED BUGS! WARNING!!! BED BUGS!!!We stayed the night with my daughter, she went to bed and woke up the next morning complaining of bug bites on her stomachWe were in a hurry and had to leave, I can not express how many bed bug bites were covering her body when we got to our location 15 minutes away, not 1 or 2, PLENTY of mothers were confirming that they were bed bugsI called the hotel and they said to send the pictures and they would check the room

They returned an email and said that the room was fine and that they would have the pest control company take care of itIf there is no issue with bed bugs why then do you need pest control??I sent pictures of the massive amounts of bed bug bites and still zero concern for my childDO NOT take your money and spend it at this hotel!I have sent them the pictures, they should be ashamed, especially after reading the reviews and seeing this is NOT the 1st case of bed bugs happening at this hotelYou do not take ownership of your business’s issues!CLEAR OUT THE BED BUGS

Great hotel! So easy to choose your room & get a digital key Staff is wonderful and everyone is friendly Someone had commented the rooms needed to be updated but mine was perfect

Great kitchen/Living room and separate bedroom Highly recommend this hotel as it is very conveniently located as well Will definitely stay here again

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

Geddon Galvin

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

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!

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

Juliette and Myra were amazing when we checked in and when we checked out! They were very kind and accommodating during our stay! We enjoyed our king suite it was beautiful and most importantly CLEAN! You get a good quick breakfast and a nice hot shower! The pics are truer to what you get when you enter your suite! We also enjoyed the fact that the pool was inside and there were lounge chairs outside for tanning! We will definitely be returning Thank you again Juliette and Myra 🙂

My friends and I had a nice welcoming stay here and the service given by Omar was amazing He helped us find things to do and places to eat and he handled any situation very quickly and with good patience Because of him I definitely would like to come back

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

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

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel! 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!

Tracey T. Rice

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

Melissa L

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

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

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!

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

For 3 days in a row, we requested housekeeping to clean our room, refresh our towels, and restock our coffee Today, I even requested it twice It never happened

They are nice enough, but nothing ever gets done However, the a/c works, and the breakfast bar is tolerable Their website says they have laundryfacilities Kind of The dryer is broken This is not worth the money I can’t recommend this hotel

We were there 3 weeks When we pulled up to the front we were met by several people smoking at the front door, to include employees Check in was ok, the front desk acted like I was a inconvenience

The lobby and downstairs was dirty, the elevator was dirty, and our room was wasn’t that clean either The following morning there were cleaning ladies playing on the phones or talking to their baby daddy, not doing their job There was also other employees walking around, not in uniform, the only way I knew they worked there was because they were doing something like half-heartedly wiping the front door This was by far the worst IHG Hotel I’ve stay at I was very disappointed and won’t be staying there again

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!

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

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
