Very Good

As usual a great stay. The room is big, the bed is comfortable and the staff is very friendly.
Especially loved that there are shuttles to the Universal parks.

Warm cookies for sure. Clean room and friendly staff.
Me and my cousin had a great stay at Doubletree Hilton by Entrance at Universal, I wish we stayed here last year! Shoutout to Maria who checked us in early on Wednesday after our flight! Everything was great. Would stay here again.
Good, need work on the food variety and the buses for epic and universal stoped running to early. Either than that everything was wonderful. The cleaning was my favorite part. Very nice and tidy and every time we would have a cute decoration in the bad.
The staff is rude. My digital key wasn't working so I went to check in at the front desk. I was told I would get a text when my room was ready and they couldn't even give me a ballpark of how long it would be. They also couldn't guarantee the digital key would work so I would need to go to the front desk again. Refused to give me a reason why. So we left to go kill a few hours. Got a text 3 minutes after leaving that the room was ready. Self parking was a mess - had to wait for someone to let us into the lot. Then we had to call the help button to be let out because the keys didn't work.
The technology at this hotel is terrible and the staff doesn't seem to care or have any empathy.
Didnt knock before coming into the room had to pay for parking after I had to pay for a over priced room that didn't come with a free breakfest the rooms could have been more cleaner
The AC didn't work even after calling to have it repaired. Also, we stayed there because we had a convention there and we were vendors. The ceiling began leaking right above our booth and if we had moved our products would have been ruined. Non of the staff even tried to help us. We were forced to move our booth twice!! I will never stay at a Hilton again and I will make sure everyone knows what a horrible stay we had! When I asked for compensation for both the AC and the inconvenience in the vendor room and was denied. Apparently the customer doesn't come first!!
