I wanted to so badly LOVE this hotel, but they fell short and I'm just not sure where or why. When I made my reservations MONTHS ago, I noted that we would be arriving after 10pm and I also did Arrival Requests for sodas and waters to be in our fridge when we arrived in our room. And requested extra towels and no down pillows. I paid EXTRA for the sodas to be in the fridge, to be cold, because I knew we would be tired from traveling (flying) all day, and this would be a welcome treat for the hubs without having to stop and find someplace in an area we were unfamiliar with. When we arrived we were not treated in the Hilton fashion I was accustomed to and a room was NOT ready, even after I had been texting them after we landed. When we got upstairs to our room, the rooms are REALLY nice, but there were no sodas or water in the fridge, even after I asked at check-in to verify this and told Yes, we would find them in the fridge and the room was 80 degrees! We tried phoning the front desk, but the phone was broken, so the hubs went downstairs to speak with the manager on duty. He was told to go over to the pantry to get the sodas and was handed warm waters and someone came to fix the phone promptly.
We ordered room service, and the food was hot and delicious, and the service was wonderful!
We had to keep complaining about the A/C not working properly and finally while we were at Magic Kingdom on day 3 of our stay, someone fixed it. We also had to keep complaining about not having bottled water in our room each day, which was something we were supposed to have, they offer and advertise.
When we asked the front desk for dinner recommendations one evening, they couldn't give us any because they told us they didn't live there and didn't eat out around there and had never tried any restaurants around there. We found that EXTREMELY odd! HUGE tourist destination and they couldn't recommend ONE restaurant to dine at? I'd recommend that you all cater in some meals from local restaurants for your workers to be able to make recommendations!
When I got the bill at check-out, we were charged twice for the sodas on arrival night and the person at the front desk kept arguing with me that they were indeed in the fridge when we arrived (she was NOT on duty when we arrived), I finally got the credit after the Manager on duty spoke to someone else to find out what had happened.
Like I said, I SOOO wanted to love this hotel, but they just kept coming up short. The cookies were good! (Our stay was 4/24/19-4/24/19)
