    I'm feeling lightheaded from the service elevator dropping us to the basement! Clearly this place deserves 1 big whopping star for that frightful experience. The ambiance has a vibe I can't quite put my finger on, other than to say ... eerie. The maid service is severely lacking - dust and cobwebs everywhere! I was going to check in and stay a few days but was put off by the lackluster customer service delivered by bellhops needing some vitamin D! Furthermore WHO is running the front desk here?! The line was around the block and it was dead silent inside, not to mention I swear I saw some apparitions! I only recommend going here if you're looking for terror!

    The valet staff out front was entirely pleasing though they sent us through a labyrinth to find the main entrance. The check in area was a tad dusty and full of cobwebs but we were cheerily welcomed. The main elevator was out of commission so they let us use the service elevator. A little bumpy and thumpy but we survived. 10/10 would try to check in again.

    Every time we stay here the visit is... well, unforgettable. First off, the parking is so far away that you have to take a tram - and even then its another long walk once they drop you off at the property entrance. There is often a long line to even enter the lobby. Expect to wait a long time in it before you can check-in. While the grounds are lush, there is a foreboding feeling that I can't seem to brush off. The fountain water is gone and looks to be in poor condition. Once you enter the lobby you will find that it looks like it hasn't been cleaned in many years. There are cobwebs on the chandeliers, tables and pretty much everything. For the price they charge you would expect the upkeep to be better. The elevators here are a joke. You have to go through the boiler room and take the maintenance service elevator to go to your room. Then it gets worse. The elevator goes crazy going from floor to floor. Its so bad that we always leave at that point. We have been back many times but while the floors we go to changes we still never get to our room. You would think we would learn. I just can't recommend this hotel based on our experiences here.

    I keep making reservations at this hotel; although, for the life of me, I can never remember our room. We are always greeted warmly and taken to the elevator. We are promised a splendid room, but it seems as though we stay on an endless trip up and down the elevator. Thankfully, the elevator has windows which offer the most beautiful views, especially at night. It just almost seems as though our entire stay here is inside the elevator... it's like we're trapped in some odd version of The Twilight Zone! Maybe in the future, we should consider taking the stairs....

    My favorite drop ride ever. On my trip to Disneyworld, i was able to ride The Tower Of Terror Twice and man it was fun. Somehow i got lucky enough to get my own ride in the morning, a rarity at Disney. I did miss the version in California until, i rode Tower Of Terror @ Hollywood Studios the first time. It's outstanding, especially the part of the ride, where you break apart from the first elevator shaft, the train then rolls into another lift elevator while passing through a show scene. If you're a fan of thrill rides, this is a must ride

    I dropped in for a stay after a long drive from Chicago. I was wary and I was just looking for a bed. As I entered the lobby, I immediately noticed cobwebs on the once glamorous chandeliers and furniture. I shrugged it off, purely from exhaustion. I stepped to the front desk, where a bored, ghostly looking young lady stood. I asked her the price of the room and she looked at me with a odd smile. She expressed that prices were always falling at the Hollywood Tower Hotel and that was good enough for me. Beware, no wifi or complimentary breakfast at this place, cell service isn't great either, which is fine because rates are so low. I'm now on my way up to my room as we speak. Unfortunately, the main elevators are out of order, so I was led to a service elevator by an strangely quiet elderly gentlemen. I will update this review when I am finished with my stay. I'm sure everything will be fine.

    Still a fantastic and thrilling ride. The Disney cast members are welcoming and friendly and smile all day.

    Long line expect the wait. Get fast pass ready

    Omg another favorite ... I was so unexpected when I first stepped for in this ride amongst other patrons , but oh my was this ride one of the best with the unexpected rush you will most definitely get!

    I have to be honest, I don't know if Delaney's Hotel is considered a hidden gem, but hidden?…read moreAbsolutely. If you don't follow your GPS like it's the voice of God, you'll drive past this place at least 10 times wondering if you're being pranked. Once you finally find it, though, you're in for a surprise. The hotel is attached to a magnificent steakhouse and gives off this classy vineyard-patio vibe that makes you feel like you're about to attend a wine tasting, even if you're just there for work like I was. Walking up, there are beautiful outdoor tables with glass tops where guests can relax, eat, and pretend they're important. Then you walk into the lobby and BAM dark wood floors, elegant furniture, comfortable sofas, and enough atmosphere to make you wonder, Wait what did I accidentally book? I was honestly concerned I'd somehow clicked the wrong hotel and was about to max out my credit card. Nope. Surprisingly affordable. The room? Fantastic. You've got a Keurig machine ready to fuel your caffeine addiction, a nice big TV, all the amenities you need, and then there's THE BED. Listen, I don't know if it's a pillow-top, a cloud-top, a Sleep Number, a NASA mattress, or if angels personally fluff it every afternoon, but that thing is dangerous. I laid down for what felt like five minutes and woke up the next morning. I slept harder than a newborn after a bottle. Now let's talk about room service. They have this little stand where you order directly from the steakhouse downstairs. I ordered dinner, expecting hotel prices that require a small bank loan. The bill was $35. I nearly called the front desk to report a pricing error. Meanwhile, I was hungrier than a hostage, and they delivered a meal fit for royalty. For a brief moment, I genuinely felt like a VIP. The hotel also has a nice bar for those who enjoy a drink. I don't drink, but if I did, I probably would've celebrated finally finding the entrance. Bottom line: great atmosphere, beautiful property, comfortable rooms, amazing food, affordable prices, and a mattress that may have supernatural powers. Would I stay here again? Absolutely. Would I still need GPS to find it? Also absolutely.

Room: -Clean and spacious room/bathroom -Complimentary late checkout is available based on availability (you'd have to call the day of checkout to see if it's possible) -There was hardly any noise at night which was a very pleasant surprise considering the location Location: -This is located in a very central area, easy to access right off I-4 as well -The only thing to take note of is parking is $20/car per night. -My favorite part about my stay that is definitely worth mentioning: there is a complimentary shuttle (operates from 5p-11pm) that can take you anywhere downtown within a 3 mile radius of the hotel. Very handy when you want to stop by a cafe or restaurant that's nearby the hotel!

The lobby also had a tiny cafe kiosk in the middle. This was a smart idea- all the food items came in from another place - so it didn't take up much space in the main area. My room was nice, if not a bit odd. The bed was comfy. But the room seemed lacking some basic furniture. There was a huge empty space across from the couch, with just a bare wall. And there was no drawers or anyplace to put our luggage on top of or to put our clothes into - especially not for a room with 2 queen beds in it. We literally dumped our suitcases on the ground in the empty space, across from the couch which looked at... nothing! The staff was very nice. Thank you!

Conveniently located less than two miles from Universal Studios, shopping, dining, and adjacent to Interstate 4 Exit 74A in the Restaurant Row, my partner and I chose to stay at the Drury Inn & Suites on a busy West Sand Lake Road as first-timers and must say it will not be our last! Check-in was easy and stress-free. With 238 guestrooms and suites, our clean and spacious room was nice, and being at the very end of the hall on the upper floor, it was pretty quiet. Daily breakfast is offered to include scrambled eggs, sausage, make-your-own Belgian waffles, biscuits and gravy, and more. They also have a 5:30 Kickback every evening from 5:30 to 7 p.m. to enjoy free dinnertime snacks and drinks; 3 alcoholic beverages are also included but optional. The staff were always nice and helpful. Please make sure to say hello to Miss Vickie in the mornings at the breakfast buffet. Free parking made getting around so much easier; other hotels charged. As a Universal Partner Hotel, they offer a free, scheduled shuttle to Universal Orlando Resort, which we used during our visit.

For the price, I would give it zero stars otherwise as rooms are in great need of updating in soundproofing. If anyone around you flushes a toilet or runs bathroom water you hear it and even in the living rooms you can hear all the traffic noise and the bedroom is closer than living room space. The bed and bathroom fixtures are updated and nice quick hot water. There is an area for coffee with microwave/refrigerator with a little countertop outside the bathroom to use which was nice. The air conditioner also works well. I wish they would modernize the couch sofa bed as it was awful feeling all the springs and made for a painful back/neck the next day. The breakfast is good but normal for free. Staff again in breakfast area was excellent. The parks are close so it's convenient but rest is imperative so if you're not a sound sleeper, I'd make a stay further out somewhere else for a good nights sleep.

Not once did the waitstaff ever come by to offer me more coffee at breakfast. So, for service I give 3 stars. However, the bartender at the pool was wonderful! She was very nice and attentive. The valets were all great! The front desk staff were all wonderful. It's really just the waitstaff in the restaurants that need to get better. We loved our room. We had a view of the pool. I did call downstairs to ask for a magnifying mirror and a weight scale. They said they didn't have either. Fortunately they called back and did in fact have a scale and brought it up to my room. I would hope a nice hotel like this would have magnified mirrors for the bathroom. The food and drinks in the restaurants were good. No complaints. The location is great. We walked to dinner and to the nearby lake Eola. There's plenty of things to do within walking distance. I would stay here again.

They taste like fake food. I didn't like the breakfast link veggie sausages and the tomato bisque was too sweet. I'm sure those can be swapped for something way better. There was no utensil For the waffles. I forgot to ask for one but how come no one else noticed? The staff did replenish the food but not the serving spoons/tongs. They do still have an omelette bar and meat carving station and crepe station. I enjoyed all 3. Clean and organized. Not too crowded. I was a little concerned about the temperature of the oysters on the half shell. If this brunch is going to last, it could use some improvement. After all, It's not a cheap brunch.

We were able to go out and about without worrying about driving, which made the trip even more enjoyable. The hotel was easy to find, and parking is conveniently located right across the street with simple in-and-out access (though, of course, there is a parking fee -- which is never fun). Inside, the hotel is very clean, beautifully decorated, and the staff was accommodating throughout our stay. Our room was on the fifth floor, which I actually prefer when staying in a city -- the higher up, the better to avoid street noise. One of my favorite features of Embassy Suites is the room layout. The separation between the living room and bedroom is ideal, especially if someone wants to rest while others are still awake. The rooms have consistently been clean and feel very homey. Everything was great -- until Sunday morning. This is a dog-friendly hotel, which we love since we bring our dog and take her on walks so she's not stuck inside all weekend. However, checkout morning was pure chaos. One of the two elevators was out of service, it was peak checkout time, and there was also a princess pageant event happening, so the hotel was much busier than usual. Trying to get downstairs with my dog was extremely frustrating. I looked for stairs but wasn't sure if they were alarmed. When I asked an employee to confirm, she looked at me like I had five heads, which didn't help my already thin patience (I definitely did not have enough coffee for that situation). I eventually just went downstairs. Coming back up was even worse -- the line for the single working elevator was ridiculous. When I asked the front desk about the stairs, I was told they were accessible from outside. I didn't realize I needed my key card to re-enter through the outdoor stairwell (which makes total sense -- I was just aggravated at that point). After going back inside and trying again, I ended up walking up five flights of stairs with my dog. Thankfully, we had requested a late checkout, so we avoided the absolute peak of the chaos. Our friends on the third floor ended up carrying their luggage down the stairs because waiting for the elevator wasn't worth it. Unfortunately, being on the fifth floor with a lot of luggage, that wasn't really an option for us. Aside from that stressful morning, we really enjoyed our stay. The complimentary evening happy hour with drink tickets and small bites is always a highlight. We also had breakfast on Saturday morning -- and honestly, the breakfast is a major deciding factor whenever we choose to stay at a Hilton. Overall, a great stay with one very frustrating checkout experience.

My daughter was leaning against one of the end tables to plug something in on the other side the night before we were hitting Epic Universe early, and it collapsed below her. She fell on top of it and some portion of it punctured her leg (we think a metal pin that was poking out from one of the broken legs). We contacted hotel management, and they came with hotel security who did some basic first aid and took away the broken tables (the other one also broke from her fall). We're grateful she wasn't injured more seriously (at least that we know of yet), but it could have been so much worse if that pin had punctured a more delicate area of her body. It also definitely made the next day at the park a lot harder for her with leg pain, etc. They really need to upgrade/inspect the furniture to make sure it's safe for guests.
