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.

Embassy Suites by Hilton Lake Buena Vista A Deeply…read moreDisappointing Stay Our experience at Embassy Suites by Hilton Lake Buena Vista was deeply disappointing from the moment we arrived. Upon check-in, no one offered to assist with our luggage. After locating a luggage cart ourselves, we had to push it what felt like the distance of four football fields just to reach our room. Unfortunately, the room itself was tired, dated, and long overdue for renovation. It had not been cleaned thoroughly, and there was visible mold. The room also felt damp and musty throughout our stay. The biggest frustration came when we tried to bathe our children, only to discover there was no hot water. I repeatedly called the front desk from both the room phone and my iPhone, but no one answered. After receiving no response, I walked the long distance back to the lobby while calling the front desk the entire way. The phone rang continuously, yet no one picked up. When I arrived, the front desk appeared to be staffed by a young employee who never looked up because she was focused on her personal phone. I pointed out that the hotel phone had been ringing the entire time. She initially replied that she hadn't heard it, then noticed it ringing and answered it. When I asked about the lack of hot water, I was told the boiler had only recently been turned back on and that it would be approximately an hour before hot water would be available. What made matters even more concerning was that, because of the damp conditions and what appeared to be mold in the room, our children became ill during our stay. Their condition ultimately required a visit to an urgent care clinic for medical treatment. Whether the room caused their illness cannot be stated with certainty, but the condition of the room certainly heightened our concerns. The pool area was equally disappointing. It is in desperate need of renovation. Paint was peeling throughout the area, many surfaces appeared worn and neglected, and the pool water itself did not appear to be maintained to the standard one would expect from a Hilton property. During our stay, I received a text message asking how everything was going. I honestly shared the concerns outlined above. To the hotel's credit, they responded by offering Hilton Honors points and complimentary use of a pool cabana. While I appreciated the gesture, even that experience became another disappointment. Upon entering the cabana, we discovered that neither the ceiling fan nor the refrigerator worked. After notifying the staff, I was assured that maintenance would arrive promptly. Unfortunately, no one ever came. After sitting in the sweltering heat for an extended period, I ended up repairing the fan myself. I remember telling my wife, "I didn't come on vacation to work." For a Hilton property, this level of service and maintenance fell far below expectations. Between the lack of guest service, the poor condition of the room, unanswered phones, the absence of hot water, concerns about cleanliness and possible mold, our children's illness, the deteriorating pool facilities, and repeated maintenance failures, the experience was frustrating from beginning to end. This stay did not reflect the level of quality, hospitality, or attention to detail that guests have every right to expect from the Hilton brand.

What a pleasant stay! Lots of great things to speak about based on my experience:…read more Customer service: -Very helpful and courteous front desk staff -There is also a cafe/bar located in the lobby with a menu of food available for purchase, and a market for last minute items needed (also for purchase). While I didn't take advantage of this, I observed many people ordering from this cafe/bar. 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! I had such a great stay here, I would definitely consider returning for my next stay in Orlando and would highly recommend this for anyone looking to stay in the area!

To make the most of your time, it is ideal for one's hotel to be near the theme parks that can transform one's vacation from good to extraordinary. 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. Vacationers, if one's looking for an affordable accommodation with convenient amenities, look no further.

Jasmine grows on the bushes outside, which is a nice touch. Room was big and spacious with a king bed and five pillow options. The TV even has Peloton strength workouts that don't require equipment or an account. Front desk staff was plentiful so there were no lines. On the downside, the hallway on my floor was painted white and it felt very institutional. The elevator not requiring a key felt a bit unsecured since anyone could press any floor. Also no hook for a hand towel in the large bathroom, which was annoying. Italian restaurant starts around $30 per plate and at the upper bar cocktails are about $20.

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.
