The hotel was recently refurbished so installations-wise everything looks brand new, I took one star out because the ‘breakfast’ is just bagels with cream cheese, nothing else. Also, the staff could be nicer.

Thank you for your review. I am very surprised to hear that our staff, as we pride ourselves on being customer service oriented. I apologize that you did not have a good interaction and I would appreciate knowing whom that was with. In regard to the breakfast, our Spark brand is a bagel bar with muffins, yogurt, juice, coffee and tea. We do hope you will join us again and under better circumstances.

Thank you for your review Donald. We appreciate your business and am sorry to hear you wouldn’t bring the family to our hotel. We are conveniently located near all the parks and we offer shuttles to and from. If a luxurious spot is better suited for the family, we hope you will choose another Hilton brand in the future!

The toilet made sounds through out the day and night. No microwave or clock in the room. For the free breakfast, pay attention to the picture. I didn't, which is a bagel and that is exactly what it was, a bagel bar. I expected more, which was my fault. I should have read the details.

Thank you for your review. I’m sorry you were not aware of the amenities for the brand. Spark brand only offers the bagel bar as their breakfast and has removed the microwaves and clocks. In regard to the toilet, we would have been more than happy to assist with the issue had we known. We hope you will join us again in the future if ever in the area.

Hotel was pretty affordable but when I got to the room the AC wasn’t working, i waited for maintenance to arrive and got told by maintenance that AC wasn’t working, Had to repack all my belongings and got moved to a different room. Elevators had a foul smell like humidity. Breakfast was extremely limited; only bagels and Orange Juice available .

I just needed a place to stay overnight while passing through Orlando and this hotel was perfect for that. It was clean, spacious, dog-friendly, and very conveniently located. Things that need improving - they said breakfast was included but breakfast is just bagels and over by 10 a.m. on the dot. Blink and you miss it. Also, the staff was kind but not super knowledgeable about the area.

Thank you for your review. I am very sorry that you were not satisfied with the standards of the Hilton Spark. As we are renovating there are some things on back order such as the pool furniture, work out equipment and towels. The breakfast is now a bagel bar and the in room amenities are limited but we do offer coffee 24 hours a day and cups are at the coffee bar. We will relay your comments to the brand for future consideration in adding different options. We appreciate your feedback and hope you will reconsider using us in the future.

Thank you for your review. I apologize that the alarm went off since we found someone smoking on the stairwell, but I am glad it was only that and not a true emergency. I am sorry that it caused you an inconvenience during your stay and although we cannot control what other guests do, we try to alleviate these issues by regularly checking these areas. We hope that you will give us another opportunity in the future to exceed your expectations on the next trip.

There was only one working elevator and it was scary to use. There was no television in the living room. The fridge in the room was broken. Paint chipping in the bathroom. Faucet wasn’t properly installed. Tub had a slow drain and I think there was caulk in the drain. The entire place is under renovation with Two dumpsters in the parking lot and Debi’s everywhere throughout the property. There was no hot breakfast due to the construction.

Thank you for sharing your concerns. We are under renovations and trying to get the hotel to our new brand standards. We no longer have a hot breakfast or tv's in the living room with the new brand, but we are working on future additions. I know that you spoke with Jackie and we approved a full refund for the hotel stay, but we are waiting for Orbitz to contact us regarding the refund. Please note that you must initiate this so we they can process your refund. We hope you will join us again once everything has been completed.
