Great stay
Pros:

Big rooms and super comfortable bed and pillows. Slept really well! Clean and good smell. Bathroom was walk in shower. Room furniture is too dark and traditional for my personal taste, but still very well kept. Great breakfast.

Roaches in bed
Pros:

All I need to say is we had a roach in bed with us when we woke up one morning. All I got was an apology from the GM….a jacked up $250 night because it was graduation weekend and it’s a roach motel.

I wouldn't stay at this hotel again, I don't recommend it.
Pros:

Location, friendly employees

Cons:

I didn't like the bathroom; the shower needs remodeling. Also, the hotel hallways lack air conditioning and have an unpleasant odor—I think it's due to the carpet and the lack of airflow.

Sketchy
Pros:

If you do not know the area, let me tell you it may be close to UCF, but it’s not on the good side. If you need to be close to UCF stay on university Boulevard in one Hilton‘s other properties. This property is close to colonial Drive and is very sketchy. We will not stay there again. There was a domestic dispute while we were there three cop cars were called. Just don’t do it.

Close to the UCF arena
Pros:

Andrea at the front desk was awesome!

Cons:

Half the plugs didnt work. The air was also testy. Was very cold on arrival. It was very hot when returned in the evening and never fully cooled off over night.

Good location. But very dirty
Pros:

This is a very old and dirty hotel. We found a roach in the bathroom and hair and dirt everywhere. Stains on the sheets. It seems recently painted. The lobby smells of Lysol but the rest of the hotel smells musky. Our key stopped working and the front desk employee that had to get off his TikTok videos to assist seemed irritated about resetting our key. Everything is just run down and uncleaned. We wore our flip flops the entire time. We also bought cleaning supplies and hand soap and towels from the store. The place they put your “clean towels” is un cleaned and dirty and dusty. Needs a real deep clean.

Puts the meh in memorable
Pros:

Check in was seamless. Disappointed to discover breakfast isn’t included. The hallways are a bit grim with harsh, industrial lighting. The room definitely smells … off. Like something is lurking under the baby powder scent. The ac isn’t amazing and there is a LOT of road noise. The bed seems comfortable enough. It’s okay but I’m glad it’s only one night.
