They never put my money back on my card for the unused incidental fees that they charged me. They charged my card twice for parking fees that they said were covered in the incidental fee!! Our room smelled like old mildew and mold causing me and my children to have a horrible cough!! The room was a bit outdated to me. Will NOT and returning.

After reading the negative reviews about this hotel, I was a little nervous to stay. People complained of smelly rooms, long check-in times, rude staff, and dated carpet/furniture. I experienced none of that. I am just a regular lady that stayed at this property for 4 nights - I am not a rewards or honors member nor was I asked to do this review. I just want people to know how this property really is and not be deterred or question their booking choice. Upon walking in, you can see the big courtyard with a pretty fountain/pond on the other side of the glass windows/wall. The lobby had lots of seating and was full of light. Check in was really quick and painless. A young man named Diogo or Doigio or Diogio (something along those lines, I apologize) helped us. We were 15 minutes early to check in - he gave us warm cookies which was nice after a long day of travel. The room was clean and smelled just fine.. there was a cute gelato shop in the hotel as well. If I had to point out the negatives of this hotel I would say the Starbucks workers were pretty grumpy and the rooms had barely any sound blocking/insulation. I could hear people in the hall like they were in my room, especially doors closing and elevator dinging. It did not disrupt my sleep that I could tell but it was noticeable. The area was safe and close to Universal. Overall I would probably stay again.

The property was extremely clean, and the staff was very helpful and nice. There could have been two things improved upon better lighting in the room and another option other than Starbucks for coffee. It’s a very nice place to stay and I would highly recommend it.

I had a fantastic stay at this hotel! From the moment we arrived, the warm welcome—especially the delicious hot cookie at reception—made us feel right at home. The rooms were impeccably clean, the bed was incredibly comfortable, and the location was perfect for our needs. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Doubletree Universal

The stay was ok. We were going to sit in the bar, order a drink and watch a UF gymnastics meet which only last about l-1.5 hrs. There were few people in the bar at the time and we were sitting at the outside table almost in the lobby area. We were told we could sit there unless we ordered. I explained we were going to order a drink and watch the match then possibly order food. She told us we were taking up a table and we couldn’t do that. The TV in our room was not very clear. Older TV that needed updating. I’ve never had that happen. Maybe she was tired of tourist, but I’m a native Floridian and tourism is most of our economy. I’m always stay at Hilton Hotels but some employees need orientation on hospitality. The clerk that checked us in couldn’t have been nicer or more accommodating. Everyone one we spoke to was very polite. I gotta say, I’ve never been kicked out of the bar before. This hotel needs updating.
