Quotes run exactly as travelers wrote them — spelling and all. We trim for length, never for tidiness.
- “I found the room to be quite spacious, clean, and modern.” 19
- “The master bathroom featured a door ensuite to the bedroom, but also a connected ante room onto the living room. This allowed the bathroom to serve both guests as well as ourselves without guests entering our space.” 10
- “i think the best thing about the rooms at this resort is how spacious that they are we're staying in a three bedroom three bathroom unit in addition to the three bedrooms which were pretty big themselves there was a really good good sized main room and a pretty big kitchen as well” On camera30:26
- “Check out was slated for 10 AM, I asked for a late check-out and was granted a one hour extension on the one bedroom suite, but 11:30 on the studio side. This is a far cry of what I've experienced elsewhere in the brand even as a lowly Gold.” 10
- “However, I do find the cost to stay here higher than the Marriott properties we have previously visited. Our cost this time with a 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom room was actually higher than getting a 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom unit at the Marriott properties.” 1
- “The bedroom had a very comfortable king-size bed, a sliding door leading out to the balcony, and plenty of storage space with another large TV.” 1
- “we have the two bedroom suite oh my God I want to sit in this tub for 15 hours” On camera84:11
- “we'll start off with the television big enough for the room finally I get into a a time share a hotel room that has a big television in it well they all they all do now but this one's got the TV and it does turn so depending on where you're sitting especially if you're sitting at the dining room table” On camera41:10
- “One Bedroom King Suite with Queen Sofa Bed Our room was very nice. Our room was very nice. To be honest it's hard to go wrong with Hilton and Marriott Vacation Clubs in Orlando. We've stayed at multiple resorts and they're all typically very well appointed.” 1
- “They will stop. We stay at these units all the time. You will LOVE the extra room. Fantastic for families.” 12
- “it looks like they have not really updated that part of it how everything is now plugs lots of plugs in the room let me point out how old this is this clock radio has a built-in charger for an iPhone 5 this is really old that's an iPhone 5” On camera44:42
- “king-size bed looks amazing looks very comfortable love the headboard up here got a nice little nightstand here” On camera203:48
- “and this was $18 so it's not like it's much more than you know a normal meal in Orlando mhm cuz yours was what like 15 1650 16 so 16 18 30 bucks for a meal can't beat it” On camera2014:33
- “This is a far cry of what I've experienced elsewhere in the brand even as a lowly Gold. There was no breakfast or on-site dining credit, in my experience as an Honors member, it was a Hilton in name alone.” 10
- “On the property is the Provisions Market & Fresh Deli as well as the Coral Reef Bar and Grill. My family enjoyed that Provisions serves Starbucks and had breakfast sandwiches.” 19
- “The Coral Reef Bar & Grille provides a relaxed spot for casual drinking and dining.” 13
- “Tuscany. There are more restaurants within a 1 mile radius than at any other resort I have stayed at, ever, anytime, anywhere, in 50+ years of life.” 9
- “The chef at the casual bar and restaurant by the large pool is excellent.” 16
- “The bar & grill here was called the Coral Reef and offered a full menu and an extensive list of cocktails and other drinks. We had lunch there once and the food was excellent.” 1
- “On the downside at HGVC, the shower is basically missing a wall on one side, so there will be water everywhere. Its a very strange setup.” 17
- “what the restroom so the restroom this one we do have a nice curved shower curtain that should be a standard in every shower in the world nice little Soaker tub” On camera205:48
- “there is a separate portion for hi again for the toilet the shower and the sink so you can brush your teeth out here and then wash your hands I guess too you can brush your teeth at the same time that's pretty great” On camera85:40
- “I love when they do this shampoo conditioner shower gel it's in pumps have as much as you need love it look at the fanciness so fancy” On camera206:00
- “The shower was massive but it was hard to keep water inside and a door or more glass walls would have helped.” 10
- “let me do the shower test I'm going to see how oh I can tell right now it's going to be tall enough oh good oh yeah and you look like you have plenty of room too definitely tall definitely tall enough” 4
- “and it was oh so close to Disney we're like 5 minutes from Disney Springs I caught an Uber the other day with my little guy and it was $5 American so can't complain about that at all I loved that aspect of it” On camera817:32
- “The Hilton Grand Vacations Club SeaWorld® Orlando is well located near Interstate 4 and International Drive in southwest Orlando which is close to most of the family attractions.” 1
- “Another bonus of this hotel's location was its proximity to the nearby 7-11. Because the hotel shop closes at 8 pm, after a long day at the park, we were able to restock on water at the 7-11. It was roughly a 7-minute walk from our room.” 19
- “Across the street from Sea World. Shuttle back and Forth to Sea World. Great location off of International Drive from many fantastic memories!” 16
- “The Publix is walkable. There are a ton of restuarants/stores around the property that you can walk to.” 9
- “Here is my complete review of the room and our experience! We visited the Walt Disney World Parks during our stay, and I found that it was very easy to get an Uber/Lyft from this hotel, and we got to the parks very quickly. It was also a very quick ride to the airport!” 19
- “let's go back into the main bedroom mhm and you'll notice when you walk in it gets really really quiet in here so you don't really hear the road noise” On camera43:51
- “if you're going into SeaWorld I mean you're literally across the street you can just walk like you don't need pay for parking at SeaWorld and of course everything is right around here” On camera2021:48
- “Thin walls mean noise travels between rooms” 13
- “this is some good towel right grab tree and Evelyn soaps” On camera85:18
- “A 10 AM check out is a little ridiculous. I also think that it needs very clear at booking that none of your elite benefits will be accommodated, not even the ones that cost the hotel nothing to give.” 10
- “Service at the hotel was good. You don't often need much since you effectively have a self-service apartment. But everyone there was nice and helpful, housekeeping brought anything we needed to the room, the poolside entertainment was great for the kids (and there was aquatic zumba too which my wife enjoyed), and everyone seemed quite ready to help out with anything guests would require.” 1
- “The reception area is bright and includes a nice sitting area with plenty of couches, a fireplace, and computer terminals which guests can use.” 1
- “The suites are very clean and spacious, and the hotel offers free shuttle service to SeaWorld, Aquatica, Discovery Cove, Universal Orlando.” 14
- “Perhaps it was because of the holiday traffic, but check in was agonizingly slow. We waited in line, along with everyone else, for at least a half-hour.” 14
- “Throughout our stay, it was extremely easy to get in contact with guest services and request more towels and information about the coffee maker (we had some difficulty getting it to work the first morning)!” 19
- “the workers there are super friendly with kids very helpful our son just loved tie-dye day at hilton verification sea world” On camera33:20
- “I think I mentioned that I did receive the most basic elite benefits when I stayed at a Sheraton timeshare property which was as simple as early check-in and late check out. A 10 AM check out is a little ridiculous.” 10
- “The reception area is bright and includes a nice sitting area with plenty of couches, a fireplace, and computer terminals which guests can use. Our check-in was quick and we were given the keys to our suite in a nearby building.” 1
- “also when we checked in they did not try to sell us time share we definitely went over to that little desk where they give you the the parking pass and they always try to sell you on time share and we did not have that they did give us like a pamphlet and some coupons and that kind of thing but I was really happy they didn't keep us there for you know half an hour going over” On camera816:01
- “we do actually have a really really good view of SeaWorld in the roller coasters yeah from from where we are” On camera43:00
