    Awesome stay and great location Diamond was such a pleasure to check in and out with! She answered all our questions and was able to accommodate our needs. They offered water and warm cookies when we arrived. Room was very clean the beds and pillows so comfty. just remember to ask for service if you need each day. Pool was large and clean there is a side bar with jacuzzi and kid splash pads , pool towels were always well stocked. Plenty of room to lounge. Starbucks and pizza on site as well as a restaurant and ice cream shop in lobby. You can do a nice 15 min walk to universal walk if you like. We did uber and they were always around 2 mins from us to take us anywhere. There is also a shuttle with certain times remember to reserve with universal desk at front.

    This review was written twice, and rejected as a "system error" twice as a 3-star review. Trying now as a 4-star seeing if it gets published. Hotel is walking distance to Universal, which was the best thing about it. Staff were great, from check in, to housekeeping, to buffet service, all were polite, courteous, competent, and helpful. Stayed 3 nights and hotel was almost always bustling with activity. Large facility with people coming and going, including on site events (during my visit, a large wedding). If you're looking for low-key, this is probably not your place. Breakfast buffet was worth it, with quality food a wonderful staff. Housekeeping had room tidied up nicely each day. Of poor note, access from pool to hot tub area was cut off by wedding event. Also, staff are not pro active in enforcement of noise rules. Each of last two nights during stay, family and I were disrupted by unruly neighbors who were extremely loud, yelling and watching TV at full volume into the wee hours of morning, making for a less than pleasant stay. Parking tip: room key card needed to get in AND out of parking lot. When checking out, gang onto one key card so you can buzz out, then leave it in the drop box at the access arm. (If you forget, there is an intercom where helpful staff will let you out after confirming room number.) Overall, mediocre experience. If I go back to Orlando, I'm looking elsewhere.

    I had a great stay at the DoubleTree by Hilton at the Entrance to Universal Orlando. The hotel was clean and comfortable, and the staff were all very pleasant and helpful. The location is super convenient for anyone planning to visit Universal Studios—just a short walk away—and there are plenty of restaurants and food options in the area. My room was spacious and spotless, and check-in was quick and seamless. Overall, a solid choice for both comfort and convenience!

    Wow, I’m consistently impressed by the team at DoubleTree Universal, and yesterday’s event was no exception. Everything went seamlessly, and the food was absolutely delicious. A special shoutout to Jessica Maertchik, Adonis, Levis, Caesar, and Julio — it’s always a pleasure working with such a fantastic team. Thank you all for making our “teach me how to heal: men edition” group feel truly welcomed and valued.

    The hotel is very busy but nice and clean. Check in was easy? The front desk staff were all nice and accommodating. Bell service was great as well. Bellman Carlos was exceptional! I’m on crutches and he went out of his way to assist me and make my stay easier. Thank you Carlos
