Hilton Garden Inn Orlando International Drive North

“No resort/parking fees here!”

After a day at Sea World we chose to stay here. I think it's a "Universal Studios" affiliated hotel, but wasn't a far drive from Sea World. We parked our car for free. We had two bikes locked onto the back and there were no issues. The hotel is located in a "neighborhood" of just hotels. The pool/h… more

After a day at Sea World we chose to stay here. I think it's a "Universal Studios" affiliated hotel, but wasn't a far drive from Sea World. We parked our car for free. We had two bikes locked onto the back and there were no issues. The hotel is located in a "neighborhood" of just hotels. The pool/hot tub area was great and we enjoyed relaxing there after a day at the theme park. There was a cute little Tiki Bar serving food and drinks, we didn't partake, but it was nice that it was an option. The lobby was spacious. The lobby and our room seemed all brand new, not sure if it's a new build or a well-done renovation. We got a king bed room. Loved the closet set-up and had all your expected room amenities (micro/Keurig/fridge). They also had a full length mirror, yay. I did like the fragrance of their soap/lotion/etc in the bathroom. We were on the 5th level and enjoyed the views. Being in Florida, I'm always most concerned about a room being properly cooled for a good night's sleep, A/C worked well. The bed was a little on the stiff side for me, but that's a personal thing, looked like a new mattress. After hanging by the pool we walked to a nearby restaurant for dinner. There are many restaurants a walk-able distance away. When we returned from dinner we stopped in their little on property, "convenience shop," and picked up a beer. The shop is self-check-out and had snacks, drinks and sunscreen/toiletries, etc. When we booked the room directly with the hotel, we chose the option to have breakfast included. Breakfast is not included automatically. The breakfast costs less to choose the option to pay for it when booking the room than to get it the day of. That said, the breakfast was meh. There is a Denny's nearby for another option. I appreciated the convenience of the breakfast right there, it just wasn't very good. All staff we encountered upon check-in, check-out and at breakfast was friendly. For the price, the place is very solid.

We always stay at this hotel and it never fails to disappoint. The staff welcome us back like family which is lovely. The hotel is so well equipped with a restaurant and lovely Tiki bar where you can sit in the evening with a drink by the fire pit in comfy chairs. The rooms are very modern with fridge, microwave, coffee maker and safe with plenty of storage. The pool area is stunning and is always kept spotless and there are plenty of sun loungers and tables and chairs and cabannas if you wish to sit in the shade. The hotel is perfectly situated for the Universal parks and has a courtesy bus every day. You really can't beat this hotel, it really is a winner on every level. The one thing that stands out though is the amazing staff, they are all dedicated and so helpful and friendly and are a credit to the hotel. We will be back again as soon as we can. Thoroughly recommended!

Hilton Garden Inn Orlando North is truly a hidden gem. We came for a meeting, but our group split—half attended the meeting while the other half enjoyed the nearby theme parks—and it worked out perfectly for everyone. From the moment you walk in (and even when you walk out), the staff consistently acknowledge you, which makes a big difference. Everyone we encountered was warm and welcoming. I want to personally recognize Chris, Jennifer, Darian, and Ms. Calista—along with others whose names I didn’t catch—because they all contributed to such a great experience. The breakfast buffet team was outstanding. They kept our drinks filled and were always ready to help in any way they could. Housekeeping was kind and attentive as well. We did have to call maintenance for a clogged toilet, and I’m not exaggerating when I say he was there within three minutes—top-notch response time. That level of service really stood out. On our checkout day, we even noticed a maintenance worker outside painting the curb yellow. We struck up a conversation while waiting for our rideshare, and it just reinforced how much pride the team takes in maintaining the property. What stood out the most is how much the staff genuinely seems to care—and that’s something you don’t always find. I would absolutely stay here again.
