Verified Guest from Hialeah, FL US rated Hilton in Walt Disney World Resort 9 out of 10 on July 11, 2005
"We were able to get in at the last minute... The hotel looked nice and fresh...very clean. I liked that it did not have the typical Disney atmosphere, as we were traveling without children. Our room was quiet and comfortable. I will be staying here my next visit to the Disney area. I suppose my only "complaint" would be that our room was located a bit too far from the elevator."

"When a request was made for a refrigerator to be put in my room, the desk attendant instantly called and requested that it be put in the room. Also it was very convenient that I was able to purchase my tickets for the theme parks right in the hotel at the disney store. On the down side, it cost me $5.00 for an old cardboard box I needed to flatten so I could pack a couple pictures in my luggage. Over all I was very satisfied with the hotel though."
