Trip Report Hilton Orlando Lake Buena Vista

I just wanted to give a shout out to the Hilton Orlando Lake Bunea Vista as a great affordable option. I just came back from a 4-night stay and had a lovely time. I was between that and the All Star Sports which was almost an identical price (even factoring in parking and resort fees)

I paid $217.35 a night (including taxes and resort charge)+ $26.63 for overnight parking for a total of $243.98 a night. However, in addition I got a $50 per night food and beverage credit, so I really only paid $193.98 a night.

Advantages Hilton had over All Stars

• Larger hotel room (I don't have the numbers, but it felt bigger than the 260sqft of all stars)
• 2 onsite table service restaurants (didn't go to benihana, but Covington mill was a really good breakfast option)
• Room service (quite good food once again)
• A cocktail lounge (didn't try but some might like it)
• 5-minute walk to Disney springs
• Ability to book a king size bed
• More compact layout (Farthest room from dinning ~600 ft plus elevator, at All-stars could be over ~1000ft)

I haven't stayed at the All Stars in a while, but the only advantages I can think of are:

• Disney theming
• Disney Transportation
• The Disney Wake up calls

Overall, just had a really great experience at the Hilton and wanted to share it as a good option for people looking for a "budget" onsite hotel. I didn't find a lot of recent reviews outside of Yelp/Trip advisor so I thought I would share!

I stayed at this Hilton a few years ago and used Hilton points. By using points I didn't have to pay the resort fee, I did have to pay for parking though. Anyway, I enjoyed the hotel and loved that my room had a view of Epcot. I looked out the window at night with Spaceship Earth lit up and my husband watched sports, it was a win-win scenario!
