Hotel Review: Hilton Lake Buena Vista
I recently stayed at the Hilton Lake Buena Vista and had a mixed experience. The hotel has its charms, but there are definitely areas for improvement.
Rooms: The rooms felt outdated, reminiscent of the 1980s. While the TV was a standout feature, offering a good range of channels and a modern interface, the overall decor could use a refresh to match contemporary standards.
Dining: The breakfast buffet, while decent, seemed a bit overpriced. With options like the Waffle House nearby, it might be worth considering a price adjustment to make it more competitive.
Service: One of the highlights of my stay was the exceptional service from the server Kala. Her energy and enthusiasm were unmatched, making dining a delightful experience.
Overall Experience: The hotel has potential, but a renovation would significantly enhance the guest experience. Updating the rooms and adding more resort-like amenities could make it a top choice for visitors. In the meantime, the friendly staff, especially Kala, make the stay enjoyable despite the dated ambiance.

I stayed here while attending an on-site convention. I was pretty surprised to see the dated room, with large curtains and checkerboard headboards, and carpet. The room appeared clean enough, just dark, heavy in colors, and very mid 90s. Now the premier location for Disney Springs walking and the park shuttle, those aspects were great. The main highlight is the pool area - a 10, it reminded me on the pools at Disney Swan, large, warm, quiet, ample seating to relax. The staff was nothing but helpful, the food served was fine. The main lobby and Starbucks area was updated, but the rooms, conference space, and halls just all need some TLC.

We had an excellent stay at the Hilton Lake Buena Vista Resort. While this hotel dates back to the early 80s, and the outside reflects that, the inside has had a fresh renovation and is up-to-date, warm, and beautiful all around. Rooms are updated, with hints of traditional colors and textures with a modern, luxurious lobby and common spaces. The king beds are traditional king size, and not the more common California king. The hotel is perfectly located right next to the Bridge walkway that drops you directly into downtown Disney. Although breakfast is not included, the breakfast buffet was exceptional. Service was excellent. We would highly recommend this resort and definitely return.

This hotel property is old and half of the hotel is renovated. There's a feel that this property has seen it's glory days and is on its last legs. Service was ok, we arrived early but our room was not ready until 3pm, which is the normal check in time so I won't hold the staff to it. Location is great, easy walk to Disney Spring for shopping and restaurants. I give this hotel a 3 stars comparing to other Hilton locations. I hope this review helps.

I had a great stay at the Hilton Lake Buena Vista. The room was clean, the bed was comfy, and it even came with a free rental movie—perfect for winding down after a day at the parks. The hotel has 3 pools and an arcade, which was a fun bonus.
What really sets this place apart is the convenience: early Disney park entry and free shuttles made our trip so much smoother. And the Market Side store being open from 6 AM to 1 AM was a game-changer! I especially want to shout out Keyla, who was incredibly helpful and courteous—her customer service made my day.
Highly recommend for families heading to Disney!
