Hilton Orlando - ugliest view

Let me reiterate - we're on vacation and loving it. I posted the view situation to help future tuggers - by no means do I want you to all think I do nothing but complain. BUT - speaking of complaining - They came to do extra cleaning at 35 dollars for a 2 bedroom (we asked for it). They came in for 7 minutes. They made the beds and changed towels. we asked about the kitchen. They pressed the on button on the dishwasher, took the trash, and left. We called the manager. We asked if he gets paid 35 dollars for 7 minutes. He laughed and agreed to redo the cleaning the next day. We'll see how it looks tomorrow.

All that said - I LOVE this resort. We'll be back again and again. We'll learn from little errors. I met 3 people here so far and told them about tug and not to buy developer.

We had a blast at Disney - love the pool - love everything. I'm telling you about minor things - again - because I hope it's helpful to others.


Your post has been very helpful, Most people would be disappointed if they looked forward to an HGVC vacation only to get a "construction view" unit..... Except for Timeos 2 - of course - who doesnt catre about th eview and has yet to purchase an HGVC to add some credibility to his 2 cents.
 
FWIW, you'll also want to stay away from units facing the Blvd in the 'Tucker' building at the Seaworld location. Lots of loud traffic and constant sirens from the adjacent fire sub station.
 
We don't own that cow but enjoy the milk

I'm supposed to buy when I have been able to trade in to every HGVC I've wanted to stay at? With so few locations - but plenty of resorts in those locations - its easy to get HGVC. No need to own and, as I said, I've never been disappointed with the view.
 
:annoyed:

Zac495 - Hilton Grand Vacation Club - Building 7


What did you think of the following


Club House and
Owners Lounge

Did you and your family play bridge
over at Tuscany`s Owners Lounge...
Did you drive over to HGVC Seaworld

How was the parking by Building Seven

What did you think of the area
just outside the HGVC gate..

Publixs, Subway, McDonald`s, Walgreens
Is the Dixie Stampede sitll open...


Did you pass by the new Hilton Grand
that they are building on Palm Parkway
Any info on when it might be opening?
 
I am not sure I understand this question. :)

HGVC does not upgrade like a hotel might, the units are all based on the amount of points used. For example a two bedroom in Platinum season goes for 7000 points and a three bedroom goes for 8400 points.

Unless you booked a cash reservation at hilton.com. I have heard of gold and diamond Hhonors members paying sub-$100 rates for a studio stay and being upgraded to 1 bedroom, like they would in any Hilton property!
 
Will they upgrade HGVC owners who are also Hilton Honors Diamond members? I thought about e-mailing my Hilton Honors number to the property ahead of time.

No... I may have heard about the odd special circumstance, but usually not. The space rented to the public for cash is the same space that we members trade in for different purposes/exchanges.
