I stayed here for a conference that was at another hotel near by.

The Garden Inn was your ordinary hotel, had a mini fridge and microwave in the room but didn't use them much.

There is not a whole lot nearby in walking distance. Considering the weather during this time I was there it was raining every other hour which makes it a wet walk to anywhere, even across the street.

The I-drive shuttle stops not too far from the hotel, but didn't utilize it as I had other plans for the evenings. SeaWorld is close, but I wouldn't say it's within walking distance to it.

The bar had some live music on some of the nights I was there, but was typical. The restaurant had typical type hotel food.

It was typical, nothing special to rave about. The staff were cool and didn't run into any issues other than the weather.

We booked this hotel quite last minute as the one we had previously booked had some vey bad reviews on tripadvisor.
This place was perfect for us, if you have a car.
You can walk to sea world in 5 minutes to the entrance and the hotel is hilton standard - everything is clean, tidy and the staff are helpful and friendly. The room was a good size also and was very comfortable. Althought the pool is a little small it was big enough for when we were there. At night we could sneak down to the lobby and get snacks from the mini mart there which was very handy for those midnight feasts.
Some people do tend to put a pros and cons to their stays but to be honest i cant think of any "cons" so Im giving this hotel a 5 star.
As said the location is perfect and you are only a few hundred yards from I4 so good for getting to other locations.

We stayed at the Hilton for 3 nights. Check in was a breeze and the staff was very friendly and helpful. We only ate breakfast at the hotel and it was a buffet and for the price it was great. We were very happy. The room was wonderful and clean and we loved having a fridge and microwave. In the evenings there were fresh baked cookies at the front desk. Wonderful. We also loved the fact that we could walk to SeaWorld! We had a view of Kraken from our room! Our stay also included a $10 gas card which right now is wonderful. A wonderful stay for sure.

My family and I spent four nights at the Hilton during the last week December. Check in was easy. Our room was clean and the hotel was very quiet. We enjoyed the quiet part, but we also appreciated the room in which to move around. Parking was never an issue. The hotel is in the middle of everything on International Drive. Close to shopping, restaurants, Universal Studios and I-4. Overall a great stay. Would definitely stay there again.
