I will start by saying that this was the nicest of several five star hotels I stayed at in Orlando.

The lobby area is very elegant, although somewhat small.

The staff at the front desk were very friendly, although check in seemed to take longer than it should have given that only a few people were waiting.

Breakfast was delicious. One minor observation was that I was given a specific promised delivery time for my order, with staff stating it would arrive \"at or before\" a certain time. That commitment was missed by about three to four minutes. Not a big deal in itself, but it did leave me wondering why a firm time was promised rather than simply providing an estimate.

The room (a suite) was pristine, and the beds were very comfortable. It also had a nice view of both the golf course and the pool grounds, which were very well maintained.

The only negative item that genuinely stood out, and was not simply a minor nitpick, was the condition of the carpet outside the service doors. It appeared worn, stained, and somewhat dirty. Unfortunately, because the rest of the property is maintained to such a high standard, it was particularly noticeable and felt out of place. It likely would have gone largely unnoticed at a lesser establishment, but here it stood out visually against an otherwise exceptional experience.

Eventually may be nice to have sundries shop, another restaurant but great hotel. Also suggest a few suites with washer dryer would be helpful.

This visit was not as good as my prior stay. Room was stuffy with poor internet connection on the tv. Staff made customers wait to be seated for breakfast even though it was half empty.

The staff, especially the manager was amazing. Expedia canceled part of our stay with the hotel, did not inform us, nor did they issue a refund. We found this out at 1am upon arrival. First, staff said they couldn’t help us and we were left without a room. Luckily the manager was able to handle everything and honor the stay. Although bumpy at first, the Waldorf exceeded expectations.

Room was absolutely clean, service was awesome.On the downside, I would say-

Second and Most important -
After travelling down to Orlando for almost 12 hours when We reached hotel and thought of taking bath but to our utter surprise, there was no hot water in the shower and water was just kind of dripping from it. When we contacted front desk, we were informed that they are sending engineer to repair. We asked them to change our rooms then they should get it repaired by themselves.
This is something we never expected in Waldorf hotel, which is a renowned name in hotel industry. .

Absolutely unacceptable. Paying this kind of money, only to be jolted awake at 5:30 a.m. by what sounds like an elementary school in session, is outrageous. The constant noise from children in multiple nearby rooms made it impossible to rest, and the manager’s response was equally disappointing—complete indifference, aside from asking which room to call. I did not spend $500 to be disturbed at dawn or to deal with management that clearly lacks any sense of responsibility toward guests’ comfort. This hotel has completely failed to meet even the most basic expectations, and I will not be returning or recommending it to anyone.

Hotel is nice enough. Main turn off was that there was dirt and hair found under the blanket - indicating that the sheets were not replaced from the previous guest. I have experienced this in 3 - 3.5 star hotels post-covid as housekeeping is getting lazier. There were sugar granules on the counter next to the coffee machine too indicating a lack of thorough cleaning. When i alerted the staff they took care of it within the hour but provided nothing more than some feigned remorse - which is less than i expect from a Waldorf.

My fiance and I stayed at the King suite with the balcony view. The room was very clean and smelled great, the bed was comfy, and the view from the balcony was awesome. The room itself was just fine, no complaints there.

Minor issues incoming.

No microwave. For the money we paid, we felt a microwave should be included.

Parking. Unless you pay for valet parking, you have to park several minutes away at a parking garage. This can be a little inconvenient when you have to carry several bags back and forth, and also if you decide to leave for dinner, you have to carry your food all the way back to the room. This is where not having a microwave comes into play.

The lazy river....we were really looking forward to this one, and while it was fine, there are way too many water fountains spraying water around the river that kind of detract from the experience. You're trying to relax, but when you constantly have water spraying on your face and body, it's hard to take the experience in.

Besides that, we enjoyed our stay. Again, these are minor details we wanted to address, and don't want to make anyone think we had a bad time.

Not five-star service, especially around F&B

Check-in was painfully slow with long lines, which set the tone. The room itself was large and comfortable, but the biggest miss was food and beverage. Brunch options are very limited and lunch felt heavy and inflexible. At 11:00 a.m. we were refused a simple eggs-and-toast request because breakfast had just ended—surprising at a hotel claiming five-star service. The little café with ice cream and matcha shakes is a nice touch, but it doesn’t make up for the lack of a proper late-morning menu.

Staffing also seemed thin: on a Saturday night there was only one doorman and no bellman available to bring a delivery to the room. Overall, this felt like a solid four-star property—not a true five-star. I wouldn’t choose it again. Four Seasons (and even Grand Floridian) delivered a far superior experience. I can’t think of a reason to return unless there are no other options.
