This hotel is strange to look at. Everything is both dated and attempted to be modernized at the same time. Rooms are shoddily painted, doors are crooked, carpets are iffy. Pillows are flat. Lamp shades are bent, crooked, and cracked. The main issue I have is with the park and fly/park and sail and the shuttle to the port. When I originally… Read more
This hotel is strange to look at. Everything is both dated and attempted to be modernized at the same time. Rooms are shoddily painted, doors are crooked, carpets are iffy. Pillows are flat. Lamp shades are bent, crooked, and cracked. The main issue I have is with the park and fly/park and sail and the shuttle to the port. When I originally booked the hotel I asked lots of questions about the parking. Does my car need to go in a special lot/garage? (No) Is the per day charge cheaper than parking at the port? (Yes it is) Is the shuttle to the port included in the cost to park for the duration of our cruise? They TOLD me yes, but that was a lie. The shuttle is $13 per person and they take cash or card. Another issue is that all the shops and everything inside the hotel is cashless. We couldn’t break bills to smaller bills for tips for the bellhops and such. So they all got way better tips haha. Which I guess is fine. It just would have been nice to know. Bring small bills! Lastly, the night before we set sail, I called the concierge and asked “how long does it take from when we request a shuttle to get to the port? Not the drive time, the wait for the shuttle AND the drive time” I was told it takes 30 minutes for the full process. I was not asked if I would like to make a reservation, nor was I told a reservation for the shuttle was required. We left our room at 11:10am with a bellhop. One elevator was down, the other three were crammed. We ended up taking the stairs so others with luggage could take the elevator with our bellhop. The time to get from our room to the concierge desk was 25 minutes, arriving at the desk at 11:35am. Then the concierge asked if we had a reservation… obviously not. I apologized and asked what we should do. He advised me he could fit us on the 12:30pm shuttle, and that it’s $13 per person. I didn’t even argue, it’s not his fault the person last night was wrong. It’s now 12:20pm, we’re still waiting for the shuttle. It takes 15 minutes to get to the port, and they advise it’ll be an additional 30 minutes beyond that to get through the port to check in. Thank goodness we left at 11:10am to make our 1pm boarding group. If we had waited even a little bit, we would have missed our window. I’m typing this while waiting for the shuttle, so who knows, maybe we still will miss our window. To summarize: bring small bills, pay for the shuttle, and give yourself 2 hours to get from your hotel room to the ship. Read less

There was no water in the room. The hotel is nice and comfortable. It is not for vacation as there are two restaurants in the property. A little over a half a mile away are three fast food restaurants and an Italian restaurant. Ambiance and view at night was great.

I just stayed at Hilton Airport Blue Lagoon I am handicapped and travel with my husband for business meetings quarterly to this same hotel . This has been ongoing for two years. My handicap does not show. I have acute fatigue and difficulty walking. I stay in the room all day, therefore I order in food. I made arrangements with management on my first visit to have them either allow the delivery service to bring it up, or a hotel employee. Fast forward to this trip, I reminded them when we checked a In and it was confirmed by a front desk employee. I only ordered food twice. The first time there was a small issue, the second time the hotel forced me to come down to pick up the food, which is quite a significant challenge for me. Upon arriving at the desk I tried to explain the arrangement and was firmly told by the front desk that it was against policy,I spoke to a Manager that was both emotionless and compassionless and got no where. After 2 hours of phone calls to various Hilton resources I found Hilton Executive resources. They mediated with the Hotel and an exception was made for only this visit. I was very disappointed to find that the Hilton hotel chain is not handicap friendly or will to make an ongoing reasonable accommodation as requested in ADA rules for someone with a disability. I’m posting this in case someone with a disability or you have a loved one with a disability understands that you will not receive understanding or compassion from the Hilton Hotel brand Read less

This place needs a face-lift really, really bad. If you need to close your eyes and get some rest for ONE night between flights, then this place will serve its purpose. However, keep your eyes closed because the entire space is very tired. It was clean but is very dated.

One of the worst hotel experiences I have had since I can remember. It started with the shuttle from the airport. Supposedly it runs every 30 minutes. We were told the shuttle just left at 7. We waited 45 minutes for a shuttle that is 18 minutes away, max, in bad weather. On check-in, and no fault of the hotel but a very rude young man cut in… Read more
One of the worst hotel experiences I have had since I can remember. It started with the shuttle from the airport. Supposedly it runs every 30 minutes. We were told the shuttle just left at 7. We waited 45 minutes for a shuttle that is 18 minutes away, max, in bad weather. On check-in, and no fault of the hotel but a very rude young man cut in front of us. I asked him if he was checking in and he said yes. So I cut in right back. There were only two staff members and a line of guests from the miserable shuttle. When we got to the young woman at the desk she did not say a word and instead just looked at me blankly. I told her we were checking in. Still blank until my husband gave her our name. No customer service skills to speak of. I felt very unwelcome. To get something to eat at the restaurant was a nightmare. First come first serve to sit in a crowded bar. Rude wait staff. Extremely loud patrons. Again, no fault of the hotel. Just a lousy pre-vacation overnight stay. In my opinion, a two star Marriott would have been better. We cancelled our return stay and booked at another property. This place is awful. Read less
