"Everithing was great"

Home2 Suites by Hilton Orlando at Flamingo Crossings

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was great, room was clean, breakfast menu has so many options even for vegetarian people. The only thing need to improve is service efficiency. The carpet in my room was sticky from one side looks like somebody spills something before I checked-in and I requested for cleaning like 4 time but nobody showed up during my 4 day stay."
