B Resort or Hilton Orlando BV Palace at DS

[Duck143]

We can stay at either one for only a few dollars difference. Which would you go with and why? We already have B Resort booked and I checked with Disney Chat to make sure we're all set for FP booking and we are.
Thanks as always for your advice!

I haven't stayed at the B Resort and Spa...at least not since it's been operating under that brand. But, I have stayed at the Hilton Orlando Buena Vista Palace. Unfortunately, it's on my personal "Do Not Return" list.

My last stay at that Hilton was during their public space renovation. They did a great job in updated those public spaces. The pool is much nicer than any of the other Disney Springs Hotels pools (including the B Resort and Spa).

Unfortunately, the main tower room I was assigned was horrifyingly dirty. It was the dirtiest room I've stayed in over the past 3 decades. The bathroom was revolting. I checked out after one night.

I do not believe that they have renovated any of their rooms since that time. The huge renovation only fixed the public spaces.

Note: This is only my personal opinion. Other people on this forum have stayed there without experiencing what I did.

Thank you for your opinion! I hope their rooms are better than what you experienced. That sounds awful!

We just spent 3 nights at the BV Palace. It was fine. I actually liked the room design, though the lobby was a bit claustrophobic.

The rooms were clean enough - sheets and carpets were fine, bathroom fine except that the soap dish in the shower clearly hadn't been cleaned, the curtains were dirty. The staff were great and responded quickly when we asked them to fix the items that needed improvement. The coffee maker was good, but the soap and shampoo sizes were pretty small.

Lazy river was great for a hotel pool. Good location, too. In fact, it's the main reason I would return to this location.

I was relieved to have a good experience after reading about PP bad experience there. Overall, we were pretty satisfied.

Thank you for your update. I'm glad you had a nice stay and the staff fixed the issues for you.
