I was only complaining about the actual room location. The hotel itself is good. Just put us in the tower until the construction is finished.

Guess I'm a cheapo slam clicker! You guys are right the location is great. I've only been there 3x but every time it's been loud and noisy. I'm just an old man who wants some sleep :).

Sorry man...I didn't mean for it to come across as a direct attack, it was more about general venting about guys that wish we were at the Hyatt full time.

Nah it's all good, didn't take it that way at all. I've just had bad experiences at the Hilton, but I would take it any day of the week over the Holiday Inn in MCO.

Because nobody asked, and just for fun...here are my top hotels we stay at the the worst we stay out, based on what I think about the hotel and access to things around...according to the pilot whose opinion matters most, me.:D

Best
San Diego
Portland (Crowne Plaza-better location than the other one)
Philly long
Boston long
Seattle


Worst
Denver short
Orlando short
Las Vegas
LA short
Chicago

I would agree with your best hotels.

In the worst category, I would remove Chicago and Las Vegas and add in Atlantic City and Tampa long. The Tampa hotel is in a decent location but it's so loud, there's always something loud going on. In Atlantic City, I like the location, but there's always some pre-teen cheerleading, dance or pep squad convention going on, it's always loud there as well.

Yeah.....I'm just not getting it. Its a wonder pilots are dubbed as a bunch of babies. Some just seem to have the need to complain about something. For the most part, I think we stay at some pretty kick-ass hotels. Maybe I'm just to easy to please. The Hilton is awesome! Like mentioned: close to beach, nice pool area, can stalk Mr. Spielberg on his yacht, great location.

Which does you little to no good when you arrive at 0800, have a van at 1700, have house keeping slamming doors and yelling at each other from three doors down, the drapes won't block the outside light, the a/c won't cool the room, and 500 drunk outbound cruise passengers are heading out the door. There couldn't be a worse redeye day sleep hotel.

Pretty good list. I would add BWI long, LAX long and MSY long to the best list and BOS short to the worst list. Might add MCO long to the worst list as well. Nice hotel but very isolated and not much to do within walking distance. ORD is a pretty sad excuse for a long layover but I don't know that I'd put it in the worst category just because it does function as a pretty good short layover hotel.

The customer service does suck at this hotel, seems we are always such an inconvenience for them, I just repay the attitude to them if I get it.

As far as the room being hot...watch the video and you'll go far in life

It will disable the motion detector on the AC and allow you to drop the cool down to 60 degrees
