Filthy rooms, hostile staff, slow service

Xuefeng G on Apr 19, 2025

This place has everything a horrible resort has: cold staff, extremely slow service, and filthy rooms! Both front desk agents I spoke with were exceedingly rude and impatient. The lady who checked me in w...as the worst I have ever dealt with in a five star hotel. She was so condescending and impatient that I felt I was being forced to just leave. Order a pizza and be prepared to wait 30 minutes, even when it's not busy at all! See the picture for a pair of dried contact lenses on the night stand left there God knows how long ago. Also a bag of dirty towels that sat in the hall the entire two days we were there.

Wonderful stay and outstanding service!

Lawrence N on Apr 17, 2025

We had a fantastic stay at the Loews Portofino Hotel in Orlando, but what truly stood out to us was the exceptional service we received from Angel at the hotel gift shop. On April 14, she went above and be...yond to help us troubleshoot a toy for our son that wasn’t working properly. Her patience, kindness, and problem-solving attitude made such a difference during our trip. It’s rare to come across someone so attentive and genuinely helpful. Angel’s warmth and dedication left a lasting impression on our family, and we are so grateful for her support. Experiences like this are what make a great stay even more memorable. Thank you, Angel!
