DoubleTree by Hilton Orlando Airport is a 348-room hotel about 2.5 to 3.5 road miles north of MCO’s Terminals A and B, with a free airport shuttle that Hilton lists as running 24 hours. It suits red-eye arrivals, early flights and the night before a Port Canaveral cruise, but the Disney parks are a 20-mile car ride away.

Quick answer: Book it for a short airport stay: self-parking is $22 a day, Booking.com showed no resort fee on three sample stays, and Go Port picks up cruise passengers outside the lobby for $29.99 per traveler. Breakfast is not included in every rate, pets are not allowed, and the hotel lists no theme park shuttle.

Location: 2.5 to 3.5 road miles north of MCO

The Terminal A and B curbs are about 2.5 to 3.5 road miles away, a 6- to 10-minute car ride without traffic. Hilton says 1.5 miles north of the airport and lists the airport at 2 miles, which look like straight-line figures.

Destination	By road	Time without traffic
MCO Terminals A and B	About 2.5 to 3.5 mi	6 to 10 min
MCO Terminal C and Brightline	About 4 to 4.5 mi	10 to 12 min
Lake Nona (USTA National Campus)	About 10 mi	About 20 min
Epic Universe parking	About 11 to 12 mi	19 to 20 min
Orange County Convention Center	About 11.5 to 12 mi	19 to 20 min
Universal’s main garages	About 12 to 13 mi	24 to 25 min
Disney Springs	About 17 mi (19 back)	25 to 30 min
EPCOT, Animal Kingdom, Magic Kingdom (TTC)	About 20 to 22.5 mi	32 to 36 min
Port Canaveral cruise terminals	About 45 to 46 mi	About 1 hour

Most of these routes use the SR 528 toll road. Booking.com’s description puts Walt Disney World 15 minutes away, but the Disney park lots take about 32 to 36 minutes by car without traffic.

The free airport shuttle: where it picks up at MCO

Hilton lists a complimentary “24 hr hotel shuttle” (May 2026 capture), and Booking.com also lists a free airport shuttle. Go Port’s package page for this hotel describes it as available on demand, 24 hours a day.

Hotel vans stop on Level 1 (Ground Transportation) at Commercial Lane spaces A1 to A4 and A42 to A45 at Terminal A, B1 to B4 and B40 at Terminal B, and C270 and C271 at Terminal C, per MCO’s hotel shuttle page on November 9, 2026. The train station uses spaces C7 and C8. Call the hotel at +1 407-856-0100 after you collect your bags, because Hilton publishes no timetable. The Orlando airport guide explains the terminal layout.

Rooms: kings, two queens and junior suites

Every room type has a mini refrigerator, a microwave, a coffee maker and a 50-inch HDTV in the feature lists of Hilton’s room pages (March 2026 capture). The descriptions of the shower-only king and queen rooms say 55-inch instead. Booking.com lists most rooms at 31 m² (about 334 sq ft), one accessible king at 28 m² (about 300 sq ft) and the junior suites at 46 m² (about 495 sq ft). No room type has a kitchen or a kitchenette.

Room type	Beds	Sleeps	Size (Booking.com)
1 King Bed	One king bed	2	About 334 sq ft
2 Queen Beds	Two queen beds	4	About 334 sq ft
Atrium View Balcony	One king or two queen beds	2 or 4	About 334 sq ft
Junior Suite with Sofabed	One king bed and a sofa bed	4	About 495 sq ft
Fitness Room	One king bed	3	About 334 sq ft

The balcony rooms face inward: Hilton describes an “interior balcony” with an atrium view. Junior suites add a living area with a sleeper sofa and a wet bar, and Hilton also lists a junior suite with an atrium balcony. The Five Feet to Fitness king room adds workout equipment and a touchscreen with Hilton workout videos.

Accessible kings have a roll-in shower or a tub; confirm the exact features you need. Booking.com states that there are no extra beds; cribs are free on request for children up to 2 years. No room sleeps more than 4, so larger families need two rooms. Hilton lists connecting rooms, subject to availability.

Pool and recreation

The hotel has one outdoor pool with cabanas and loungers, beside the glass atrium. Hilton’s hotel-info page flags the pool as heated (November 2025 capture), with no hours or water temperature. Hilton lists no water slide, splash pad or hot tub. Booking.com lists the pool as free, open all year and fenced, with no mention of heating.

The atrium holds the restaurant, the bar and lounge seating, an indoor option on rainy days. Booking.com also lists a pool table. There is no kids’ club.

Dining and breakfast

Breakfast is not free with every rate. Hilton’s hotel-info page lists a full breakfast “available for a fee” (November 2025 capture). On Booking.com, some rates included breakfast and others showed it at US$15 per person per night on November 9, 2026.

Hours from Hilton’s overview page (May 2026 capture); confirm them at check-in:

• Landings Bistro: breakfast buffet, 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. Monday to Friday and 6 a.m. to 11 a.m. on weekends.
• Landings 55: bar with food and cocktails, 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. daily.
• Made Market: Starbucks coffee, grab-and-go meals, snacks and drinks, 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily.

Room service is available, and Hilton lists the brand’s warm DoubleTree cookie on arrival.

Parking and fees

Self-parking costs $22 a day and valet parking $30 on Hilton’s overview page (May 2026 capture). Booking.com listed parking at US$22 per day on November 9, 2026. In-and-out privileges are included.

Hilton’s pages conflict on security. The parking policy says “Secured: Not available” and “Covered: Not available”, while the same page promotes Go Port Canaveral packages with “secure parking”. Ask how the lot is monitored before you leave a car for several days.

No resort fee appeared in Booking.com’s price breakdowns for stays on December 14 to 16, 2026, February 10 to 12, 2027 and April 5 to 6, 2027 (checked November 9, 2026). The only extras were 6% tax and a 6.50% city tax, which make the 12.5% Orlando hotel tax in Orange County.

True nightly cost: fees, parking and perks

With a car, DoubleTree by Hilton Orlando Airport adds $22 a night to your room rate before tax. Rates vary by season, availability and how far ahead you book. Published add-ons on November 9, 2026:

• DoubleTree by Hilton Orlando Airport: your rate + $0 resort fee + $22 parking = rate + $22 per night. Without a car, the add-on is $0.
• With breakfast for two: on a rate without breakfast, add 2 x US$15 = $30, so rate + $22 + $30 = rate + $52 per night with a car.
• Hyatt Regency Orlando International Airport: your rate + $19 self-parking per night, from MCO’s hotel guest parking page (November 9, 2026).
• Marriott Orlando Airport Lakeside: your rate + $0 resort fee + $30 parking = rate + $30 per night (Marriott’s page, November 9, 2026). Booking.com listed parking there at US$38 a day at last check, so confirm the rate.

Over four nights with a car and no breakfast, the DoubleTree add-ons come to 4 x $22 = $88. There are no theme park perks to offset them: no Early Theme Park Entry, no Universal Express Unlimited and no Early Park Admission. Hilton Honors discounts and points apply only to direct bookings with Hilton, not to Booking.com.

Cruise nights: Go Port shuttle to Port Canaveral

Go Port picks up cruise passengers outside the hotel lobby between 11 a.m. and 12 p.m. on embarkation day, for $29.99 per traveler, on its shuttle page for this hotel (checked November 9, 2026). The shared shuttle may stop elsewhere before your ship’s terminal.

Go Port’s Fly Snooze Cruise package page for this hotel lists 10:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., so use the time on your confirmation.

• Family of four: 4 x $29.99 = $119.96 one way.
• Return to MCO: shuttles leave the port from 7 a.m. as ships finish debarkation, and Go Port does not recommend flights before 11 a.m.
• Other times: Go Port’s counter on Level 1 of Terminal A runs shuttles from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m., and the hotel van can take you there.

If you drive, Port Canaveral charges $20 per day plus tax, counting the day you arrive and the day you leave: a 7-night cruise is 8 days, or $160 plus tax. Go Port’s Snooze Park Cruise list did not include this hotel on November 9, 2026. Compare Orlando hotels with cruise shuttle service and Orlando to Port Canaveral drive times, shuttles and parking.

Transport to the theme parks

The hotel lists no theme park shuttle, so plan on a rental car, a taxi or rideshare. The free van can take you back to MCO’s rental car counters.

• Universal and Epic Universe: about 11 to 13 miles, 19 to 25 minutes by car. Universal’s parking is $35 a day including tax.
• Disney World: about 20 to 22.5 miles, 32 to 36 minutes by car. Disney’s standard parking is $35 a day.
• Mears Connect: this paid airport shuttle serves Disney-area hotels only, not this hotel.

Amenities: fitness, Wi-Fi and services

Wi-Fi is free in rooms and the lobby, according to Hilton and Booking.com. Hotel photos show treadmills, free weights and a bench in the fitness center.

• Services: 24-hour front desk, baggage storage, business center and meeting rooms.
• Times: check-in at 4 p.m. and check-out at 11 a.m. (Hilton and Booking.com). Go Port’s page shows 3 p.m., so confirm early arrival with the hotel.
• Age and pets: Hilton and Booking.com list a minimum check-in age of 18. Pets are not allowed; service animals are welcome.

Who DoubleTree Orlando Airport suits

The hotel works best for one or two nights tied to a flight or a cruise, for couples and families of up to 4. Lake Nona, the USTA National Campus and Nemours are about 10 miles away. It is a weak base for a theme park week, with the Disney parks 20 miles or more away and no park shuttle.

Book it if:

• You land late or fly early and want a free shuttle that Hilton lists as running 24 hours.
• You want no resort fee: Booking.com’s breakdowns showed only the 12.5% tax.
• You sail from Port Canaveral and want a Go Port pickup outside the lobby for $29.99 per traveler.

Skip it if:

• You want to walk to the check-in counters with no shuttle. The Hyatt Regency Orlando International Airport is inside the main terminal; see its rates link below.
• You want an indoor pool as well as an outdoor one. Marriott Orlando Airport Lakeside has both; see its rates link below.

Pros

• Free airport shuttle listed as running 24 hours.
• No resort fee on Booking.com’s price breakdowns.
• Self-parking at $22 a day, with in-and-out privileges.
• Go Port cruise pickup outside the lobby.
• A microwave and a mini refrigerator in every room.

Limitations to know

• Breakfast is not included in every rate.
• No theme park shuttle, and the Disney parks are 20 miles or more away.
• Rooms sleep 4 at most, with no extra beds.
• Pets are not allowed.
• The lot is listed as not secured and not covered.
• Balcony rooms face the indoor atrium, not the outdoors.

What to check before you book

• Breakfast: compare a rate with breakfast against one without. At US$15 per person, breakfast for four people costs $60 a day.
• Shuttle: confirm the van runs at your flight time and where it stops at your terminal.
• Cruise parking: Hilton publishes no long-term parking offer, so ask whether you can leave a car for your sailing and at what daily rate.
• Room type: for 3 or 4 people, book two queen beds or a junior suite.

Budget for breakfast unless your rate includes it, and book a hotel near the parks for the rest of your trip.
