has anyone picked a car up from alamo at the hilton opposite disney springs?

looking to see what people's experience was like picking up from alamo at the hilton opposite disney springs. would be within walking distance for us at saratoga but wondering if there would be more options and we would be better at Disney Car Care Centre?

Haven't done it but the advantage of a hotel pick up is they are invariably quiet.
However what you get is what you get! Hotels don't allow the rental agents to keep big stocks of cars as they clog up the car park.
They keep some cars for walk ins but invariably your booked car is brought in over night and parked up for you to collect.
Personally I would get the free shuttle from SSR to the CCC and get a bigger choice of car. They still tell you what you are having but you can ask them for something else.

When at SSR I use Alamo/Enterprise at Buena Vista Palace, which is directly opposite SSR side entrance. Very easy and in and out within 5 mins and never experienced any hard upselling. Allocated car is waiting for you and straight on the road.
I find this easier than arranging/waiting for pick ups etc

Is there a large choice at the CCC? When do you know what vehicle you would be getting? Previously just picked one from dozens at the airport, how many do they have at the CCC? Thanks

we are collecting ours from Avis, 1751 Hotel Plaza Boulevard Hilton Hotel Disney World, Lake Buena Vista

Im quite happy for their to be a single car allocated to us. We've ordered what we need, and it means there is no need for them to try and upsell us, hopefully we can just be in and out with no hassle.

It varies, sometimes there can be over 200, sometimes about 80. They do have every type though. I like it there albeit I haven't picked a car up just swapped one out due to a puncture.
Nice staff, calm check in area and they will try and accomodate you if you have a particular car in mind. No guarantees though.
