Disappointing for a 4* Hotel
Jan 25, 2025Melva MWalsall, United Kingdom
On arrival we was hit with an unadvertised deposit of $25 per adult per night for the duration of your stay. We were advised the deposit would be given back on you checking out on your last day. We have been to numerous hotels around the world and thought the 4* rating for this hotel was over-rated. My room wasn’t cleaned for 3 days during our… Read more
On arrival we was hit with an unadvertised deposit of $25 per adult per night for the duration of your stay. We were advised the deposit would be given back on you checking out on your last day. We have been to numerous hotels around the world and thought the 4* rating for this hotel was over-rated. My room wasn’t cleaned for 3 days during our week stay and I had to ask for clean towels on those 3 days when we arrived back late in the evening. I brought breakfast twice and was disappointed as there was very little choice. The hotel is located at the other end of International Drive from the main activities. If we visit Orlando again (this was our 2nd visit) we will not return to this hotel. The pool area was nice. Read less

Great location. Nice updated rooms. Buffet breakfast is OK. Some staff can be rude, especially those at Java coffee. Pool area nice. Cocktails at the pool are good value compared to some hotels.

An disappointed trip

While this hotel has a great location and looks good on the outside, the experience inside was extremely disappointing. The front desk staff had a terrible attitude and acted like they didn’t even want to be there. Basic amenities were lacking—there wasn’t even a hairdryer in the room.

While this hotel has a great location and looks good on the outside, the experience inside was extremely disappointing. The front desk staff had a terrible attitude and acted like they didn’t even want to be there. Basic amenities were lacking—there wasn’t even a hairdryer in the room. The gym cost $15, but the equipment was outdated and not worth the price. On top of that, there was no free breakfast, and they charged around $30 for just one meal. Definitely not worth the money. Wouldn’t recommend staying here. Read less
Great location for the Orange County Convention Centre

This hotel is a great location for the convention centre. Rooms are very specious, clean and fresh. Most staff were friendly and our only disappointment was the food, 7 restaurants is not entirely factual. We ordered food one night in the bar but sadly ended up leaving as it still had not arrived after 40mins and chasing. If this part of the… Read more

Hotel Stay for Conference at Convention Center
Oct 29, 2024luckyducky1234United States
No major issues with the hotel. I actually stayed here before years ago. It was much more empty than years ago. I gave this an average rating for a few reasons. 1. Even though its is connected to the convention center, it is a LONG walk. 2. The restaurants were unattended for ordering multiple times. A positive is the Walgreens only a minute away… Read more
No major issues with the hotel. I actually stayed here before years ago. It was much more empty than years ago. I gave this an average rating for a few reasons. 1. Even though its is connected to the convention center, it is a LONG walk. 2. The restaurants were unattended for ordering multiple times. A positive is the Walgreens only a minute away / across the street. If you are torn between this hotel and the Hyatt Regency Orlando, I preferred the Hyatt Regency Orlando. Read less
