Two stays and one not very nice. I blame ownership and management. Not staff.

My experience here was mixed room itself was fine. Location good and shuttle and driver are both excellent. The staff were friendly but I was surprised about how liberal the management is and a really bad service episode too. The front desk staff dressed like star wars characters?

My experience here was mixed room itself was fine. Location good and shuttle and driver are both excellent. The staff were friendly but I was surprised about how liberal the management is and a really bad service episode too. The front desk staff dressed like star wars characters? Should that not be for their own time. Not while on duty? Kind of silly as most proper hotels have dress codes. Likely its just a slide when you don’t pay proper wages you get disinterested kids. I personally blame management and ownership on this. Where is proper training? I was sick one night on a stay here and I called down to speak I guess to a kid on duty (the only one on duty at 2:00 am) and asked for extra water and towels because I was being sick. He said he could not leave his post. He could have pit up a back in 5 sign but again not trained probably and only one on duty. So I slept on the saturated towels on the floor in the washroom. Do I blame him. Not really he is just the symptom of a much bigger problem at this property. Where are the parents and owners..? Maybe the managers are also kids with giant student loans… anyway if you don’t expect much this place might work out for you. On the shuttle leaving was the good part. I hope to never stay here again. Read less

Freddy is the man! absolutely the best bar tender i have ever had. i would 100% come back here if freddy is here . very intuitive listens to everything and anything you need. he’s on the job at all times and the drinks he makes are fantastic! 10/10 would recommend if freddy is your bartender
It was just " ok"

This hotel is very dated. Semi clean. Could use a.little more work. We got this hotel after our flights were cancelled and settled for it. On a busy highway near airport but not many more amenities Hotel has cheap flooring and tries to look updated. It was just mid line. Not great but not terrible either. Pool was heated but could use updates

Our last minute booking at Holiday Inn was due to our flights being delayed twice, then eventually cancelled. By the time we arrived at the hotel, we were exhausted. Our energy was revived upon our check-in as soon as we met Amy! Her professionalism and friendly personality swiftly diffused our ‘attitudes’ immediately! We had a total of three rooms on the 7th floor, all with King-sized beds. The rooms were spacious and very clean. Multiple power outlets were available. Bathroom was well stocked. Facility is less than 3 miles from MCO Airport. It has a bar, restaurant, snack center and a pool. There is also a Charging Station, Computers and Microwave located in the lobby for guests to use. Onsite parking for a fee. Easy access to convenience store and restaurants. If I return to the MCO/Orlando area, this specific location will be my preferred choice for accommodations.

Great Shuttle, Hotel Not So Much ............

We stayed here for a single night landing at MCO late, after our car rental company closed for the evening. Our plan was to take the shuttle to the hotel, sleep and then shuttle back in the morning to pick up our car. The shuttle was fantastic, both to and from the airport. Quick (like a 10 minute ride), and the drivers were extremely friendly.… قراءة المزيد
We stayed here for a single night landing at MCO late, after our car rental company closed for the evening. Our plan was to take the shuttle to the hotel, sleep and then shuttle back in the morning to pick up our car. The shuttle was fantastic, both to and from the airport. Quick (like a 10 minute ride), and the drivers were extremely friendly. The young lady who checked us in was also great: friendly and made us feel welcome. The room was not great: an over powering chemical smell that if we has to guess was used to cover up the smell of smoke and / or pot: my wife. No hot water (luke warm at best), dirty carpets, dated furnishings, etc. Also, although it didn't effect us, they charge for parking which seems odd for an airport property that's not downtown, If you could take the shuttle service to a different (nicer) hotel, you would have a winner!
