We stayed here for ten days. There was no resort fee, no car parking charge, and that alone can be pricey.

The best thing about this hotel was the location on international drive, just across the road from pointe Orlando. The hotel is very clean and the buffet breakfast is excellent. The staff also did go the extra mile as we had to contact a doctor and our insurance company whilst on this holiday, and they were exceptional nothing was a problem. Would highly recommend this hotel in every way. Read less

Location of this hotel is great. I would say it is in the more upscale end of Idrive (opposite The Pointe) away from the 1.99 t shirt stores. But an I trolley stop right outside the hotel - so minutes away from the action. Plenty of nice places to eat at The Pointe as well. Rooms were clean, fairly modern, and housekeeping was good.

Location of this hotel is great. I would say it is in the more upscale end of Idrive (opposite The Pointe) away from the 1.99 t shirt stores. But an I trolley stop right outside the hotel - so minutes away from the action. Plenty of nice places to eat at The Pointe as well. Rooms were clean, fairly modern, and housekeeping was good. Pool area was nice , pool was warm, well kept, and plenty of towels. CVS next door which was very handy. Staff all friendly. My only criticism was that the hotel held an event that I wouldn't call family friendly. Lots of young people dressed in close to bondage gear and smoking funny stuff outside the front of the hotel. Perhaps the hotel didn't know who they were booking. Great location - would stay again. Read less

Stayed at this hotel before, but this time it was a big disappointment. Room was tiny and the two of us were colliding constantly. There was no suitable furniture for putting luggage on, so living out of suitcase, or even unpacking/packing, was impossible. The refrigerator in our room didn't work, so we called for help and the young man argued… Read more
Stayed at this hotel before, but this time it was a big disappointment. Room was tiny and the two of us were colliding constantly. There was no suitable furniture for putting luggage on, so living out of suitcase, or even unpacking/packing, was impossible. The refrigerator in our room didn't work, so we called for help and the young man argued with us about whether the fridge was working or not. (It wasn't cold.) Parking was $22 a day for regular or $28 a day for valet, both a rip-off. Never again! Read less

I have visited Orlando many times over the years and by far this is the best hotel I have stayed in. I booked two rooms and upon arrival we were upgraded to Junior suite. The hotel is awesome with very friendly staff. The rooms were updated and everything looked very upscale with high end decor. The room had microwave, Keurig, Refrigerator, mini kitchen and a Safe. The Parking lot was huge and yet almost full. It took me couple minutes to find a spot but over all I would definitely stay here next time I am in Orlando. I have stayed in Marriott, Westin, and Disney hotels in the past but this one surpasses all of them. I would very highly recommend this hotel. Read less
