Staybridge Suites Orlando at SeaWorld

Wow, what a surprise. We found this place on Hotels.com and booked it because of the proximity to Sea World. SO glad we did! It is clean, very spacious and quite affordable. It is also walkable to Sea World if you don't have kids that are too small. The hotel is very close to anything on earth you want to eat just down I-Drive. I highly recommend this hotel! Read less

When I checked in the first thing I noticed was the smelly shower curtain. I called front desk and it was replaced that same day. My second day, I skipped room cleaning since I'll be doing work and need the room almost all day without interruption. On the third day, I requested cleaning but I noticed it was haphazardly done. Bathroom was replenished with only 1 set of towels, bathmat was not replaced, no new soap and amenities placed, and beds were not properly done with pillows left all over the sofa in living room. The housekeeper seemed to be in a rush cleaning the room. On fifth day, I took off the "Do not disturb" sign at 12 noon and came back at night with room not cleaned. The housekeeper seemed to not have bothered re-checking if the room is available for cleaning. Overall, the hotel is good but I cannot understand its housekeeping standards, bordering on really poor rating. Read less

Stayed here 6 nights for a Seaworld Vacation for our family of 4 in a One Bedroom Suite. Hotel was in Like New condition and very clean. Housekeeping staff was great at cleaning the room and providing all necessary services. The front desk attendants and concierge very friendly but didn't provide much information and sometimes provided incorrect information. Pool was typical for a hotel but clean and refreshing even though its right beside the parking lot. There are several items that need improvement though. First the kitchen in the room was not adequately stocked for any type of use. There was a total of 2 forks, 3 spoons, 4 glasses, and 4 plates provided. No pans and just 2 pots for cooking. Kitchen cabinets look nice in the pictures but almost all are completely empty. Don't expect to do any cooking in these kitchens as they are mostly just for looks. The provided breakfast was OK but typical hotel style buffet. Powdered eggs, turkey sausage, waffles, some canned fruit, cereals, and pastries. Its OK for 1 or 2 days but afterwards you'll want to go out to breakfast for some variety and better quality food. Also the breakfast serving staff is pretty much non-communicative so don't except any service from them. The shuttle to the parks runs infrequently so we walked most of the time from the SeaWorld entrance back to the hotel which is over half a mile (almost a KM). Also the shuttle takes about 30 minutes to get there because it visits about 6 more hotels before going to the parks and it gets very crowded. Annoying that you can see the entrance to Seaworld from the hotel but takes half an hour to get there. We were told that parking at SeaWorld wasn't included in our Vacation package by the concierge but afterwards I discovered that it was when we returned home. Would have saved a lot of time and energy if we hadn't been told that parking at SeaWorld was $20 extra a day. Overall it was a decent stay at this hotel, especially for the price that we paid, but don't except too much. If we did it again we would pay a little more to stay at a resort property or bigger hotel but if you are looking for a bargain property this Staybridge is a good choice. Also SeaWorld was great! All the shows were fabulous! Loved the Manta Roller-coaster, one of my all time favs! Read less
