Units are a little outdated, but amenities are great. When called for services they responded quickly. Staff was great but long lines to check-in.Great Location close to Disney and all parks I highly recommend. Look at at 2nd market to buy, worth the money if your a Disney person!

My family and I are owners for over 20 years. This is the first (and last) time I will stay in the East Village. I was very disappointed with the condition of the room, it is extremely dated and worn. It is time for the Resort to upgrade these rooms. We enjoyed our stay, just not the condition of the room.

My family and I are owners for over 20 years. This is the first (and last) time I will stay in the East Village. I was very disappointed with the condition of the room, it is extremely dated and worn. It is time for the Resort to upgrade these rooms. We enjoyed our stay, just not the condition of the room. I have pictures to show the damaged dining room chairs, the mold in the main bathroom suite, the tired and stained rug and the TV that needed to be upgraded years ago and the remotes that never work. Also, upon checking in they now have you go onto another line to get your room key and parking pass. This is an unnecessary waste so they can get you to purchase theme park tickets. Not all of us staying need them. Read less

I am here now on my third day of vacations with a group of family members. This place is beautiful. I didn’t know what to expect and read some unpleasant reviews so I was nervous. The place is so clean and the rooms are so spacious and everything we needed! We travel a lot and have high expectations. So far I haven’t seen one thing to complain about! Yes the line to check in is long but that is everywhere now due to covid protocols. It’s the new way of life everyone needs to adjust to for at least a little while. But even so, they had every single counter open and did their best to get people in and out. I have timeshares to many places and this is one I may consider in the future. Every staff member so far has been a pleasure. The pools are clean. The grounds are immaculate. I’m impressed and will be back . Read less

I checked into Holiday Inn Orange Lakes last night and it was by far the worst check-in process I have ever experienced. Walked in the door to check-in @ 7:13pm and didn’t walk out till 9:14pm. At the first desk, we informed the rep we needed a building with an elevator. Proving this reasonable accommodation is pretty basic customer service. She assured us we would in a building with an elevator. We signed a paper and got our packet with the resort map and room number. After “checking-in”, she said we had to wait in another line to get the keys and parking pass. I told her I had my 5 kids waiting in the car and they were hungry and tired from the long day of traveling so if could she just give me the keys and I would come back for the parking pass. She said no I had to go to the other line. Now I have been a timeshare owner for 10 years so I already know the other line to get a parking pass is a marketing strategy but have never had my room keys that I paid for held hostage over a time share presentation..That line took over 1 1/2 hours. By the time I got back to the car, all of the kids were starving and exhausted. We rush to get them to the building just to find out that it does NOT have an elevator. At this point, I couldn’t make the kids go back to check-in. Both my 4 and 5 year old passed out before we could even get them something to eat. I am hoping to go to check-in this morning and Holiday Inn Orange Lakes will correct the issue. Read less
