The hotel

A sparkling new addition to the Kissimmee holiday scene, with everything you need for a theme park holiday (plus some rather fun perks thrown in on top). Located just three miles from the gates of Walt Disney World®, this brand new hotel features beautifully appointed rooms. Enjoy complimentary coffee from the café before you set off for the theme parks. When you return, you can soothe those ride-ravaged muscles with a soak in the heated outdoor pool and a float in its ultra-relaxing lazy river, or a stretch in the fitness room’s yoga zone, before tucking into homemade tortillas and fiery guacamole at its Mexican restaurant.

Great stay, 11 days, from start to finish. Hotel is clean, warm and comfortable, especially the beds. All staff from front of house to chamber maids, maintenance, lifeguards etc where very pleasant and friendly, and very helpful if we needed advice about anything on our first trip to the USA. There is plenty of car parking at the hotel. The pool area is lovely to sit and relax by inc. the lazy river, lifeguards were always on duty when we used it. On site laundry, very good and gym, shop for snacks, drinks and gifts, restaurant serving breakfast and evening meals with bar open throughout the day. Everything worked well in our room, there is a safe for valuables, a fridge and microwave if you don't want to eat out. I would recommend this hotel, and would definitely stay here again. Read less

I was greeted by Sabrina upon checking in and was skeptical in the beginning. But Sabrina was the best. Very professional, friendly and made my check in process quick. The room was fabulous and the bed was the perfect firmness. I had a view of the pool with the lazy river. Yeah! All thanks to Sabrina. Great addition to the team.

The overall experience at this hotel was fantastic. Checking in was easy, and the staff were very friendly on the few occasions we interacted. Parking was free, the only issue we had was if we got back late we had to park a bit further away from our room but of course that is not the hotels fault. The shop was great with everything you need for a getaway and the prices were reasonable. The laundry room was easy to use and we had no issues with this, which we have had at previous hotels. The pool was lovely, especially the spa pool which we used on multiple occasions. The lazy river is a nice bonus to a hotel which isn't an usual thing. We loved this hotel. However, the only one issue we experienced was one issue with the room, the bedsheets felt damp but other than that the room was great, very spacious and the shower was lovely. Great hotel and would definitely would recommend to anyone, especially if you do drive as it will be an issue to get to the parks if you do not. Read less

The Red Lion Hotel in Florida was great! We appreciated the restaurant downstairs which severed a buffet style breakfast, lunch, and dinner. We also enjoyed visiting Perkins which was in walking distance. Customer service was top notch. My only recommendation would be to update the shower heads.

The Red Lion Hotel in Florida was great! We appreciated the restaurant downstairs which severed a buffet style breakfast, lunch, and dinner. We also enjoyed visiting Perkins which was in walking distance. Customer service was top notch. My only recommendation would be to update the shower heads. The shower heads (Or at least the one in our room) had very little water pressure and you could tell it was outdated. The showerhead did not take away from the great experience though. I would highly recommend The Red Lion Hotel. Thank you! Read less
