We booked this hotel through Virgin Holidays to benefit from a close location to Disney, with a free shuttle bus and breakfast to save money upon arrival. Unfortunately the hotel did not live up to our expectations and I'm sad to say we really did not enjoy our stay after paying out more money due to lack of appropriate detail given to customers in advance. 1. The 'free park shuttle bus' does not cater for people with young children (it does not take strollers), so this left us driving to the parks paying $25 / day in parking to take our daughters pram. 2. The 'free breakfast' is extremely basic. Toast, cereal and on some days egg, bacon or sausage. It was very unclear that this was not a full breakfast so again we had to drive out for something locally. 3. The toilet flush, bedroom light and showerhead were not working correctly during our stay, which maintenance kindly sorted as soon as we advised them. 4. The bedroom curtains looked like they had been eaten by moths with holes in them. 5. There were small ants crawling on the wooden bedside table and kitchen table throughout our stay. Maintenance sprayed these but they were back the next morning. 6. For a non smoking hotel, there were stains and cigarette burns on the entrance hall carpet. 7. Buses used the hotel car park most mornings arriving between 5.30-6.00am and left engines making noises turning around waking up the residents. We were offered a different room for the problems, but as it was coming close to going home and viewing some of the other rooms, this would not have been an option. On a positive note, on our last evening we did attend the snacks and wine evening which is a very lovely evening. Unfortunately, our stay had already been tarnished by this point. Read less

There is a social evening on selected nights where the host Mayra will make you extremely welcome, she is friendly and always on hand to inform you about the local area - a credit to the hotel 😁 The location is in the middle of most attractions and there are plenty of places to eat close by. All in all a great place to stay. Read less

The hotel is great. Excellent selection at breakfast. Mayra is a very friendly and informative member of the team. Hot tub is very welcomed after a long day in the parks. Only downside is the shuttles to the parks are nearly always late.

This is our second visit to Hawthorn Suites and we love the place - it’s a great location, the staff are helpful - especially Mayra - always there to welcome you at social hour and really great with the kids - also gives great hints and tips. The hotel is clean and our room was cleaned every day with the kids things and pjs folded up. The breakfast is fine and good to get you started - if you are expecting a full English breakfast then this is not it - but there is plenty of cereal and options to make toast - nothing wrong with it at all - if you want a full breakfast there is a Perkins and a IHOP up the road. It’s a great place for a base with plenty of restaurants close by - Disney Springs is about $6 in an Uber / Lyft - can get to all the parks easily. Great value for money and would definitely return.

The hotel was great for the rate and close to the parks, the only little concern which has nothing to do with the hotel is the shuttle company providing service to the parks, bus driver was driving the bus without a seat belt and with a cell phone, on one hand, watching the President impeachment coverage.

The hotel was great for the rate and close to the parks, the only little concern which has nothing to do with the hotel is the shuttle company providing service to the parks, bus driver was driving the bus without a seat belt and with a cell phone, on one hand, watching the President impeachment coverage. I thought that was unsafe for all passengers and kids on the bus, I'm sure someone else has taken notice or even recorded a video in case of an accident or problem. Other then the shuttle service the staff from the hotel was great, Read less
