The hotel

An iconic Orlando resort just 1.5 miles from Walt Disney World, the Orlando World Center Marriott has fun-for-all down to a tee.  Whizz down 7 thrilling waterslides, and take a dip in our 400,000 gallon lagoon pool or float your worries away in our 575-foot lazy river.  Little explorers will enjoy a space designed just for them while the adults will taste tropical libations hand crafted and delivered right to their pool chair.  Treat yourself to some R&R in the spa, or tee up a round of golf, both just steps from your room.  Dine in 10 unique outlets, including a grab and go pantry, and a lively sports pub plus monthly culinary special events.  Getting to the magic is easy with our scheduled shuttle service and you are just a short drive away from shopping, dining and nightlife.  Whatever adventures you are seeking on your next getaway, make Orlando World Center Marriott your destination.

Stayed here for 1 night with the family and it was a good experience. The hotel is very clean and the staff was very good. It does get very busy with the conference so be wary of dining options. The pool and lazy river were fun for the whole family.

I knew something would be off on this trip when I laid down the first night and my pillow smelled like sunscreen, which could only mean they didn’t wash the sheets or didn’t wash them well.

I knew something would be off on this trip when I laid down the first night and my pillow smelled like sunscreen, which could only mean they didn’t wash the sheets or didn’t wash them well. I was there for a business meeting and the restaurants are all medium quality/premium price and not impressive when trying to entertain customers. The relatively small gym was packed, even at 4, with 3 out of 10 treadmills broken, forcing me to wait around for equipment to use. Bar was nice with elevated drinks, but closed strictly at midnight, even when 100s of people are standing and sitting around, obviously wanting more. It’s like they don’t want the money in that department. Then on the last day I needed a noon checkout and it was not granted. I have gold status which should allow a 2pm checkout, but no go here. I told the manager, Derek, that I needed it and cannot leave by 11. He actually threatened me with forcible removal should I not be out by 11. He explained that if I do not leave the room at 11, police would arrest me and my bags would be packed for me. I could not believe my ears. Especially since we had just spend 10s of thousands of dollars at their hotel. Now, 8 days later, I still haven’t been given points or nights for my 4 night stay. Not that it matters much. Myself and my company will no longer use Marriott because of this. I just cancelled a summer meeting at a different Marriott, giving a very nice Hilton 20 rooms for three nights instead. This Marriott did a masterful job of losing a customer for life. Read less

You have to walk all the convention building to get to self park. You can always ask for valet which is convenient. Read less

Truly a vacation-killer. The worst hotel experience I've had. The rooms and amenities are nice, but very expensive. They over-charge you at every chance. Expect to pay over $100 more than the published price. Also the "laser light show" that was advertised in the room view cost, had no lasers (broken) any of the 3 nights I stayed there.

Truly a vacation-killer. The worst hotel experience I've had. The rooms and amenities are nice, but very expensive. They over-charge you at every chance. Expect to pay over $100 more than the published price. Also the "laser light show" that was advertised in the room view cost, had no lasers (broken) any of the 3 nights I stayed there. Imagine having spent $500+ a night, and then having mobs of inner city teens screaming down the halls all hours of the night, knocking on random doors, keeping your family up past 3am, hotel staff not caring to quiet them and then trying to blame you. There are many nice hotels in the Orlando area with great pools. Stay away from this one! Read less

Great mini vacation. Check in was smooth and service was great. Valet and bellhop were right there to help us when we pulled up. Our room was a 2 queen room over looking the water park. We had 2 rooms. The room was clean. The bed did have a stain on the comforter , looked like it may have been a coffee stain. I didn’t feel like wasting time to get it changed and just took it off. My kids were eager to get to the water park. One design I didn’t like is the sink/bathroom. I would have preferred a door on the area. Drink cooler worked well for our soda and water. We only asked house keeping for towels and they were helpful. We ate at Latitude and Longitude. The food was fine but would have liked a bigger menu. Wait staff was great. My kids Loved the water park. My only complaint is guests were taking lazy river rafts and keeping them by their chairs, and staff would walk right by and say nothing. When you can’t find a tube, this was bothersome. We also ate at the restaurant by The pool. Food was decent and fairly quick and staff was friendly. The Bus to Disney spring was prompt and driver friendly. We enjoyed our short stay and would choose this resort again for a short stay. Read less
