The hotel

This hotel is conveniently located half way between Walt Disney World Resort and Universal Orlando Resort™, it is the perfect contrast of incredibly convenient location and contemporary accommodation. You really are spoilt for choice around the hotel's 28 acres. The kids will love the two large swimming pools, keeping them cool and happy when they're not at the theme parks. Laguna is the main restaurant, with an atmosphere that is enlivened by regular seasonal entertainment (not to mention their tropical cocktails!).

Andreina is an absolute gem. She was so patient with me after a slightly rough evening (rooms not ready… angry newly weds… the bride is my best friend and had accidentally eaten something she was allergic too… plus we weren’t aware a prom was being hosted and had immediately walked in to chaos) I booked 2 rooms through a 3rd party and was told… Read more
Andreina is an absolute gem. She was so patient with me after a slightly rough evening (rooms not ready… angry newly weds… the bride is my best friend and had accidentally eaten something she was allergic too… plus we weren’t aware a prom was being hosted and had immediately walked in to chaos) I booked 2 rooms through a 3rd party and was told earlier everything was good and I’d get a text when the rooms were ready while we were at Epcot. Never happened which (again) totally fine. Andreina was calm and clearly making sure we were taken care of. We ended up in different rooms than booked but she handled it so well. Even when another woman interrupted her and wrote on a sticky note “no more room changes” (idk if that was the exact wording but I believe it was) right in front of us while we were just trying to get any room. Later in the evening I went back to ask a question and she went out of her way to make sure I was okay. (I was a little stressed out) This is the first time staying at this hotel and she single handedly saved the evening. Only thing I’d say is I wish there had been a warning a prom was being held bc teenagers hitting elevator floors being funny with a sick bride was frustrating. Not the hotels fault at all but would have liked to be a little prepared. Read less

Great place. Great stay. The rooms are nice. The lay out is good for visitors of any age. It’s convenient to the local entertainment venues like Sea World and International Drive. Also close to the civic center. Special thanks to Tig the Guest Ambassador!

This hotel is run down and needs a major renovation! There is sulfur in their running water in the guest rooms and public restrooms! If you don’t know what sulfur smells like, it smells like, “rotten eggs”. This is what you smell when brushing your teeth and taking a shower!!!

Terrible smell in the room. Wet sticky floor in front of the tv. Housekeeping was nice. Bathroom had a musty mildew smell. I think something to do with the water in the shower. Charis was absolutely amazing!!!! She was sooo helpful and knowledgeable
