The hotel

An all-suite, modern and classic property in the heart of Orlando, Buena Vista Suites is the perfect spot for a fun-filled few days or weeks at the theme parks. There's some great perks at this hotel that will allow you to save a few pennies to use on souvenirs - complimentary full American breakfast will give you much needed fuel in the morning before a day at the theme parks, which are a short complimentary shuttle ride away, so you can be walking through those park gates in minutes! And when you’re ready for some down time, you’ve got an outdoor pool as well as access to the facilities and dining at next door Caribe Royal Orlando!

I had high hopes for my stay at Buena Vista Suites after having switched from a Marriott property, but unfortunately, it was disappointing in several key areas. The first room I was given had no working heat, leaving it at a frigid 55 degrees (felt like outside Florida in January). After waiting 45 minutes for maintenance and receiving dismissive responses from the front desk, I was moved to another room late at night. However, the second room wasn’t much better—the heat only reached room temperature, never warm, and the water in the bathroom never got hot throughout my entire four-night stay. Cleanliness was another issue. Toothpaste residue was left in the sink, hair in the shower, and there were stains on the shower curtain—clear signs the room hadn’t been properly cleaned. I have photos to back this up. Parking was fine most nights, but on my last evening, I had to circle three or four times before finally finding a spot. While breakfast was laid out well, it was very basic and typical. I initially reached out via email to both the manager and another staff member, but no one responded. The only acknowledgment I received was from their Instagram social media team, who said someone would follow up, but that never happened. However, after completing their survey post-stay, management did respond and refunded the resort fee as well as a small credit toward my third-party booking. While I appreciate the gesture, it doesn’t change the fact that my concerns were ignored during my stay, and I only received a response after submitting formal feedback. The biggest regret? Not booking at their sister property, Caribe Royale, which offers a much better experience. Buena Vista Suites has potential but needs major improvements in cleanliness, customer service, and responsiveness. I did really like their choice of art in the rooms though… Read less
