Poor First Impression
We spent two nights here on a reservation made on the IHG web site. First time at this hotel so I was not sure what to expect. First impressions were not very good. I got an email to pre-check in with a desired time and they would let me know when the room was ready. Sounded good but they never contacted me at all. We went to the hotel at 5pm and were given a room on the 11th floor. The hotel was suppose to be full but did not seem that way based on the parking or traffic in the hall. Surprised to find out there was no ice machine on the floor. Ice machines are only on even floors. There was only one luggage cart at the entrance and it was similar to an airport cart and way too small to carry everything including a cooler. No plastic liners in the trash cans which was unacceptable as you are suppose to empty the trash yourself as a Covid precaution. The safe was locked so had not been checked when the room was cleaned. Finally the toilet did not flush properly. Traffic was not too bad around the hotel compared to some places in Orlando and you could make a left turn out of the hotel without much trouble. Room had two double beds and was very clean. Coffee maker, lights, A/C, Internet, shower and hot water were all very good. The hotel response to problems was excellent and several items were corrected as soon as we mentioned them. The most outstanding feature of the hotel was the breakfast. They use a printed menu order form and you check what you want and it is ready at a set time or while you wait. Everything was very good quality and there were three ladies working so it was also very quick. My opinion of the hotel changed from average to excellent in the two days especially comparing it to others hotels I have recently stayed at.
One night
Nice clean hotel very close to universal studios. Plenty of parking, fast check in and out. Friendly staff. Breakfast to go. Rooms are nice but miss e was really small as was the bathroom. Walls are a little thin, I could hear children next door all evening. It's a good hotel for the area.
Disappointing
I booked this hotel last minute for a quick getaway. Check in was quick and easy, the gentleman at the front desk was very nice. The room was in good condition with the exception of regular coffee everything that was needed, was there. We were located on the 3rd floor and around 9pm we started hearing loud music playing down the hall along with people coming and going. I poked my head out and it was a group of youngsters.... I tried not to over think it in the hopes that they would know when it was a decent time to turn it off....1:14am music was still blasting!!! I go to call the front desk, the phone in the room doesn’t work, I call from my cellphone, no answer. I walk downstairs and tell the agent and he calls for someone to go up and ask for the music to be turned down. 3am music is back on and people are now outside of the rooms in the hallways having a good old time. The party stopped around 4 am, needless to say we got no sleep before going to the park. Breakfast is good as they offer a nice selection. 10 min distance from park via car 15 from international drive
Francis & Doris the Stars of the show.
The front desk staff especially Francis & Doris made my stay personal. Consuelo at Breakfast was so pleasant and very friendly. Property a good value for the $. Beginning to show signs of a needed update but again a good value. Clean & kept.
Eh. Not the best.
This hotel is ok. I thought it was going to be a little more updated than it is. The suite I had definitely showed wear and tear. The couch made a creaking noise every time I sat on it. The bed was terribly uncomfortable and felt worn out. Not the best IHG property I’ve stayed in, that’s for sure.
