My wife and I spent three nights here while attending a conference in the area. We have stayed in quite a few Residence Inn properties around the US. This property is located literally around the corner from Sea World.
Because this property is adjacent to the Orlando area theme parks, it caters primarily to vacationers and families traveling with children. If you are on business and this bothers you, you might want to find one of the area conference hotels instead. The facilities and rooms are very clean and the staff very friendly. The garden areas have nice tables, some with gas grills, located in the space around the main pool. These delightful areas allow you to have a cook out or simply enjoy the marvelous weather Florida has to offer. The pool is very decorative and has several fountains that empty into the pool itself.
The breakfast area is very large for a Residence inn. It offers a large hot breakfast service along with all the standard pastries and cereals found at most of these outlets. It is very busy, but we never had a problem finding a seat. There is also a cabana bar and grill serving food and drinks and a Pizza Hut Express all adjacent to the pool area.
The rooms are large and spacious, but again if you are a business traveler you will notice that some of the amenities offered in most other Residence Inn properties are not offered here. No microwave popcorn, no manager's reception during week nights, no offer to do your grocery shopping and the rooms decor is very spartan. The fitness center is well equiped and is larger than most. There is a very large guest laundry facility and an adjacent game room stocked with several video games.
The free internet is decent but the bandwidth is not that great. I measured around 350K up and down. Okay for email and web browsing but not up to Skype or other high speed requirements.
There are grocery stores and restaurants all within a 3 mile radius. Overall I had a pleasant and comforrable visit and would stay here again.
Room Tip: You might want to ask for a room that does not face the I-4 interstate highway.
