“Dirty rooms, poor service - pick anywhere else in Orlando”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 February 2012

My very first impression of the hotel was not favorable, as the woman at the front desk wanted to argue with me because I did not have a printed email confirmation page. I travel a lot, and I NEVER have a printed email page. She said it was a new policy that they just enacted a couple of hours ago, which is fine, but you can't expect me to have the paper. She tried to turn the monitor around at the front desk so that I could log into my email and print it out but they keyboard wasn't working, so she told me that I could go to the buisness center for $3 for 15 minutes to print out my email and bring it back because she would get fired if I didn't print it. In the end, I forwarded my email to her from my phone and she printed it, but the entire discussion was unprofessional. She gave us a map of the property and circled our room, but she circled the wrong room so we ended up having to walk back and forth to figure out where the room was.

I have NEVER seen a shabbier hotel room than this one. The wooden entertainment center looked like it was either covered in mold or like someone spilled a soda down the front of it years ago and it was never cleaned. The computer desk looked water damaged at the bottom and the cloth computer chair with it looked like it came right out of the dumpster - I wouldn't even touch it. The bathroom door looked like someone kicked it in or something - it was severely damaged with the wood splitting on both sides of the door. The toilet didn't appear to be properly installed and would almost come off the floor. I have no idea why housekeeping and maintenance have not taken care of these large issues. The carpet was not sticky and the bed was clean and comfortable, but that is all that was right. To make matters worse, there was a letter on the bed when we walked in talking about how much they strive for "friendly customer service and clean rooms that reflect the highest quailty standards" - yeah right.

I have stayed at Comfort Inns across the country and this one is by far the worst I have ever seen. And it wasn't even the cheapest Comfort Inn in the area.

Room Tip: I would avoid a first floor room...the rooms have an outside corridor, so you hear all of the cars...

“Adequate for 1 night”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

This hotel has the friendliest staff that I have ever encountered in the Orlando area. From the front desk staff at check-in, to the housekeeping and breakfast buffet staff, I was constantly greeted by smiles. The one area of the hotel that desparately needs to be addressed is the maintenance of the rooms and grounds. The rooms need a more thorough cleaning than can be accomplished in a general cleanup after a guest checks out. The walls, windows, bathrooms, and carpets need a heavy duty cleaning. An investment in the landscaping and repair of the pool retaining wall are also seriously overdue.
The breakfast buffet is a very good start to the day. Both hot and cold items are available every day.
This hotel is adequate for an emergency overnight, but any longer stay requires someplace which is not as dingy.

“Going Back”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 January 2012

person found this review helpful

Today booked to return, went September 2011 and had a wonderful holiday, breakfast really good, staff friendly, convenient for most attractions, not the ritz, but a clean hotel with a good pool and clean rooms. Looking forward to May to return, Cosmos have some really good deals for May.

Room Tip: Ask for room overlooking the pool, as rooms facing Sand Lake Road can be noisy.

“Fantastic”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 January 2012

We stayed 6 nights in Jan 2012. Fantastic place. Free breakfast is out of this world.
Staff is so nice, especially Ena and Suzette. Everything is so close. The price is right.
Its clean, organized, and they bend over backwards to accomodate everything.

“Warning!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 January 2012

people found this review helpful

My daughter and friend stayed there Easter weekend. While at the park everything they owned was stolen from the room computer, IPOD, wallet, cash, and her glasses (for god sakes). The staff ignored her while she sat crying in the lobby three hours for the police to arrive. There was no forced entry. After I called many times they promised to have their insurance company contact us for a settlement. They never called. One manager admitted to me this happens all the time; so it appears employees are involved. DO NOT STAY THERE IF YOU WISH TO NOT BE VICTIMIZED BY THEIVES AND HOTEL MANAGEMENT
