“Pleasantly Surprised & Romantic!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 February 2012

person found this review helpful

I have to admit off the bat I was a little skeptical about staying at a Holiday Inn hotel, but I was very surprised and impressed by The Castle! My boyfriend and I were only staying for one night on business, but wanted to use the weekend as an excuse for a little fun and romance, the castle was the perfect place spot! After being thoroughly disappointed with a recent stay at another hotel in near by a few weeks prior I decided to do a little more research and am glad I did! We arrived late and the front desk staff was very accommodating. We were welcomed by birds chirping in the entrance, cold iced tea and even allowed to upgrade at no cost for late check out the next day! Once we arrived in the room I knew we had made the right choice. The standard double queen bed room as very spacious and even had a cute little nook with a view of the pool area. I was impressed by the cleanliness of the room and the hotel it self. Very private, quiet and overall a lovely romantic weekend. I was so impressed that this coming Presidents Day weekend I tried to book a 3 night stay, but unfortunately there were no rooms available. I highly recommend this for any couple or family who wants a great and affordable hotel near all the major attractions!

“Always and excellent stay.”

Have always stayed at HI when traveling in US and Canada. Recently stayed at the Castle in Orlando on latest business trip with several colleagues. The hotel was immaculate and the service top notch. They continue to go above the expected when working with their priority club members and have also done the same for my staff that were not members. Never woudl consider staying elsewhere if the Castle is available.

Room Tip: no tip necessary. All rooms from 2nd floor up are quiet and comfortable.

“Great Stay!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 February 2012

people found this review helpful

I found this resort hotel to be very clean with exceptionally personal staff. My 6 day 5 night stay went off without a hitch, I would have no problems returning to this hotel anytime.

My only comment, which isn't much, however, there was no fridge in the room. I like nothing more than to return to my room after a long day and have a couple of cold drinks waiting for me, either provided though the hotel or from an outside purchase.

Other than that, good work Castle, and I will see you again some day!

Room Tip: Not sure but there is a great view, so try and stay closer to the top.
