“OK for the money”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 February 2012

person found this review helpful

This hotel was clean and comfortable. I spent a great afternoon at the pool, which is located at the center courtyard. Very nice.

Upon check-in, i was surprised to have an additional $3.50 added to my bill for the FREE internet, FREE breakfast and FREE parking. I even made a comment about how the free stuff costs $3.50 a day, and the hotel worker only smiled and pointed out it was several FREE things for that price.
Breakfast was pitiful. Minimal buffet with all carbs and blessed little else. They even had minimal hot selections with a sign $3.99 for hot buffet. I saw no one go for it.
Somehow it just cheapened the entire experience.
I had to scout around for an ice machine that worked. The cable kept popping out of the back fo my tv, and the remote kept losing its programming. Thankfully, I got on line (with the FREE internet service for $3.50 a day) and learned how to reprogram the remote, so I could do it myself.

Location was very good for me, as I had business at the Convention Center, and it was very close.

“Not my favorite place”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 January 2012

Wi-fi incredibly slow. The continental breakfast was pitiful - no fruit, no fruit juice, not even ice water. Of course for purchase you can buy bottled water or juice. The $3.99 hot breakfast was NOT hot. My husband had cold eggs and a pancake that wouldn't begin to melt butter. The attendant was not conversant in English, so complaining to her was like talking to the bar stool. Most unsatisfactory! The room was fine, and close to the convention center. Price was also OK, but not as low as advertised when you add the state tax, occupancy tax, and hotel services fee.

Dear guest,

Thank you for taking the time to review our hotel. I certainly do apologize for the aggravation you were confronted with at breakfast. The front office manager/staff is always willing and available to assist all guests with concerns. I would have liked for you to bring this dissatisfaction to our attention immediately as it could have been resolved in a timely manner.

We are happy to hear that you found the hotels pricing and location comfortable for your visit to Orlando and that the condition of the room was perfect.

“Convenient location to Convention Center”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 January 2012

people found this review helpful

Recently stayed at this property while attending a trade show. It's convenient, functional for business, and quiet even for location near freeways. Skip the breakfast: long lines, marginal food and they charge $3.99 for the hot breakfast, if you can get to it. I would recommend the iHop in walking distance or a nearby Denny's. Had a pleasant and quiet evening in the bar which was good. This would not be a place I would vacation, just not the type of quality for a holiday. Would use again for trade show.

“Economical choice”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 January 2012

person found this review helpful

Not luxe by any stretch but clean and $100/night cheaper than its tonier neighbors. Wi-fi is slow. Free outdoor parking too. With a car (or without but about a mile hike), the whole International Drive area is available with every chain restaurant known to man. Solid budget choice.

“Smoking Fee”

Watch this Hotel!
I stayed there for a week in early Jan 2012, on my return to the UK I noticed that a charge of $250 was taken from credit card for smoking in the room.
I am a NON- SMOKER , after Seven Emails and two phone calls,I have just been informed by the Manager that I did in fact smoke in the room and the charge stands.
