For $89 at the time of this review, you can book your family for a "Day Room" at the Hyatt at MCO. A place to shower, a bed to stretch out on and all access to the pools and amenities this upscale airport hotel has to offer is a bargain for the price. If you're flying Delta, the hotel is literally 20 feet from the terminal located within the airport itself.

i live in the Orlando area, but use this hotel occasionally if I have early or late arriving flight. For early flights especially, it's super convenient and you don't have to worry about over-sleeping as the hotel provides personalized (not recorded) wake-up calls, and even provides a follow-up call 15 minutes later to make sure you're up. That coupled with the fancy alarm clock and 2 alarm settings, and you can rest assured you won't over-sleep.

The hotel itself is outstanding and room furnishings and decor are first class. I've had both an inside-facing terminal room and runway-facing room, and they are both extremely comfortable (bed has loads of pillows!) and soundproof. The inside facing terminal rooms have a balcony overlooking the terminal (great for people watching and seeing how long the security line is), while the runway view rooms have a balcony where you can watch planes soaring off. The bed is SO comfortable and there are actually too many pillows to realistically use! The staff is excellent and very professional.

The bathroom has a combined tub and shower, and the shower head is very nice, offering a nice pressure stream of water. The bath amenities are very good, as well as the over-size towels. There is a coffee maker in the room with Starbucks coffee.

The flat panel TV has a couple channels showing arrivals and departures (as well as the regular channels) for checking flights, or just dreaming about the next place you want to go.

The airport location can't be beat if you're flying out early or arriving late. For late arriving passengers (or even those folks waiting on other's flights to arrive), there is a restaurant and bar on the lobby level, which is open until at least midnight. This was really a much appreciated feature after I arrived back at 10pm one time and could still get a meal and a drink. There is another hotel restaurant located on another level, however I have not used that one so can't comment.

There is a fancy outdoor pool with waterfall, and there is plenty of lounge seating as well. This area offers great views of the runway and terminal trains (some people call them monorails, but these are not) which transport passengers to their gates. Surprisingly there is not a pool bar here for this nice area, although there is a house phone with a number to call for room service delivery to the pool.

If you have a car, the charge for self parking is $12 (valet available), and the parking garage is conveniently connected to the hotel entrance and lobby. (The regular garage rate is $17 a day for non-guests).

After check-in, keep your room key out, as you will need it to take the glass-enclosed elevators (overlooking the terminal) up to your room. The room key is required for guests (for all room types) to use the elevators (at least going up), and adds a nice feeling of security.

Overall, this is a wonderful hotel to stay, if only for a night coming or going from MCO airport.

My family had an early flight out of Orlando International and this hotel was an ideal choice.

I was given the opportunity to check-in online, which was terrific because I was informed by email as soon as my room was ready, which was at 9am. This allowed me to reschedule my day which saved me fantastic amounts of time. Check in was done at a kiosk, and was quick and easy.

The rooms were comfortable and stylish. We were given two double beds and the usual hotel amenities (fridge, tv, desk etc...)

A nice advantage of staying here was that we were able to visit the terminal, which has a fair amount of shopping and restaurants before security, the night before. This also allowed us to kind of map out where we would be heading bright and early the next day.

Luggage assistance was available and responded quickly to our request. They took us straight to our airline counter which was tremendously helpful for a family with two small children and all the bags which accompany.

I would definitely stay here again.

This was a great way to end our long Florida vacation. Rather than rise extremely early for the flight home, as we usually do, we checked the car rental back and stayed over at the airport hotel. Room was on top floor with atrium view. Very comfortable, good quality bed, with fairly upmarket furnishings and bathroom fittings, and best of all, the room was very quiet. The restaurant on 4th floor was pretty good, with nice food and very friendly service. The choices for breakfast were good and very enjoyable with a great view over the runway. I'm sure we'll choose this option for future vacations in Orlando, it was far less rushed and a much more pleasant conclusion to our stay.
