Stayed here to go to NBA game. Location was close and they say they have shuttle service. First problem.. they do not have shuttle to the Amway Center during large events.(does not say this on the website) So they did call us a taxi and they were there on time. We decided to go to the bar for lunch and had the best Baked Brie and grilled Salmon salad with champagne vinegarette. The lemon drop Martini's are also very good. But that is the last nice thing I have to say...you can tell the hotel is old and was somewhat remodeled. The furniture in the room was old, the Tv had an awful picture, both phones had buttons that were stuck so you could not call guest services, I heard the train several times during the night, the walls were thin so you could hear everything, the breakfast buffet the next morning was not good. The only thing decent was the omelette and the very nice ladies at the hostess stand:-)
The most upsetting was the night before when we took a taxi to the Amway center, I asked if there would be taxi's outside to get us back and the lady says, Oh it's only a 6 block walk. Really ?? Why do you think we checked into a handicap accessible room?? I am standing there with my mom who has a walker and she suggested I walk. She then went over and asked another man and they both agreed that we could get a taxi outside..guess what??.. There was not. At 9:30 pm after the game I called the hotel and asked them to call us a cab to get us back,,he said, "Oh but it's only a 6 block walk." I was not happy, and when I told him my mother was handicapped and it was not possible he took my number and said he would then call a cab...apparently the cab ride is too short because the cab company said they were no longer dispatching cabs to the arena. We were luckily to find another cab company to take us back. Next time I will find a hotel that will spend the money to take care of their guests and send a shuttle anywhere and anytime as listed on their website . There are soooo many choices in Orlando and I have stayed there sooo many times ..don't stay here because there are too many problems !
