The rooms were incredible, big, & comfortable, staff here were lovely and very helpful. We had more than enough room for 3 adults. It’s a bit remote, a little bit of walking to get to local shops or food stops. Miniature golf around the corner. Close by to Universal Studios and about half and hour travel to Disney World. Overall great experience and I would definitely stay here again. « less

Arrived 30th march 2013 with our 2children. Staff very friendly and helpful during check in. Hotel very clean, pool excellent and provided pool towels a bonus! Whirlpool spa lovely after a day in the parks - never busy - often had it to ourselves! Allocated connecting rooms on 4th floor on arrival but requested move after 3 days due to noise level of students visiting the area on a school trip. Manager very understanding and offered us immediate room upgrade to floor 8 with connecting executive rooms and complimentary breakfast the following day. Breakfast was 12 dollars and children eat free and was lovely fresh food and helpful attentive staff. Car park was free and hotel only 17 minute drive from Disney parks and hotel had shuttle to universal. Hotel is very well located in between international drive and universal boulevard - several restaurants only a walk away. Enjoyed several breakfasts in ponderosa, evening meals at TGI Fridays, señor frogs, vitios steakhouse. Would recommend to anyone and will return on our next visit to Orlando - thank you for a great holiday! « less

We stayed here March 27-30 to take my son to Seaworld and Lego Land. My 2 year old liked it and said there are no ghosts at this castle (Casper). Lol. Our room just had 2 beds and one long table and tv. There was no DVD player, small refrigerator or microwave that I expected a place like this to have. It was alright since we only stayed there for a couple of nights and wasnt there at all during the day. The best thing about it is that is it close to most attractions but so are alot of the other hotels that looked just as nice and probably had alot more to offer. « less

Testimonials: Why use Hotel Planner?
"Thanks for the feedback. I will definitely use your site in the future. This was my first time setting up a conference for a government agency so I have learned a lot. By having the hotels bid for business or at least advise if they could accommodate was a HUGE time saver. I started by throwing darts at hotels in certain locations and cold calling them before I found your website! I really appreciate yours and the teams help." C.B. - Denver, CO
"I will be telling everyone about you guys and utilizing your services again myself this week. Thanks so much for all your help, it was awsome!" K.G. - Naples, FL
