Orlando (FL) hotels & accommodations
My family and I have stayed at Caribe Royale many times in the past few years. The experience has always been exceptional. Friendly staff, gorgeous interior, spectacular lagoon and pool, and excellent selection of dining options. This is a highly affordable luxury experience. you don't want to miss. And the location is great if you want to hit all the hot spots in O...
I do a lot of traveling throughout the year and many hotels have been pleasant; Rosen Centre, however, stood out. Everything from the front desk to the cleaning crew, everyone was excellent. First impression is everything - I was greeted with a friendly face at the front desk and she didn’t hesitate to accommodate me with my requests. Rosen Centre is conveniently locat...
Excelent, we com to Orlando every year, we are from Panama, and the is far the best hotel we ever had here in Orlando.
When we looked into this property, we were concerned by the poor reviews we read online. We decided, for the money, it was worth the risk. What a shock! The hotel far surpassed our expectations. The staff couldn't have been nicer or more helpful (additional requested towels were happily provided within 5 minutes), the room was very cute especially for families with...

We did not travel with our kids but wished we did it's a very nice hotel almost like a resort with the activities they provide for the whole family. As well as being very clean 👍👍. We will definitely be back with the kids next time. We normally travel to Orlando for the parks but we are coming back next time to spend a day at this hotel with the kids...
This is by far the best resort, in the greater Orlando area, that I have stayed in. The staff went above and beyond their duties to accommodate my daughter and I. The area was clean, all the staff was professional, and they had plenty of activities for children and adults alike. We have stayed in the amusement park resorts, but this was a better experience than thos...
Upon check in we were greeted by vivacious young woman name Angela, who provided one of the best customer service experiences I've ever had. Thank you Angela. While leaving chk in we met by a wonderful gentleman named Freedom who offered to escort us to our room. Once we parked he proceeded to help my husband carry all of our luggage to our room. (May I mention we n...
The stay was very pleasant. Polite staffs and clean room. The check-in and check-out process is relatively smooth and it's done in less than five minutes. There is bus stop located near the hotel that we took to the Premium Outlet stores at Orlando. We ordered steak and buffalo wings from the room service on our first night stay, the food came quite fast it was delici...
A really great hotel in a very convenient location on International Drive. Very large and comfortable rooms with free Wi-Fi access. I Would definately recommend it to anybody planning to visit Orlando, irrespective of whether you are a business or leisure traveller.
My family had our Christmas holiday in Orlando. Choosing Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress Resort is the great choice.
We just returned from spending a week at Hilton Bonet Creek. We are glad that we choose this resort. It made our time at Disney greatly enjoyable. It is close to all Disney theme parks and have regular free shuttle service. We used Uber or Lyft at times and it's no more than $10 one way. There's hardly anything to fault at this resort. It's new, clean and have great fa...
The hotel was amazing. Close to everything. They accommodated an early check in, the staff was friendly, the rooms were clean and the beds were comfortable. The only thing that needs a little work is the valet parking. You can't call ahead and have your care pulled around and we waited about 15 to 20 minutes each time we used the service. Not a huge issue, and I w...
Took a while to book in as they had no record of booking. Went to guest services to collect welcome pack but actually it was so they could get you to there time share apartments by trying to sell you reduced Disney tickets. I am surprised that the hotel allow this. We then went to the Disney shop in the hotel and purchased the Disney tickets from a very helpful lady. ...
Location, location and best value for Orlando. Has no resort fees, free parking and great internet. I come to play golf in Orlando and when I stay at any Rosen properties I have the best value for my money because there is no hidden fees, easy access to any area, the bathrooms are the cleanest of any older properties I stayed in. Their maintenance property manager i...
Stayed at the Rosen Plaza for a business trip. Because of the attentiveness of the staff and the amenities, it felt more like a vacation. The next time I visit Orlando I will definitely stay here again. Minutes from Disney and Sea World and the Airport. Definitely check them out first for a quality stay.
We enjoyed our stay at the Doubletree Hotel Orlando Universal At the Entrance. Upon arrival, we requested for early check-in and a room was immediately given to us. Warm & yummy chocolate chip cookies were also given to us upon check-in. Love the free shuttle to the Universal Studios - Island of Adventures & Universal Studios - Florida. It was a 15 min walk away if the...
I love this resort. Been coming here for four years now. It's an older facility but they keep the grounds and gardens spotless and groomed. 3 pools, jacuzzi, nature trails, tiki bar and movies every night under the covered main pool. Close to everything. Disney, Outlet malls, Orlando Icon, Disney Springs, tons of restaurants and much more! Staff is very couteous....
Arrived before lunch , got parked and called for a Lyft , location is close to everything we wanted to do and well know to both Lyft and Uber Drivers. Had a very late check in with no issues!
I have stayed here a few times before. Literally minutes from Universal (just cross bridge going over I4 and turn right into the parking area). It isn't fancy. There is a $100 deposit they take at the start of stay and return back at the end. Rooms is decent size. They all have fridge, microwave, and coffee pot. There is a restaurant attached to the hotel. Only h...
I was very nervous to book this resort based on the reviews I read prior. I finally decided to give the resort a chance and I'm so glad I did because we had a fantastic time! The check in process was slow. There were only two agents on the front desk and they were dealing with check in, check out and fielding questions from guests. However I could tell that they were...
My family and I stayed at Rosen Inn Universal for 2 weeks and 2 wonderful weeks they were. Our room was homely and our housekeeper, Melinise, was very friendly. She ensured that we got everything that we needed to make our stay a comfortable one. The hotel is conveniently located on I-drive close to just about EVERYTHING! Hotel staff was awesome! Carlos, who checked us...
Traveled to Orlando with my 15 y.o. daughter and 3 of her girlfriends for The Worlds's Cheering Competition held at ESPN Wide World of Sports. The entrance to the resort was beautiful. We didn't have much time to look around the resort other than the pool for 2 nights for about an hour or two swim before the pool closed at 10 p.m. Our villa was very comfortable, cle...
We found a simple room, spacious and clean, with a refrigerator (no microwave) and coffee maker. I still find it hard to believe that a basic room is closer to $100 per night than $50, but we were fine with the basics. Good mattress, pleasant staff, and a good breakfast buffet with several staff maintaining supplies and cleanliness.
I forgot that double tree hotels had their oatmeal chocolate chip cookies upon checking in. We tried to update our reservation a couple weeks before we arrived to switch from two queen beds to a king bed but they couldn't accommodate us due to being fully booked. They gave us the option of trying to switch on our 2nd night but we were too tired to do so. It was interes...
We knew we were going to Epcot center, so it was an easy decision to choose the Dolphin resort with its free access by boat to Epcot and leaving the car in the resort parking saved us parking fees as well. Win-Win. The best was its pools and man-made beach areas to relax and unwind from the madness of the theme parks. There is a large waterfall with a cooling grotto an...

We stay in a two bedroom condo style room. It has a full kitchen, dining room and living room. There are two full size bathrooms in the unit. There is one smaller bedroom with two single beds, a pull out couch in the living room and a large master bedroom with a jacuzzi style tub in a full size bathroom off the master. Wherever your unit is you are close to a pool ...
It has standard Hilton facility, the staff is really nice and we got early check-in easily even it's not the time yet. As other Hilton hotel problem, the noise is easy to be heard next door, so guests need to be really quiet to make sure did not disturb others. There are free shuttles every half an hour going to all the theme parks, luckily, Hilton is the first stop, s...
The hotel is very near Universal Orlando. It had free shuttle to the theme parks already from early in the morning (7.30 if I remember right , on time for park opening at 9am). They also offered other time schedules to and from the parks. . Other hotels in the area offered free shuttles but we found out they were always only one scheduled shuttle to the park at 11 am ...
Cheap places to stay in Orlando (FL)
I would highly recommend Oak Plantation Resort in Kissimmee, Florida. I however would not recommend agoda.com for booking this resort. The price your quoted for your stay and what gets charged to your credit card are different amounts and it's virtually impossible to get someone from agoda.com on the telephone to explain to me why I'm being charged more than they quote...
Air conditioner unit needs to be maintained
This hotel was conveniently located on Irlo Bronson which is packed full of restaurants stores and convenience stores and supermarkets. We were only about 15 minutes away from Disney Springs where we spent New Year's Eve and it was wonderful after being out until 2:30 in the morning being able to quickly drive back to our hotel. Our room was cozy and clean and perf...

The room smelled like animal urine and feces, the carpet was about 30 yrs old and stained with feces smears, beds were on broken bases and sinking, only half of the lights worked, the alarm clock was broken, and a giant bed bug crawled right on top of the comforter as I was entering the room!! I wouldn’t stay here even if I was homeless, the streets are cleaner!
I stayed at this hotel for three days at the end of September. The staff were kind and helpful. The breakfast offered was fruits, cereal and pastries. I went across the street to eat at Cracker Barrel instead. There are many restaurants and stores nearby. The hotel room was clean. I didn't see any bugs. I didn't feel unsafe during my stay. The pool and jacuzzi w...

I was very pleased by how clean the bed was, and that the water was able to get to a comfortable temperature. I was a bit uncomfortable with the wet towels outside of the leaky A/C units. For me it made the place seem a bit more humid. Aside from that I had a rejuvenating sleep!
Worst motel I’ve ever stayed at. No idea why reviews rate so high in Agoda. The floor was so filthy, I never took my shoes off. Overall very very dirty run down room, bath sink and shower curtain are just disgusting. Safe box broken. pros: the guy at reception (owner?) was very nice during check in; location is ok.
The counter staffs and manager greeted us with a big smile throughout our check-in, which really refreshes us after a 22 hour flight. The room is cozy and large for 2 business traveller. The bathrooms is also very clean and nicely decorated. While we need to shorten our stay due to cancellation of the conference, we still received great experience from the counter...
The stay at super 8 was more than I expected. The hotel was located in a great area and was surrounded by other hotels. The level of satisfaction is excellent in all categories. I will stay at this location again when I require a hotel in Orlando, Florida.
When I called the office from my personal cell for another towel I had to follow the office staff to another room to get one and both towels were stained with black stuff and according to the staff it was hair dye. Our room was non smoking and there were burns on the sheets. Mold on the bathroom door and an old cigarette butt behind the bathroom. When I asked when the...
A little dated , but clean and good location. Great price , close to most Orlando attractions . Easy check in and check out .

When I got there and told them my name, they said “oh god” and they told me that they made a mistake earlier and gave the reservation to someone else and that they have to refund me the money I payed online and I had to pay for another room now.
I love this resort. Been coming here for four years now.

Great location, price was amazing. Beds and pillows great. The receptionist Hania was great and very helpful.
I booked this suite very last minute; had an issue with my Agoda booking/payment, but the staff was courteous and prompt to work with me to solve it. The price is insanely low for the value of the suite itself. My suite could easily fit six people, with two full/queen? beds and a king sized Murphy bed. One bathroom (but two sink spaces), and, a living area space with...
one of the Best hotel I had in United state. the front desk is friendly! room is clean! Great facility such as laudry is good and with good price! :D
If you are looking for an inexpensive motel stay, it is quite OK. It has free parking and laundry. Daily cleaning provided. There’s a number of shops and dining around. Close to Disney
Upon arrival, the hotel did not have our paid reservation and we needed to contact Agoda to confirm we had a paid reservation. So, make sure to bring a copy of the paid reservation. The room was a good-sized room with chairs and a table, two queen sized beds, refrigerator, microwave, iron/iron board, hair dryer, coffee maker and a computer for a small fee. The shower ...

Would have been better if my room was not facing pool. I could not sleep until everyone else decided it was time to go to sleep. Also the AC unit leaked water on floor every day

Used the hotel for an overnight from a long flight to the USA from South Africa. Cannot comment on very much except I enjoyed my visit. Thank you.
Would have been nice if the hotel notified you that it was under renovation. Lots of noise, not so clean...
We stayed here for 2 nights whilst visiting the seaworld parks. The room was very good for the price, the breakfast was v nice (nicer than the more expensive Holiday Inn), all represented very good value for money. BUT!! We had a HUGE issue finding the hotel - my husband couldn't get it on the Sat Nav so he just put in the number on International Drive. We couldn't fi...

Monumental Hotel is my favorite place to stay whenever I'm in Orlando. It's like a home away from home. The pool is very beautiful. Even though I never have time to use it, I enjoy seeing it every morning when I leave for work and return at end of day. The sound of the fountains is very zen. I feel like I'm in Jamaica every time I'm there. The rooms are very spa...
I have 2 months traveling to Orlando every weeks for my job and have changed hotels weekly. Finally I found a wonderful place with excellent services, well location, very clean, good staff. After test in many place this hotel will be my first Option for my futures travel to Orlando.
Best quality be far! This place is amazing! I don't I one bad thing to say. My kids and I had so much fun here. We will definitely come back!

I got this hotel to surprise my girlfriend that lives in Orlando and she fell in love with it. It's a beautiful hotel. Great location and has an amazing view. (We were on the 26th floor) the price for the hotel was great as well! Onu thing that sucked was that there was a $24 hotel fee every night. The fee should cover the valet parking AT LEAST. But it was $20 somethi...
great location! very close to universal studios (you can walk there if you like, about 20-25 min walk) they also offer bus service. it is also not that far from disney world. they also have a shuttle bus going there. room was very clean and space was big! my favorite hotel in orlando!
The hotel is located just next to the Disney downtown and is within 5 minutes walk. Free shuttle bus to Disney theme parks is available every 30 minutes. No shuttle bus is available to the nearby Orlando premium outlet. Hotel is a little bit old but clean. Toothbrush is not provided in the room. Hotel services is very slow if you call from room.
The room and hotel facilities were clean. Everyone was helpful and willing to assist. Breakfast was decent. I will be booking at this location again.
We have stayed in orlando 5 times before and this is the first time we have been able to sit at a bar in the hotel at night and make friends and have a chat with people. The amenities are fantastic with crazy gold, beach villey all, basketball to name a few. Lovely warm pool and good food on site. Good location with lots of great eating close by and clean rooms. The l...
For the most part the hotel was decent. I had asked for a high floor and was put on the 2nd looking out at the roof access so that was a bummer. Busses were the biggest disappointment. I stayed here because I didn’t want to take the ferry nor tram to Magic Kingdom and had to anyway because the busses for the property drop you off at a parking lot that’s near the actual...
Staff are very accommodating. I arrived too early for check in, and though I was willing to pay for early check in, there was no available room yet. The front desk was kind enough to notify me when there was available room already. Breakfast is great. Bacon, eggs, pitatoes, sausages, yum yum. Rooms are huge and are very clean. Free shuttle to Disney World. CVS is ri...
I have been to Lake Buena Vista Spa and Resort 4-5 times. And every time it gets better and better, at the front desk I was greeted by Rafael and Aiysha. They were very nice and knowledgeable about the property and the area, places to go and shop and etc. I'm planning to return to LBVR, on my next trip to Orlando? C.Bryant, Miami, FL 😃
We were running from Hurricane Matthew and needed 2 rooms that accepted pets on short notice.Melia was the only hotel with exactly 2 rooms left when I booked.

Over all we love it... I was here staying with my 8 year old grandson. When we checked in we were told the pool was heated so we went to the pool as soon as we unpacked only to find it wasn't heated. It was way to cold to swim but we did go into the hot tub. The rooms were clean however do need to be up dated. We met a lady from Bosnia who worked everyday at the b...
this is the best hotel if you have a morning flight out. you are literally inside the MCO premises. no worries about food, big food court just steps away. room was bog and spacious. great amenities.
At first we were sent to a SMALL hotel-style room (we paid for a 1 bed villa) where our room key didn't work & our neighbors were fumigating the next-door unit with weed. However after 2 trips back to the lobby (a 10 minute walk) we were re-directed to a beautiful 1 bedroom suite that was larger than our entire house! Definitely worth the trips back and forth as well a...
really great facility less than 1/2 the price of the hotel and way more room (3 bedrooms, 3 baths). One of the few places where the rooms actually are as big or bigger than they appear in the photos. I have booked online a lot and have been surprised both ways in the past. In this case, the venue was even better than expected. Even factoring in the cost of ride s...
Only stayed one night and very impressed. Wonderful warm welcome from reception staff. Quick check in and out. Fabulous room on 11th floor. Didn’t book a room with a view but if the Tower Of Terror isn’t a great view I don’t know what is and at night you can see right across to the old town. Thank for our very short stay but would stay again without question

We were really impressed with this Sheraton. The room was huge with 2 big bedrooms and 2 big bathrooms. The beds were so comfy. We stayed in block 25 near the kids pool area. It was a good location for our 3 young kids. It also had a shop in the block with a starbucks. If your staying in Orlando I would highly recommend it.
Very good, you can catch the bus to many major areas including Disney downton, Downtown Orlando, and other theme parks. Free internet, clean rooms, nice staff. One staff member did tell me the wrong information about shuttle bus to the airport i.e. you dont have to book as it is always outside, when she was talking about the car service that would take you anywhere y...
It was basically an apartment. It was perfect it was clean just nice and neat
Great place to stay to get away from the travelers of Disney and Universal. Very quite. Friendly staff.

Real reviews for hotels
You ve got to visit the primium outlets lije buena vista factory stores,orlando primium outkets,the florida mall and the fun spot for you kids
We definitely missed Orlando when we got back. It was a dreamland. Despite the hot weather, we were able to enjoy the vast selection of Theme Parks, outlet stores, retail outlets.
One of my favorite places to visit! There is always something to do and see and there is a great variety of restaurants.
A city of fun. This is the 2nd time we visited Orlando, will still bring our family back. Have not yet visited 1/2 of what we want to visit here!
We stayed for 9 days in Orlando. Our stay was generally plain vanilla. Food wasn't all that great, people weren't all that friendly, but the theme parks were the saving grace.
Public transport is non existent there so unless you drive, it's very hard to get around. Cabs are very expensive.
If you don't have great driving skills, you'd better ride lynx. People are very friendly, warm-hearted, so they're willing to help visitors to figure out the routes.
Food is cheap and good. You can order 2 portion for 3 persons. For breakfast eat in Pondorosa. Offer the best buffet breakfast for 3.
