• Location.
• Not long enough shuttles to Disney.

“We were advised by the hotel that there were plenty of shuttles to Disney all day and night. That was not the case. The first shuttle was at 8AM and the last one was at 1:45 in the afternoon. When we arrived at the hotel we were suppose to have two non smoking hotel rooms next to each other and they were not ready when we arrived at 1:30 pm. We realized that check in was at 4PM but we had spoken to the hotel prior to our trip and they advised it was not a problem if we arrived early. They offered us smoking rooms which I cannot have as my wife has asthma. We wound up on separate floors just to get non smoking and had to wait over 1 1/2 hours to get the two rooms we were finally given. Maybe they need to hire some more cleaning people. We were given the impression there was one person per floor to clean.”

“My girlfriend and I were happy with our experience at the Orlando Vista hotel. The hotel was clean and the staff was friendly. It was minutes away from all of the theme parks. The hotel's restaurant, Au Bon Pain, was good for breakfast and sandwiches, and the hotel bar was never crowded, which we loved. The hotel also has a weight room and nice outdoor pool. I would recommend this hotel for anyone who wants a holiday-inn-like hotel at a Motel-6 price.”

• The hotel was good, basic accommodations.
• There was a freaking' huge pineapple on it.

“If you're just looking for a place to sleep in the Orlando area, this hotel is fine. Kids will like the wild colored decorating scheme, but guests over the age of 7 might find it a little too strange. If you're picky about your housekeeping, this may not be the place for you. Towels were replaced, but the sheets weren't changed daily. Over all, it was decent, but nothing spectacular. About what Id expect for the price.”

• Location only.
• Dirty, carpet torn several places, bed terrible, bath horrible, bed linen not clean.

“This hotel should not even be rated as a one star because of the way the room looks and other things I have described earlier.”

• Great location, clean rooms, friendly service.
• Bathroom could have used some updating.

“Great price for an older but clean hotel that sits right at the gates of Disney world. The service was friendly and responsive. Overall a great value.”

• Good price, good location, helpful staff when prompted.
• Old and needs renovation, very loud a/c unit, next to busy street.

“There are signs and flyers everywhere indicating that this hotel will be renovated into a hotel/condo development, with units selling for $160k. It's a good idea; the hotel is very old and needs to be totally gutted. Everything works, but not very well, like the a/c unit which roars like a jet engine, keeping us awake at night, and the card readers, which required multiple swipes. Everything is clean, but worn, like old carpet, trim, elevators, and tubs.”

• Location near Disney.
• Only got about 5 TV channels.

“It's being converted to vacation condos. Not really interested in maintaining hotel features and services.”

• The location was convenient for Disney. Lots of restaurants around. Subway was very close so we could pack a sub to bring to Disney.
• Entering back and forth into the hotel was inconvenient.

“The hotel is very convenient to Disney. It is on a busy road with lots of restaurants nearby. The room was very comfortable. For a changed I like the pillows! The internet wireless is free but on the lobby floor only. The pool is ok, and you get a free paper every day. Overall, it is a very good value hotel.”

• Well the cookies at check in were great and so close to Disney!
• Had to pay for fridge that kind of stinks.

“The hotel has very friendly staff and the rooms were so bright and cheery. The hotel pool was great although we prefer an unheated pool a little better or at least a little cooler on a hot day! The hotel was nice. Wish we could've stayed a bit longer. Was under assumption that a fridge was in all rooms and found that that was not the case had to pay $10 for the fridge, but I have to say they were quick and very professional. The Au Bon Pain was great in the morning and the service was superb. Great people work in this hotel and that makes the difference!”

• Proximity to Disney world and outlet shopping.
• Difficult to get to, only one exit from parking onto the divided road.

“Clean, very comfortable room with down comforters and lots of squishy pillows. The water pressure seemed a bit low on the 5th floor, but the shower was ok. The towels were large and thick. Overall, a good choice for coming back to after running around in the theme parks all day (and half the night).”

• Big pool and friendly staff.
• Dirty pool, outdated TV with poor picture, needed new beds, and cleaner room.

“Very Good location for park access. Room and hotel amenities are below par compared to previous hotels at same rating. Pool was very dirty and overall hotel was not the cleanest. Friendly, attentive staff.”

• Close proximity to Walt Disney World.
• Large groups of guests running the halls, making a lot of noise late at night and early in morning.

“Overall, the hotel itself is fine, and a great location to Disney World. The staff was friendly. Unfortunately, large groups of teenage guests ran through the halls late at night and early in the morning shouting, screaming, singing, etc. It would have been nice if management could have tried to monitor this, but it probably would have been impossible to stop other than not booking huge blocks of teenagers tour groups in the first place.”

• Location was good.
• Mold in bathroom, slow elevators, re-used soap left.

“Hotel was about to close and re-open as condo-hotel. It was obvious that they were not restocking hotel toiletries nor updating or maintaining their current facilities.”
