• Cleanliness, breakfast convenience and close to attractions. A car with you is an excellent option.
• It suited perfect for us and our teen- agers children.

“We had a wonderful 4-day stay at this hotel. Our vacation trip expectations were met. The weather at this time of the year was perfect. Safe environment and neat, if I have to travel again to this area, I will come back and recommend it to friends and family.”

• It was close, quiet and clean. The breakfast was a huge asset.
• Our bathroom door did not lock, which disturbed our 11 year old son.

“We were traveling to Orlando from north Florida for Night of Joy at Disney's Hollywood Studios. We needed a hotel close to the park because we would be arriving very late and would be very tired for such a busy day. We wanted something that was close, quiet and clean that included breakfast for our family before we set out for home. (We wanted more than a stale doughnut.) The Holiday Inn Express met our needs on every part! The hotel is very quiet (and appeared to be very near full.) The rooms were clean and the breakfast was fantastic. There were enough choices to satisfy everyone in our family! Thanks so much for a wonderful experience!”

“Had 4 people and they saw that when I checked in gave me a king size bed for 2 adults and 2 children. Came back down and all they had was smoking rooms, almost did not stay.”

• Complimentary continental breakfast.
• Location, condition of room, staff responsiveness.

“Not a pleasant experience. Appears that Holiday Inn bought an existing hotel that was not well maintained. Short check-in line. When finished, she apologized for the delay and gave me keys to room. Upon opening room, my 11 year old daughters were greeted by a man coming out of shower (who was equally surprised to see us). I apologized, headed back to front desk and attributed the mistake to the computer and gave us keys to another room. Next room unoccupied but air didn't work, so back to front desk and was told that AC generally takes a few minutes to get started but that someone would check on it while we were out just to be sure. Came back late from Disney, air still not working in room, called front desk and told they had no notes concerning my room and that I should have addressed it when I checked-in. Okay. Miserable night of sleep, got up early and checked out. While checking out, woman in front of my was loudly complaining about quality of her room. Young man at counter was very polite to me and I simply told him to note that the air in our room didn't work.”

• Refrigerator made the room smell like mold, rug was stained, and there was hair in the sheets.

“For the money and the location the hotel was adequate. The front desk was helpful but very busy. The room smelled like mold because of the refrigerator, and there were a few roaches, no soap, and big stains on the carpet.”

• Thin walls, could hear noise clearly in the next room.

“Very happy with my stay at this hotel. Close to all the parks. 3 miles from Disney, 5 to 10 miles from Downtown Disney and the other parks. Super Wal-Mart in walking distance (cheapest place to shop for souvenirs). Also there are plenty of restaurants on 535 to met anyone needs. We will most likely stay at a Disney resort the next time.”

• Nothing special.
• Staff, not at all helpful.

“Staff is not helpful and rather misleading. First day I got smoking room only and the front desk person says specially I booked smoking room and says she will try for non-smoking room the next day but didn't even pass the message to the next person in duty. The next person promised so much but did nothing other than passing the message that too I was requested. Second day evening did stand in the line for 1 hr to talk to the only front desk person serving busy evening, she did to helpless until, luckily, another customer who was requesting non-smoke to smoking room from previous day came at the same time and at the end we are able to exchange. It is not the room type that made us unhappy rather Management.”

• The continental breakfast. One of the best Ive ever had.
• Only one trip going to and from Disney per day! Not what I had been told.

“Loved the hotel for the money, but didnt realize that the bus trolley would only transport one time a day. We wound up paying a lot for parking because we bought the park hopper passes and we could have just stayed inside the park for about the same money and would have been a lot more convenient! Next time we will stay inside the park.”

• It looked nice. Clean and well-maintained.
• Paper-thin walls. Normal conversations in adjacent rooms were transcribably audible. I could hear my neighbors with amazing clarity.

“Really wonderful location--only took about 10 minutes to get parked in one of the Walt Disney World parks. The room lacked any hotel information guide that most hotels seem to keep stocked in the room--usually on the desk or in the nightstand drawer. I loved the interior and the room--both were beautiful and well-kept. My only gripe is the noise. The walls were like onionskin; I am surprised I couldn't see through them. I could hear occupants on both sides of our room speaking in normal, conversational tones. And I don't mean I just heard them; I could have easily recorded their voices with a tape recorder so that one may transcribe the conversations. It was really annoying at night--we had to sleep with the TV on just to drown out the voices. I was very disappointed with that aspect of the hotel, which was so nice in other areas. But I won't stay there again, nor would I recommend it to others. For a business traveler, it has its perks I suppose, but it wouldn't be ideal for someone who needed to wake up early. I've been in terrible, disgusting hotels rooms--but never one where I could hear so clearly my neighbors' conversations.”

“The Hotel was very nice and clean and the staff were wonderful. The only thing that would make this a better place is if they would have a larger and lit entrance sign as we arrived in the evening and the small sign was hard to see thanks to my GPS is was able to see it.”

“Traveling with my husband and two kids I requested a king suite. When we arrived we found a king bed and a torn up sleeper sofa in a single room (very cramped). Had to request another room. Housekeeping only came in one time in a four day stay. Had to call front desk and complain to get that but hotel and its grounds were very well kept.”

• Management took care of my room problems and the breakfast was good and convenient.
• Over half of the equipment in the workout/exercise room was broken. Also, walls are thin so there was some noise.

“I was traveling with my husband and two kids and was informed when had booked us in a room with one king-size bed for the four nights even after we called prior to our trip to request 2 queens. On top of that, when we got to the room, it was designated "handicap" and there was no room for a rollout. At first we were told that no other rooms were available, but when I asked when another room would become available, then the manager was able to change our room to a spacious room with two queen beds. Our stay from then on was great.”
