• The water view was beautiful.
• The musty smell in the room.

“ Far from the main part of Key West, but has a great view of the water. The pool is beautiful. A bit costly. There is a fridge in the room and a balcony over looking the pool and the water. ”

• The hotel was very convenient to where I needed to be.
• The water heater broke down the first day, but they were quick to make good on it.

“The hotel was actually better than I'd expected it to be based on other evaluations. The neighborhood was not a bad neighborhood at all. It's just downtown. The valet parking was also not bad even though the parking lot is not secure. Overall, I plan on staying there every time I need to be closer to my downtown venues.”

• It was quiet.
• The front desk staff was rude.

“The hotel itself was ok. I didnt like that fact that is was mandatory valet parking, but they charged you $14 for it. If its mandatory they shouldnt charge you for it.”

• Location and service.
• The shower pressure was very low and hard to adjust.

“Nice entrance area with easy check-in service. The room was clean and the maid service was great everyday. I would recommend this hotel to others who want to stay in that area.”

• Nice lobby, public area, good fitness and pool and 2nd floor deck.
• Parking situation was uncomfortable.

“Surprised by the extra charge for forced valet parking at 15 dollars a day, never mentioned up front. Shocked into submission on arrival, no choice. Changes your view of all that follows to be frank, the room was just ok, nice that one could open the windows. It is an older hotel but clean, and quiet, pool was nice and the deck area. Good location but heavy traffic each night as a basketball venue is across the street great location for downtown Orlando which was lively at night and dead during the day - great park within walking distance - great hotel for walking as the car was trapped ok experience overall.”

• If your looking to go to an Orlando Magic game you can't get much closer.
• No shuttle service to airport.

“Great location with many amenities to offer from a sports bar, fine dining, and a new exercise room. Again you cannot get much closer to the Orlando Magic Arena. The Motel is also located fairly close to lake Eola which is circled with a walking/jogging track.”

• It is directly across the street from several event venues.
• The room's temperature was uncomfortable. I think the a/c unit was not functioning properly.

“The lobby was clean and nicely decorated. The desk clerks were professional but certainly not warm and friendly. This hotel is a totally non-smoking hotel. The room was clean but, except for the bed's dressing, was unremarkable and looked like any other hotel room. We ordered room service. The food was delivered when promised. It was tasty, but no condiments were provided.”

• Value for location to downtown Orlando.
• Too late of a Check in time.

“I loved this hotel. It had everything I could ask for and it was close to all of the things that were on my agenda to visit. The staff was friendly and eager to assist with any request. I felt safe and was able to relax and enjoy my stay in Orlando.”

• The hotel was elegant and clean.
• The hotel is in the middle of the ghetto.

“The hotel itself is beautiful. I didn't like the fact that they insist on parking our car in the lot just 20 feet from the door at a $12 per day fee. I didn't like the location. It is a very bad neighborhood and too far from the Convention Center. It seemed strange to have a fancy hotel with fancy prices in the middle of the ghetto.”

“This Hotel shows 4 or more stars from the moment you drive into the valet parking. The service is great and the entertaiment is the best. The rooms are very comfortable, and all together makes this experience unforgettable.”

• Parking for $9 a day open air and small room

“I resent all hotels where you get charged for parking. All that does is make the roomn look cheaper when it really is not. The room size seemed quite small, with no room other than the beds.”

• Location was good, but not safe for women travel alone
• 3 stars hotel with no refrigerator or a safe box in the room

“I like the pool, the nice mood of the sports bar. Room service was also very good with food and addtional supplies. The staff was extremely helpful. Security within the hotel was also very good. I did not like the fact that there were always local homeless people not to far from the hotel. It doesn't seem like a place where you can take a walk. A Rent- a- car is a must.”

“Very nice hotel with three restaurants located within. However, I have never stayed at a hotel that charged you for valet parking without the option of not using it. Overall, the stay was great! The hotel was beautiful.”

• location was awesome close to everything great staff very clean for the money.
• had to valet park and there was not someone available to park you all the time.

“Hotel staff was great,location was good ,hotel was nice and clean, the valet parking was very frustrating I was asked to park my own car when checking in the first time because they were busy so I did, no problem , then when I was ready to come back later in the night noone was there to park it , again I had to park down the street because there was not a parking garage in sight. And I was still charged a 9.00 valet fee not happy.but other than that stay was great.”

• Not being able to choose the place or having to change what I really wanted when shopping for a hotel.

“I truly had a great time, it was a very nice hotel. However, I was looking for something a little more, a place with a full spa. I had hoped to relax a little more take a long hot bath, get a massage, pedicure and manicure. But overall it was nice.”

• The staff was very friendly and inviting; they were willing to answer any questions we had.
• The only thing I can really find fault with was the comfort of the bed; my husband and I both had a difficult time getting comfortable.

“I would contact the hotel for directions as opposed to using map quest; we had a slightly difficult finding the hotel at first, but after we got there, the service was very friendly and helpful, the lobby was very clean and upscale, and our room was clean and comfortable. Apart from having a somewhat difficult getting completely comfortable in our bed, we had no complaints about our stay at the Marriott. We would stay there again.”

• The bed spreads were the most comfortable I've ever had in any hotel I've ever stayed in.
• No self parking and it's 9 dollars a day to park there for guests and 3 dollars for visitors. It seems like it should be the other way around.

“Excellent quality hotel in good downtown Orlando location. Very spacious rooms with many amenities ( web access, coffee, desk area, couch/lounge) with King bed. Restaurant/food in hotel including large sports bar with food service. Attractive lobby and front desk. Convenient Valet service at front door.”

“The Marriot Downtown was a very nice hotel. I was surprised to find it was a few blocks from downtown, but nothing more than a 5-10 minute walk. It had a plentiful amount of ammenities: resturant, bar, the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in, valet parking, nice views, etc. It did not have an airport shuttle service, which was disappointing for me due to my traveling costs already. To future travelers, the hotel is quite aways away from the airport. Overall, I was very satisfied with my stay, especially considering the comfort of the bed! I would strongly recommed this hotel!”

“The hotel room was beautiful & very comfortable. It was very convenient to the downtown Orlando area. The outside of the hotel building was not as nice, which was a bit disappointing. It appears that it is under construction at this time. I also did not like the fact that there is "no self park" and that it is valet only. I don't mind the valet service but they charge you $9.00. I would prefer to have the option & not be forced to pay for a service that the hotel provides. I was not very happy, either, when I picked up my car the next morning & there were 2 dents on the side of the car. The valet attendants were very careless. I had to fill out an incident report. I have yet to be contacted by the hotel, as I was instructed they would. There was also a very long line to valet park as well as a long line to pick up your car. Apart from that the room & the lobby area were very nice.”
