• The landscape and pools were very nice.
• The room was a little dated, had a faint musty smell.

• Nice grounds, convenient location.
• Non-optional $11/day fee added to bill for transportation to theme parks ad coupons given for bar not open, unbearably hard bed.

“Nice grounds and room, but the bed was the absolute hardest I have ever slept on at any hotel at any time. I do not think we will ever stay at a Radisson again because of this. A bad bed cancels out the other positive things!”

• Close to Disney World.
• Beds too hard.

“Our family stayed for 3 nights. The beds were rock hard. You think, Radisson has Sleep Number beds and that is why we picked this hotel. The location is the only good thing about the hotel if you are going to Disney or Sea World. The staff was good at their job but not very friendly. The ad said the pool was heated, Not. The hot tub was almost as cold as the not heated pool. We did find the other hot tub on the backside of the pool with the slide.”

• Seemed safe.
• Small beds and rooms.

“There was an additional $11/night room charge. The room was slightly smaller than expected, and the beds were tiny but they were comfortable. I tried to move one night and almost fell out of it. One morning the power didn't work in the bathroom or entrance but staff fixed it in under 30 min. It's not a hotel I would call a 3-star from the room, but it is 3-star from its public areas. The room was a little musty, and slightly smaller than what a typical hotel room size is. If I was to categorize the room, I would give it a 2.5 at best.”

• Lots of Bells and whistles, very attractive, great and perfect location.
• The single room bathroom was small.

“This hotel has lots of Bells and whistles. It is very attractive, and it's in a great and perfect location. The whirlpools, pool, and water slide were great. This hotel is in the best location in all of Orlando. Everything is only a short distance away.”

“Ideal location in town, but near to the Interstate. Easy for traveling to all the parks. Beautiful attended gardens and waterfall. Rooms are clean and spacious with comfortable beds, and attractive rattan furnishings. Staff was all pleasant and helpful. I would definitely stay here again!”

• The location was great. Lots of good restaurants nearby, close to theme parks.
• The bathroom was very small, and the sink/mirror was inside bathroom rather than being separate. Didn't put clean linen on bed when room was cleaned.

“The grounds were nice and well kept. The room was clean but smaller than it appeared in the pictures. Hotel staff was very nice and helpful. The pools and spas were maintained beautifully and the water slide was pretty cool. The hotel is in a prime location. Close to the theme parks, lots of restaurants, and shopping outlets. The only real problem was the parking because when we got in late we had to park on a totally opposite end of the hotel from where our room was and walk over, but I would definitely stay there again.”

• It was clean and had nice linens, nicely decorated bathroom.
• Most uncomfortable bed I ever slept on in my entire life and hotel decor seemed outdated in parts.

“The staff was nice. The rooms were clean with nice bed linens on the most uncomfortable bed ever. I was not happy with the surprise $11.00 resort fee per day for transportation to Disney and resort activities when we did not participate in either. Overall, nice place but will not stay there again due to complete discomfort during sleep.”

• Room was clean.
• Riculous hidden charges - 18% added to breakfast buffet - $35 for breakfast - activities are a joke and you have to pay for them.

“Never ever should this be called a hotel - It is a large motel. I would not stay the second night as the bed - although it did have a white down duvet - was hard as a rock - movie on demand (which we paid for and called about) was out of sync with the words and picture. I never felt safe in the parking lot - Not adequate signage - people standing outside of doors smoking and drinking beer - Advertised activity which you must pay for when you check in whether you want to is a true joke.”

• Very family friendly and safe with lots of activities for children and adults alike.
• The main pool was not heated; therefore the water was cold even though it was hot outside.

“Although this Radisson is not the newest of hotel/resort properties, the friendly staff, renovations and upkeep (including beautiful landscaping with several waterfalls and pools strategically laid out throughout the complex) and location make it the perfect hotel to stay at if you are searching for something very close to, but not at Disney World.”

• Fixed the problems after I irately demanded of the manager and switched to another hotel for two days because it was so bad.
• Requested smoking, put me in 'non-smoking' that reeked of tobacco, stale cologne, and carpet freshener. Refused to adjust resort fee 4 days not there.

“This is a 2.5 star hotel masquerading as a 3 star because it is a 'resort.' They refused to keep me in the same room for all 5 nights. Most of the staff seemed new or illiterate in English, and therefore clueless and incompetent. I don't care what nation a staff member represents, I care that they do their jobs competently instead of having to run to the back to ask the manager questions 3 times during a simple check in process. After raising heck with the manager and paying to stay at a superior hotel for 2 days while still being billed (including the resort fee) for this one, most of the problems were corrected on my second and last day there (out of 5 days scheduled and paid for), even though it was a section under renovation that the hotel refused to give me initially. Those renovation issues were more acceptable to me than the stale smoke, cologne, nasty carpet freshener, cigarette burns, and mold in the first room which I was told I couldn't smoke in and would be billed a huge amount if I did.”

• Nothing.
• Everything - very poor service.

“We were scheduled to arrive on Saturday, March 22 very early - around 4 AM, so the reservation was actually for March 21. We were told twice when I called ahead that they would save our room for us since were checking in so late (around 4 AM on Saturday March 22).We arrived around 5:45 AM. My sister went in to check in and came back after about 20 minutes. They had lost our reservation. They said they had a large conference check in and they had lost five reservations. Ours was one of them. The front desk clerk didn't tell my sister what was going on when she checked in - he just called the manager. The manager told us to go to the Radisson Hotel Lake Buena Vista and they would house us for the night since that was our reservation. Clearly they had that wrong, too, since we had paid for two nights. He said we would have to come back that afternoon since they would only pay for a room at the other hotel for one night. We had a two year old with us and were not interested in moving. We explained we had just driven 18 hours. He offered to let us shower in a room a guest had just checked out of. He'd make sure we had clean towels. I'm not joking or exaggerating - he really said this. We said no way. He said we'd have to talk to the day manager about not having to move back to the Resort Celebration on the night of the 22nd.We arrived at the Radisson Hotel Lake Buena Vista only to find that the manager at Radisson Resort Orlando - Celebration hadn't even called ahead to make sure that Lake Buena Vista had rooms! He sent us with a letter to pay for one night. We were very unhappy, but the manager at Lake Buena Vista was fantastic! He set us up for one night and sent us up to the room since he understood we were exhausted from our long 18 hour drive from Ohio. About 15 minutes later, the manager at Lake Buena Vista called us in our room and told us he had taken care of the reservation from Radisson Resort Orlando Celebration and we would not have to move.”

• Good amenities - pool, spa, water slide.
• The $11.30 per day "recreation fee" is stupid - why separate from room rate? Playing games with pricing!

“Relatively clean. Decent room for what we paid, but hard beds. We were focused on Universal Studios this year for spring break and the distance/traffic from hotel is not good. Plenty of closer hotels. Felt safe, friendly staff, nice pool and spa areas. Free wireless internet worked well (not available in all buildings). They did let us check-in a little early which we greatly appreciated. The $11/day recreation fee is silly and just a way to pad the revenue. If you're going to charge for it put it in the room rate and stop playing games.”

• The staff is incredibly rude.

“Good luck finding a staff member that smiles, let alone speaks English. The staff is incredibly unhelpful. Our room had no pillows or towels and it took 3 hours for the staff to rectify. The employee at the quick service restaurant took my order, I paid and then he stared at me for a minute and said "what do you want?" I asked for my credit card back and he slid it across the counter on to the floor. Not a pleasant experience at all. I will never go back to this hotel. The only positive is that the hotel has sleep number beds.”

• Location.
• The room.

“This was without doubt the worst room I have stayed in for the last ten years. I was lead to believe that it was separated with another area for children to sleep, it was not. The room looked old, torn carpet at the cloth set, the bathroom has a cracked sink, urine stains on the toilet bottom, rust in the shower, and rust on the door. As far as the sleep number beds, one barely worked, and the other didn't work at all. The filter in the air conditioning unit was filthy and looked as if it hadn't been replaced in years. The room we were given was on the second floor just above the walkway so the shaded had to be pulled all the time to prevent people looking in on us, so there was no view, not that there was a view with the shades open. Nothing to see at all. A great view of a parking lot. As far as dining, room service was ok, but the main restaurant of the complex, was average food at best, and although children eat for free, two adult breakfasts were nearly $40. Would have been much better off driving 2 miles down the road and eating at golden corral. Had a small refrigerator, but no microwave in the room. I would never stay at this hotel again. A room at the Econolodge would have been just as nice, and less money.”

“The two main things that we did not like was that when we took our showers, the tub filled up and it took a very long time to drain out. The other thing was there was vomit by the elevator on the tile. It took a while for someone to clean it up. We found that rather disgusting. When there was something on the floor, the staff generally walked by and did not pick it up.”

“If you are going to stay here for rest. Dont stay here. The slamming of doors in rooms all around you will make you crazy. The walk to the room was about two or so miles so be ready to walk and then try to find your room in the maze. Youll understand what I mean. If you decide to stay at this hotel.”
