    limited breakfast options

    We had a fantastic time visiting Gatorland during our stay! The kids loved seeing the gators up close and even got to feed some. The hotel offered an easy drive to the park, and our room was spacious enough for our large family. Our experience was made even better by the friendly front desk staff.

    My children wanted a wider variety of breakfast options. One morning we had only the basics, and it would have been great to have some fun items like waffles or pancakes for the kids.

    great breakfast

    My stay at Sonesta was excellent. The check-in process was seamless, and the staff demonstrated a kind and welcoming demeanor throughout my visit. The room was not only clean but also spacious, featuring a refrigerator that was a pleasant surprise. The breakfast exceeded my expectations with a variety of options, including eggs, bacon, and a pancake machine. The fitness center was well-equipped, allowing me to maintain my routine during my business trip.

    good breakfast

    Not for those who want comfort

    There was a very nice girl at check-in who got us an early check-in after our flight got canceled, which was a relief, really. The breakfast was decent, but the line was so long my kids lost their appetite and never got to eat.

    It wasn’t cheap, but could've been way better for the price.

    good value

    This hotel was a great fit for a weekend vacation in Orlando with extraordinary good value for money. The staff was friendly and even provided a full cup of coffee when I missed breakfast, which was a nice touch. Make sure to ask about nearby dining options as the selection is somewhat limited.

    minor inconveniences

    The King Room was spacious and extremely comfortable, perfect for unwinding after a long day. The staff were welcoming, particularly Val, who assisted us with our luggage and ensured our shuttle ride was smooth. Nearby dining options, especially the waffle house, made late-night meals easy. However, the bathroom could use some updating for a fresher feel.

    My stay was pleasant, especially the friendly staff who welcomed me after my long flight. The location was ideal, close to eateries like waffle house, and the room was clean and spacious. Breakfast hit the spot with a good selection to start my day well.

    bathroom could use a bit of updating.

    friendly staff
    convenient amenities

    Check this place out if you need a good night's rest before a long flight. The staff was kind, even offering me coffee and fruit after breakfast had ended.

    It wasn’t exactly inexpensive, but it was still acceptable.
