I recently stayed at this hotel, and while it had some great features, there were a few drawbacks. The rooms were spacious and clean, providing a comfortable stay, but I found the external section to be quite loud and less private. The restaurant on-site was convenient, but I wouldn't recommend it for breakfast; better options are available nearby. Overall, it's in a good location for accessing the parks, and the staff was mostly helpful.

My stay at the Holiday Inn Resort Orlando-Lake Buena Vista was mostly enjoyable. The rooms were spacious, clean, and well-equipped, making it feel like a comfortable home away from home. However, the service left something to be desired, particularly with the delay in getting towels. The location is fantastic, close to Disney and Universal, which is a huge plus for families. On the dining front, while the options at Applebee's were fine, they didn't quite impress me overall.

The hotel is in a great location for anyone looking to visit the nearby theme parks, and the rooms are clean and spacious, which was a plus for my family. The service from the staff was friendly, though there were some communication issues that could be improved. Dining options were decent, but the breakfast selection was a bit limited and costly. Overall, I found it to be a good value for money, but with some areas that need attention.

I had a pleasant stay overall. The hotel is spacious and clean, which is great for families, but the noise from the pool area during the evenings was a bit much.

My stay at the hotel was overall pretty good. The location is excellent, just a short drive from major theme parks, which made it super convenient for my family. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, but the air conditioning unit was a bit noisy. The staff was friendly, especially the porters, which added to the experience, but the dining experience left a lot to be desired. The breakfast options were limited and didn't live up to my expectations.

However, I did notice that some areas seemed to lack proper maintenance and attention to detail.

The hotel offered a spacious room with a nice view of the pool area, which I appreciated. However, the room had a strange wet moldy carpet smell. The staff was friendly and helpful, but there were some efficiency issues during my stay. The location is perfect for visiting Disney and Universal, making it convenient without breaking the bank. On the downside, the dining experience wasn't great, particularly the breakfast, which looked like it had been forgotten.

The location was pretty good, close to several restaurants and just a short drive to Disneyworld, but getting in and out was a hassle.
