An excellent hotel, Robert, at the front desk was great, from the time I got there, till the end of the 6 days! After reading all the other hotels in the areas review, it was pretty much a shot in the dark, on which one to pick. Fortunately I picked the correct one. Very clean and maintained at a high standard. Great location to all attractions!

Rated 3.0 out of 5.0 by Mrsfrenchy Poor Shuttle Times
The accommodations and staff were very good. I was very disappointed with the shuttle service times they offered. Only one time in the am to Disney and one time (6:30 pm) back from Disney. The return time was way too early. Be sure to check on shuttle times if this is an important factor when choosing a hotel. It was a big disappointment to us as the free shuttle was one of the major reasons for staying here

Realmente mi experiencia no fue del todo buena. La atención al llegar muy fría (Deme su nombre, permítame una tarjeta, esta es su habitación y la clave de wifi) Solicité si había disponibilidad de habitaciones con vista a la piscina al momento de llegar y la respuesta fue "no hay habitaciones disponibles, estamos full y no se puede cambiar". No me informaron horario del desayuno, no me reconocieron como miembro Prority club (algo que conmunmente me preguntan en el survey que hacen ustedes). La habitación no era para nada silenciosa, la nevera sonaba mucho, se pidió que la fueran a revisar y nunca fueron, la limpieza dejó mucho que desear, nunca repusieron el café en la habitación, en vez de reponer el acondicionador colocaban loción para el cuerpo, en una oportunidad se dejó una toalla en el piso para que la cambiaran y mi sorpresa fue que doblaron la toalla y la volvieron a colocar con las limpias. Los ascensores extremadamente lentos, quizás deban revisar este punto ya que podía uno demorar hasta siete minutos esperando que llegara, esto se repitió mas de una vez. El lugar para desayunar siempre full aunque debo hacer la salvedad que tomaron la previsión de habilitar un salón. El desayuno horrible, lo tomé en una sola ocasión a eso de las 9 de la mañana y todo estaba frío (los huevos revueltos y la tocineta). A Dios gracias hay muchos sitios cerca donde tomar un buen desayuno. Lo bueno del hotel, la ubicación ya que si vas sin automóvil tienes la posibilidad de conseguir tiendas, restaurantes, juegos y hasta un pequeño parque en las cercanías del hotel. Tienes paradas de buses y taxis. Debo decir que salvo el joven que me atendió en el Lobby al llegar y salir del hotel (lamentablemente no recuerdo su nombre) el resto del personal era muy atento.

Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by LibertyGirl Great New Hotel on I-Drive
Its about time they tore down the old Sunspree that was at this location. The last time I stayed there I swore to never return. I've gotta say, the new and improved hotel is fantastic. As a platium member I've stayed at alot of HIE, and this is the first one that had such a large crowd for breakfast, there were food lines in two rooms. Despite the crowd, there was always food out, so they did a great job. Room was great, despite being full, it was still quite. My one complaint remains true with about every HIE; when they upgraded the bedding (nice, thanks) they got rid of the full size blankets, so if you ask for a blanket, you just get another polyester throw, like at the bottom of the bed. Why?!

Good bargain for hotel on International Drive. Just minutes from Universal Studios and Sea World. Slight noise from I-4. Guest laundries were not all working. Otherwise was a great time and very relaxing. Staff and service was excellent.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this hotel for the 3rd time in three years. From the time we checked in until we checked out we had great service. Everything in the room was clean and the breakfast was good with lots of choices. I will recommend this hotel to anyone that needs to stay in Orlando.

Rated 4.0 out of 5.0 Great Hotel -- "Not so Good Location"
Room was fine like usual . . . however upon check-in #I am Platinum# . . . I asked for a room with sort of a view -- only to find out they put me in a room with part of the building arch DIRECTLY in front of my window -- couldn't even see out at all. Not a very attentive desk person if you ask me especially since I specifically asked for that. Oh well -- they did fix it immediately and i appreciated that -- moved us to another room. At other Holiday Inn Exp -- we get free bottle of water AND there is happy hour #complimentary# every late afternoon -- you should do that -- is definitely a "drawer." Felt like I was "in the hood" back in that location though. Just sayin

Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by GiantsFan Very good hotel, great room.
My check in was pleasant and quick. I was recognized as a platinum member, given a complimentary upgrade to a suite, and offered a complimentary water.
The breakfast staff was friendly, and the breakfast was fully ready at opening time.
The room was clean, very comfortable, quiet, and well laid out.
The bathroom was clean, and everything worked well.
I will stay at this hotel again, and would recommend it to others.

Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by BearcatFan Great Stay!
My family just stayed here while visiting Orlando last weekend. We had an awesome stay. The hotel was clean, ready upon arrival, and close to everything we wanted to see! The breakfast was great each morning. The food was different each day, so we all got what we wanted. The front desk staff was VERY helpful. Niesha explained the trolley system and mentioned various landmarks that were a must see for us. I would recommend the trolley system. It worked out great for us. Universal is within walking distance (about a mile), but it was only an $8 cab ride as well.

Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by retfiremedic16 Still nice
Spent another night at this property. Would return or recommend without hesitation.
In my last review I left out one tip. I-4 runs behind this property. If you are a light sleeper ask for a room that faces International Dr.
My review was slightly downgraded from the last, due to minor issues. However, they are no means a deal breaker. Only point them out for the benefit of hotel staff or management.
Pancake machine out of order again. What is the deal with these machines across the hotel chain? More times than not when staying at a HI Express these machines are broken. Breakfast choices seemed limited from what I'm used to when staying at a HI Express. Bread products stale.
Check-in desk clerk was pretty impersonal. Not the best person to meet you for your stay and first impression. Kitchen staff not very hospitable for what their jobs entail.

Although we stayed for only one night, we were very happy with the value we received, from the very courteous and helpful staff to the comfort and coziness of the room. It was exactly what we were looking for and it came at the right price.

Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by firemedic16 One of the nicer properties I have stayed at
Only in town a short time. Went to universal after check-out. Wish we would have booked for another evening. This hotel was very clean. Staff very friendly. Watch the hotel capacity. If you think they are busy, make sure you hit the breakfast early. Waiting too long results in many people trying to get breakfast and then get off to Universal.
This hotel is in a tourist area. Kind of tacky but fun. However, many things to do that are just a short walk away. Many food choices to fit all taste and budgets. We felt very safe walking. If you are going to Universal I have two suggestions. One, buy your tickets prior to arriving at the park. There is a self-service ticket machine by the elevators. Second huge tip. Take a cab to Universal. Between the parking fee and walk from the parking garage it will be well worth your time.

Rated 3.0 out of 5.0 by GreatBigtDog Where's the hot water? Three tries to get a working desk chair?
I was surprised to not experience something I've always looked forward to at Holiday Inn Express Hotels, very hot water for a shower. No matter how long I ran the water, it never increased in temperature beyond tepid. This was disappointing. Usually, there is very hot water available in great abundance at HIE's. Perhaps this place was too worried about the comfort of their wallet in their pocket rather than the comfort of their guests.
The chair in my room was broken. I called down to the front desk and was assured I'd have a new one the next day. Well, no new chair the next day on my return. When I left for dinner, I told the front desk person face to face and again was assure it would be taken care of. I returned from dinner and the same chair was still occupying the desk area. I personally removed the chair from the room, took it down 6 flights on the elevator and delivered it to the front desk with a request for a function chair. About 45 minutes later I had a functioning chair. Wow, what kind of service is this?
Well, it is up to the manager to take care of the guests ultimately and in this case, no hot water, broken chair, the manager failed.

Breakfast Time was not up to Holiday Inn Standards. There were no hard boiled eggs, the waffle machine did not work, there were no napkins, and they ran out of butter. Vouchers should have been given to one of the local restaurants.

Rated 2.0 out of 5.0 by JosieKWYO Hotel needs upgrading
This was definitely not a Holiday Inn Express like what I am used to. Beds were uncomfortable, rooms very dated. Hotel lost power for the better part of a day, the elevators were broken as well. The hotel really needs to be upgraded to be called an HI Express. I think there are much better choices of hotels in this price range - I will say that the staff was very helpful. They were very friendly and they were the best part of my stay here.

Rated 4.0 out of 5.0 by Seagulls Very clean and comfortable location
This hotel is located right in the heart of International Drive which makes it a perfect location for tourists. The staff was very friendly and courteous and were very accommodating. The service was great at the hotel as well as during breakfast. We had originally intended on staying longer, but, we ended our stay early because it did not have a heated pool. We flew in from Canada for the heat and were quite disappointed (and it seems to be the only Holiday Inn Express in Orlando and Tampa that does not have a heated pool). Otherwise, I would highly recommend this location and would return again (in the summer).

I am a priority club member and i had reservation. The male staff did not even greet or even consider us waiting (when no one else is there).. he was just doing his work with papers.. after 5-10 minutes, he asked "What you want?"... after telling him that i need to check in and told my name,,, he took the room card and prepared it slowly and gave it to me and showed the direction to the elevator in hand.. did not even speak a bit... he didnt even tell me any details regarding the hotel or anything... i asked few questions and he gave be 1 word answer//yes/no... we were disappointed how we were treated... some kind of discrimination...

Rated 4.0 out of 5.0 by JT50 Good bang for Buck
Compared to other HI express, we find this hotel a very good deal overall especially for Florida. The staff are great, the rooms have been good and love the location just down the road from Dunkin Donuts and all the other attracions on I- Drive.. Front desk have bee great to give us upgrades at platinum members as available. Only slight downfall recently was due to unheated pool could not go swimming and it did not get alot of sun. We were also disappointed the hot tub was out of order. Highly recommend the hotel for a leisurely stay. Will be back, whether all brightter here than at home .
