Fabulous
Most everyone was pleasant and super helpful
The gentleman bartender was less than desirable. We asked questions about the drinks and he basically told us that it's on the menu instead of explaining it to us. Had his earbuds in the whole time talking to someone. Just a sour experience with him

Perfect! Provides comfort, convenience and the staff was great!
The size of the corner suite. The overall cleanliness of the hotel. The location. If I wanted to attend a concert, I can walk from the hotel….literally a 3 minute walk.
$30 a night parking (valet only!)

Thanks to GPS found the hotel.
3 September 2024
It was a nice trip and I wouldn’t mind staying again even with the valet.
The location wasn’t completely in the center but we could walk to a movie theatre and convenient store like 7/11. Now the traffic was…well it was downtown but no onsite parking which was annoying but we just walked more. Parking is valet only and $28 a night so keep that in mind.
Valet parking being the only option. I’m from Tampa and there’s some free parking options but in Orlando there is none, which is at no fault of the facility.

Wonderful, kind staff & very happy with the stay
The staff were so welcoming and kind & the facility was so clean and modern. Located very well if you’re going to a concert at the Kia center like we did. They even upgraded our room when we got there just because! Even the valet staff were so helpful and kind. I will def be staying here again when I come back to Orlando
Honestly there wasn’t anything I didn’t like about the property.

Wonderful hotel for concert night

Exceptional hotel, very clean, large rooms!
Everything was perfect, we loved our room. Very clean, so large and comfortable. Our t.v. remote didn't work and we were out of body wash, but that was a minor thing. Overall, loved it! Walking distance to our concert at the Kia Arena.
Everything was great!

Perfect location for going to the Phillips Center.
Great location; comfortable, spacious room; friendly staff. Effective A/C.
Neither the toilet nor the faucet on the bathroom sink were properly attached; both wobbled significantly when used.

Breakfast was not worth it. It came free with the package, but not worth purchasing. My breakfast sandwich was still cold after coming out of the microwave

Highly recommended this place. Great location, nice view, great service.
Beautiful location, very friendly stuff, very pets friendly
Don’t order a breakfast. It’s cost about $30/room when book on Booking.com but you’ll get a coupon for 20$ in a snack bar. Not worth of it, really. Parking is not included and costs $28 valet.

Great stay at city center!
We loved the hotel! Unfortunately we were there only for one night as we were just passing through Orlando, but we will definitely choose the brand again when traveling. The rooms were big and cozy. The reception and valet staff were polite and welcoming! We felt great 😊

The staff was so accommodating. They gave us advice of where to go eat and provided umbrellas because we were not prepared. They were a blessing.
We wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy the extras.
