Für Orlando eine preisgünstige Übernachtungsmöglichkeit.
Pros:

Preis unschlagbar
Appartement wirklich großzügig - 2 Bäder 2 Schlafzimmer - Kochnische Etc.
Lage direkt am international Drive - alles in der Nähe vorhanden.
Pool-Bereich sauber, frische Handtücher.
Kleiner Starbucks fürs schnelle Frühstück im Hotel
Ein/Auschecken problemlos in Minuten/Personal freundlich.

Cons:

Teilweise könnte es etwas sauberer sein - Bad/Wc/Küche war tipptopp - der Rest ging so.
Apartment baubedingt alle recht dunkel

The staff was all incredibly friendly! They offered late checking for a small fee which was perfect for what we needed.
Pros:

The pool and hot tub were very nice and clean. The room was excellent and bigger than expected. The full size fridge was a wonderful addition.

Cons:

It was all wonderful. The construction across the street was a little loud at times but that isn’t the hotels fault.

Great stay for the value in the best location
Pros:

Nice and clean, very comfortable beds and friendly staff. The location was perfect, everything we wanted was in walking distance

Cons:

I know linen is changed every 3 days but would be nice if someone ask if we needed clean towels or anything. Understand it is easy for the guest to ask as well.
