Our Favorite Hotel in Orlando
Pros:

My wife and I have been enjoying our stays at the Florida Hotel and Conference Center for more than 20 years for personal or professional appointments, conferences or just for pleasure. The hotel is a beautifully elegant and comfortable accommodation that always provides the very best in service. The hotel provides a great variety of dining experiences but also opens to an exceptional mall, so there is really no need to drive around looking for restaurants or shops. However, we are most appreciative of the gracious staff that begins with a warm welcome from Mo or Jean and then cheerful greetings at check-in. The hotel staff really go out of their way to ensure a great stay, and we thank them all for so many years of making our stays so enjoyable, relaxing, and refreshing.

Excellent Hotel
Pros:

This Hotel has it all. Comfortable beds in a large comfortable, spotlessly clean spacious room.
The room itself has a kettle, coffee machine, microwave and fridge.
The staff always go above and beyond for all their guests. The pool is large and warm with many beds to relax on. The Gym is very well equipped. Crickets bar has great food and a good selection of drinks. The breakfast buffet has literally everything you can think of including an omelet station and the coffee is perfect.
And to top all of this is the wonderful shopping mall.
This hotel has it all so look no further and book now.
True review.

Fabulous hotel!!!
Pros:

This hotel honestly is incredible. The rooms are just amazing, spacious and clean. Your staff are just wonderful and the food in Crickets and the main restaurant are superb. Breakfast is fantastic, offering a variety of dishes. Attached to the Florida Mall and near Target, you have an abundance of 🛒 choices. The hotel gym is just amazing with a lot of machines and weights. I'll most certainly be back.

Can't beat The Florida Hotel experience!
Pros:

The Florida Hotel is a complete 5-star experience and well worth the cost. The employees are polite, professional, and helpful beyond measure. This was my second year attending a conference at The Florida Hotel and they exceeded my expectations once again.

The ENTIRE hotel is clean and smells AH-MAZING!!! The atmosphere is warm and inviting for people of all ages and demographics. I HIGHLY recommend The Florida Hotel whether you are visiting for a vacation, a conference, or a couple's getaway. You will NOT be disappointed.

10 plus hours of uninterrupted sleep! This is the place to be!
Pros:

Great clean antmosphere and a super friendly staff. I travel a lot for work - I sleep in a hotel room 5 nights a week and I got in from a red eye flight around 7am. The room was comfortable and floors were quiet. I slept from 7am to 5:30pm UNINTERRUPTED! Best sleep ever! Can’t wait to come back!
