Would rate it a zero if we could! We had a room booked at the Holiday Inn Orange lake resort in Kissimmee. We did book through Expedia. When we got to check in which we were a little early, we were told we would receive a phone call when room was ready and it will be ready by 4. So we figured we would kill some time and explore the pools. Which if you don’t have a car I feel bad for you cause you then have to wait for a shuttle just to take you to a pool! As time past we received no phone call. It was now closer to 5:30. We finally went into guest service office and here our room was ready the whole time but no call or email because they didn’t have the correct phone number and I’m assuming not the right email as well as maybe the people checking in don’t know how to type in correctly.. Anyway finally got our key tags and got to our room. We walked into the smell of mold and mildew threw out the hallways into the room. I should say the whole building smelled of mildew! That should have been our warning. We had a king bed for 2 adults and 2 teens! But it was suppose to be 2 queens. Moving on… As we walked into the room the trim work was fifthly and it just got worse. Mold in bathroom outside of tub the closet door was disgusting.. the blind treatment was hanging off with screws all over the floor. What looked like someone opened a can of soda and sprayed the kitchen cabinets. It was so bad we had decided we didn’t want to stay there nor did we want to change rooms So we decided to cancel. And what really helped us make that decision was the other amount of people in the guest service line that was also complaining. Huge turn off. So we went back down to guest service office and told them the situation which they didn’t even seem to care. And told me I would get my refund of what I paid when checking in. Which was a fee of $43.88 all fine and well since I paid for the resort threw Expedia I would have to touch base with them in order to receive my refund. Well guess what went threw them also and what do you know, No refund! Holiday inn denied our request for the refund from what I was told by Expedia. Absolutely ridiculous! I am posting a few pictures below of the condition of our room! And the whole room should be refunded.. Be aware! This place sucks and is disgusting for the price you pay!! Read less

The hotel room was nice but the rest was a bit frustrating. They have a lazy river which was nice but the rest of the amenities were all things you had to pay extra for. One of the main reasons for booking this hotel was so the kids could play mini golf, to down the big slide do all the extra stuff but to do that you had to pay and extra fee for a bracelet for them to pay. Plus once we saw the big slide it was full of mold and disgusting how they would charge you to go down a molding slimy slide was ridiculous. Then they portrayed at the front desk we would get a tour of the property and wouldn't be too long which then turned to them wanting to keep us to sell a timeshare for 2hours and because we didn't want to stay for that they charged us $75 for that. It was a big disappointment outside of the actual hotel room. I wouldn't go back the lazy river wasn't worth it compared to everything else Read less

We have stayed in this hotel for 2 weeks, the first week we stayed in a 2 bedroom apartment near the main gate, it was old but in good and acceptable condition, however, the second week we moved to a studio in the main building, it was disastrous, the full floors have no outdoor ventilation, and no openable windows, therefore, the corridors and the rooms smelled like humid and like mold, the furniture always felt like wet due to the extreme humidity despite putting the A/C on very low degrees. I am currently sick with extreme allergy because of this room. My recommendation is either stay in the 2 bedroom apartments outside the main building or don’t stay in that hotel at all. Furthermore, the check-in cues are supper long especially if it’s a weekend or a Friday. Read less

I would give negative stars if I could. They misrepresented just about everything related to the "deal". So much for being a great customer because I stay so frequently. RUN RUN RUN. The accommodations were mid at best. Never got to take the tour because my spouse wasn't present. Felt like a money grab because on top of the original charge they… Read more
