Just Meh. This is my second stay here. The first time was about a decade ago and it was horrible. I figured I would give it another shot based on reviews and that was a bit of a mistake on my end. As a bonvoy member and someone that has stayed at many Marriotts especially in the Orlando area, this one is my biggest disappointment. Check in, no one is smiling or happy to check you in. It was a very lack luster check in and honestly not what we typically see at Marriott Hotels and Resorts. I had to come down to the check in area again for something a few days later and again, not super nice, welcoming, or helpful. The bellman was the highlight, he was welcoming and prompt with our luggage. We valet parked our entire stay- however even when we called down to have our vehicle ready, most times it was not and we had to get down there only to find out they didn't even attempt to go get our vehicle yet. The room themselves are laid out a little weird and the AC is not great. We had ours down as far as it could go and had two travel fans with us and it just seemed like we couldn't get the room cool. We actually had two rooms this time and our connecting room was the same way. The pool area was gross and not well kept up which is the exact same experience I had years ago which I thought was maybe a fluke but now being back I realize is the norm. Trash is everywhere, left over drinks and food are left for hours. No one is really that helpful and quick to do anything. The waterpark we attempted to go to and it was closed down after about 5 minutes of getting there because there was glass in the pool. We asked about how long that would take to rectify and they said an hour but due to incoming weather they were not going to reopen.. there was no bad weather, but they never reopened, so that was a bummer. The hotel's website hyped up a Luau and Glow Party- let me tell you how not impressed that was. The Luau was small, and the hula dancers and fire dancer was on stage for about 7 minutes total. The glow party was not what you would expect either. They had a movie playing until about 9, and then they did their nightly laser show, followed by turning all the lights back on by 9:12 and then letting people know every 15 minutes how long until the pool closed. They did have glow sticks so I guess thats what they counted for a Glow Party. Overall, I would not stay here again and am disappointed that we tried it again. I would suggest pretty much any other Marriott in the area other than this as you will get more for your money and have much better experiences. Read less

We spent 5 Nights and 6 Days at the Orlando World Center Marriott for a Family Vacation. We wanted somewhere where there was enough to do without having to leave the resort every day but also somewhere close to attractions incase the urge took us. We booked a room with a balcony and laser show pool view. Ahead of time we booked a Cabana for 2 of the days and I also paid to have early check in on the day we arrived so we could get to our room and enjoy the resort as our flight arrived early. The first impression you get when you arrive is that this place is BIG. I dropped my family off so they could take our bags in and get checked in while I parked our rental car in the on-site parking. Warning, the Parking Garage is about a 5-7 Minute walk away from the lobby and you have to travel through the conference center to get to it. Not a huge pain as we really weren't planning on leaving the hotel every day, but if you are planning on using your rental car every day then take this into account as it could be a pain. Check in was easy, our room had a great view of not only the pool but also the Epcot Fireworks in the evening. Lots of Dining Choices, expensive but what isn't nowadays. Our room was on the 17th floor and only a few steps from the main elevators so we never really had a problem getting around, but I would imagine if your room is at one of the further towers it could be a challenge. Service was fine, room was decent and overall it was what we expected from a mid-range Hotel. Pretty disappointed that the Water Slides in the main pool area were down for repair, looking at other peoples reviews it would seem it's been closed for a while, but my daughter was disappointed that the slide wasn't operational and you had to go to the Water Park to enjoy amenities that were paid for....they could have put a notice on their website or something...seems a little dishonest. There was supposed to be a room credit applied to our bill at the end which never happened, but I was honestly running late to leave for our flight so didn't have the time or energy to argue at the front desk about it. I think if we were going to Orlando to spend time away from the Hotel I would pick a different resort, but if you're planning on having at least a couple of days to chill and not venture out and about there is plenty to keep you occupied.

I wrote a far lengthier review on Marriott's own website, so if you're interested please look it up under "ltannermd". We waited over 3 hours for the room to be readied... this was AFTER we arrived 45 mins beyond our check in time. No reasonable accommodations were given during our wait in the hotel lobby/restaurant. We have small kids. The room was misrepresented online. It was supposed to be a "fairway view suite". There was no view. Only a roofline that extended out past our own balcony railing approximately 15 feet. It had exposed vents, lightning rods and pebbles. No fairway, no view. The hotel provided a small refund for our inconvenience but never admitted its disingenuous misrepresentation of the room we paid for. They tried to tell me "not every room will have the view". Yeah, that makes sense, unless you PAID for it. Food was ok. Not great, not terrible, but for the price they should do much better. Room had some damaged paint, no decorations, no real amenities at all. The fridge malfunctioned and the desk staff tried to explain it away stating, "it's not really a refrigerator at all... it's a 'chiller'". Not sure what that's supposed to mean since there's a sign over the cabinet it's stored in stating "REFRIGERATOR" and the precise make and model of the device specify it's a fridge on its website. I don't appreciate being lied to or misled. This was the second time they tried to misrepresent themselves.... now it's a pattern. I wouldn't give them any of my money again. The pool area was nice, but for this part of the world you expect it. No special points for that. This property falls far short of the mark on the one thing they never, ever should... being an exceptional hotel. The waterpark/golfcourse/convention center stuff is secondary. Hotel first. Read less

The resort is beautiful! We got to the resort early as we had an early morning flight. They let us check in right away which was great. We are BONVOY members so I am not sure if that matters. The water park and lazy river was the best we have seen so far in Orlando. Enough chairs with shade. Drinks were a little pricey, $20 for a Margarita, but we… Read more
The resort is beautiful! We got to the resort early as we had an early morning flight. They let us check in right away which was great. We are BONVOY members so I am not sure if that matters. The water park and lazy river was the best we have seen so far in Orlando. Enough chairs with shade. Drinks were a little pricey, $20 for a Margarita, but we only had 1 or 2. Body slides were closed but my son had plenty to do. Main pool was nice, TVs had soccer on, laser show at night over the pool was amazing. 2 Queen room was large and immaculate, beds were comfortable. We sat on the balcony and had coffee every morning. So peaceful and beautiful pool view. All of the staff were so nice and accommodating. Shuttle to Magic Kingdom was convenient. We took a quick 2 day trip and it was amazing. We will be back soon.
