It was just " ok"

This hotel is very dated. Semi clean. Could use a.little more work. We got this hotel after our flights were cancelled and settled for it. On a busy highway near airport but not many more amenities
Hotel has cheap flooring and tries to look updated. It was just mid line. Not great but not terrible either.
Pool was heated but could use updates
Best Hospitality in Orlando!

By the time we arrived at the hotel, we were exhausted.
Our energy was revived upon our check-in as soon as we met Amy!
Her professionalism and friendly personality swiftly diffused our ‘attitudes’ immediately!
We had a total of three rooms on the 7th floor, all with King-sized beds. The rooms were spacious and very clean. Multiple power outlets were available. Bathroom was well stocked.
Facility is less than 3 miles from MCO Airport. It has a bar, restaurant, snack center and a pool. There is also a Charging Station, Computers and Microwave located in the lobby for guests to use. Onsite parking for a fee.
Easy access to convenience store and restaurants.
If I return to the MCO/Orlando area, this specific location will be my preferred choice for accommodations.

Great Shuttle, Hotel Not So Much ............
Mar 12, 2025ToSquareBob1Kitchener, Canada
We stayed here for a single night landing at MCO late, after our car rental company closed for the evening. Our plan was to take the shuttle to the hotel, sleep and then shuttle back in the morning to pick up our car.
The shuttle was fantastic, both to and from the airport. Quick (like a 10 minute ride), and the drivers were extremely friendly.…

We stayed here for a single night landing at MCO late, after our car rental company closed for the evening. Our plan was to take the shuttle to the hotel, sleep and then shuttle back in the morning to pick up our car.
The shuttle was fantastic, both to and from the airport. Quick (like a 10 minute ride), and the drivers were extremely friendly. The young lady who checked us in was also great: friendly and made us feel welcome.
The room was not great: an over powering chemical smell that if we has to guess was used to cover up the smell of smoke and / or pot: my wife. No hot water (luke warm at best), dirty carpets, dated furnishings, etc. Also, although it didn't effect us, they charge for parking which seems odd for an airport property that's not downtown,
If you could take the shuttle service to a different (nicer) hotel, you would have a winner!

We recently stayed at your hotel from March 9-10, 2025, and I wanted to share our experience. After reading the reviews on TripAdvisor, I was surprised by how different our stay was compared to what we expected.
Upon arrival, we noticed cigarette butts and trash scattered outside the hotel, which was disappointing. However, the lobby was a pleasant contrast—clean and welcoming, with friendly staff who made us feel at home.
Unfortunately, our room did not meet the same standard. The smell was overwhelming, and we noticed several unsealed spots in the bathroom, along with rust on the door frames. The carpet was in poor condition, prompting us to advise our children not to walk barefoot.
Our brother-in-law, who stayed across the hall, encountered an even more concerning issue: COCKROACHES in his room and refrigerator, which later contaminated their food.
When we visited the pool area, we found leaves and trash scattered around, with dirty towels left in the landscaping. It seemed like the facility lacked regular maintenance. The pool itself was uninviting, with visible dirt and debris at the bottom, and the water was uncomfortably cold.
On a positive note, the bed and towels were clean and tidy, which we appreciated. However, these aspects were overshadowed by the other issues we encountered, making it difficult to enjoy our stay.
