We chose this as it was the 1st on the list low to high price, and thought it would do as we only needed somewhere to lay our head. How good a hotel, spotlessly clean, coffee maker, iron, hair dryer wonderful. Location was very good for Disney parks and shops and food on the doorstep. Will definitely be staying again

It had been in our heads for a long time that we were going to spend our holiday in Orlando and so we chose Maingate Lakeside Resort as it certainly looked appealing. What we needed was somewhere cheap and somewhere that can be a good base for us whilst we recover from walking around all the themeparks. We chose this... More

Good hotel in good location for the price (less than $40/night), although the $10 resort fee is just a cash grab in return for nothing. If you don't plan on staying in your room much and want to be close to Disney then this is an OK option. I was traveling alone on business so it was fine but not... More

We've stayed here twice now and think it is the perfect value hotel. Rooms are clean and spacious, pool area is attractive, and the breakfast buffet is fabulous for the price. Disney is just a couple of miles away, and there are plenty of dining options nearby. While the area lacks the hustle and bustle of International Drive, it is... More

Let me start off by saying the manager Wes could not have been nicer, more helpful or more embarrassed of our situation. We arrived and checked the mattress for bedbugs(hey I'm a New Yorker). No bedbugs just a huge blood stain on the mattress. That's horrific if not dangerous to have crusty blood on a mattress. Wes moved us to... More

We came here for a weekend get away. We had an amazing time here. The barman David was incredible. He is friendly and very helpful. Went above and beyond for us. We would come back again just to hang with him.

I must admit that this, my third review visit, found the room much cleaner and the motel (it's not a resort) quieter. However, customer service here is still terrible! First, upon check-in, you are charged $10 now, per night, for the comically-named "Resort Fee". They raised the price from $7.50, yet took away in-room Internet access! Yes...that's right...you pay $10... More
