I had two separate stays at the Holiday Inn Main Gate East, split up by a weekend in between. Here is the rundown:
Overall: The room in Tower 1 seemed a little better maintained, the Tower 2 room was showing signs of wear (drywall broken around outlets, etc.). The Tower 2 room had a larger bathroom. Otherwise as far as decor both rooms were identical, with fairly new fixtures and linens, etc. Daily housekeeping were on their game both times. The hotel has a food court with a Pizza Hut and A&W (open limited hours), there is a small bar, a gift/snack shop, and outdoor pool/hot tub/kiddie pool. Check in was a breeze both times with friendly staff. There are plenty of restaurants and gift shops within walking distance and a 24 Hour McDonalds adjacent to the hotel. Old Town is across the road and they offer a morning shuttle to the Theme Parks/evening shuttle back, it's once daily from what I saw so plan on a full day there or have take your own car. You can rent a car onsite as well.
Stay #1 (3 nights): We were given a 2 Queen bedroom on floor 8 in the "first tower" with a nice balcony overlooking the pool. Other than the occasional screeching child from the pool it was fairly quiet, and since the pool closes at 11 p.m. it was very quiet for sleeping.
Stay #2 (4 nights): We were given a 2 Queen bedroom on floor 6 in the "second tower" with a balcony overlooking the back parking lot and a pond, which I would NOT recommend...there was a conference of athletes staying at the hotel and there were buses running under our room ALL NIGHT LONG. We were on the 6th floor and the noise was annoying, and must have been worse for those on the floors below us. In general that stay was a lot noisier as most of the college athletes were in our tower and coming and going at night, meaning lots of ‘merriment’ in the parking lot.
Based on stay #1 I would have given this a 5 star, but they lost a star by parking a succession of running buses under guest rooms instead of further away in the very spacious parking lot where they would have been far less annoying.
