We were very disappointed with this hotel and would not recommmend it. first we were staying there for a convention, i had twice phoned ( in the month prior) and confirmed that room change to a kingsize bed ( from 2 doubles ) had been noted, no problem they assured me. We arrive, and they have lost that request. we get a room with 2 double beds, no king beds left, sorry., The room could best be describeds as TIRED. Well then we quickly discover the toilet does not flush at all well and runs constantly. I undo one of the beds and find Thrhee airs on the Clean sheets. THAT's IT! I phone the front desk and tell them they will have to move us, and tell them that frankly I expect a LOT better from a hotel of this caliber. They dont seem too concerned but agree to move us.
The next room is marginally better, toliet is fine, dirty coffee mug in room and no luggage rack anywhere to be found. so we phone the desk and rectify that.
The beds are comfy , that is the best that can be said. They charge for all phone calls including $2.18 for each and every 1-800 call. That part paying $2.18 for 1-800 calls was pretty darn cheeky.
We ate in the champions sports grill, it was ok, kind of along the line of a Red Robin. the other restuaruants looked expensive with menus that did not look particularly appealing and were in fact never very busy.
I would definitly NOT stay here again, nor recommend it. Our convention was at the gaylords, for this kind of money I would stay there. , nicer facilities better restuarants.
The Crowne Plaza Universal was also nice. We stayed there the last few days of our holiday for way less money and a room that was more modern, fresher and nicer.. Either of these would be better choices than the Marriott Orlando World center resort

Stayed there Jan 18-21 for a conference. The hotel is very beautiful and geared towards it's main audience of families going to Disney. The Marriott website did not mention that the internet connection was $13/day and it lacked package rates.

The convention center facilities were good and the free airline boarding pass printing was quite convenient.

I tried 2 of the 4 restaurants because well most were priced out of my company's expense budget. The Solaris Room's buffet for breakfast is quite good and better than the dinner. The Ristorante Tuscany was adequate for basic Italian food.

We stayed at this hotel for 3 nights the week before Christmas 2006. This Marriott is a very large hotel. The facilities, restaurants and concierge are great and genuinely we had no complaints. You do pay for what you get and this is not a cheap hotel.

The rooms are spacious with good facilities. The breakfast buffet is the best we have experienced ever with a huge choice including Krispy Kreme donuts. The in-house Starbucks is recommended too although they could stay open longer.

We used the hotel as a base only to visit various amusements around the area and would certainly recommend this hotel. There is some building work going on so ask for a room away from this. Parking is on-site but a long way away. We opted for the valet parking which if you are in and out is worth going for. The concierge organised tickets to the amusements for us and recommended some OK restaurants.

Would definitely stay here again if we come back to Orlando.

This is the largest Marriott in the world and you'll definitely feel like you are staying in a world unto itself. My husband had a conference here so that's why we chose it, but would recommend it for anyone visiting Orlando. The hotel is very impressive upon arrival. It's a great location with easy access to Disney, I-4, shopping etc. The rooms are spacious, all with balconies and large baths. We found the service to be friendly and attentive. In fact, with over 2000 rooms I was pleasantly surprised by their attention to detail and the feeling that I was a valued guest there. The pools and grounds are gorgeous, and there are plenty of restaurants to choose from (Hawk's Landing and Solaris were both very good). Take a ride in the glass elevator and you'll feel like you're in a theme park ride! I had read that the parking was not convenient, but we found a lot that was right outside our room in the west wing and was no problem at all. Highly recommend!
