“Excellent place to stay”

Homewood Suites Orlando/International Drive/Convention Center

Jul 21, 2008
4/4 found this review helpful

I can't speak highly enough of this place - it was great.

Here are just some of the things we liked about it

Great room layout with separate living room and bedroom so I could sleep while hubby spent his jetlag on the pc!

Free wifi

Free breakfasts - lots of hot and cold choices

Free light evening meals Mon-Thurs (with drinks including wine or beer) - if you were a family on a budget this would have been enough to see you through - a different spceial every night eg meatballs, spag bol, baked potatoes etc

The staff were all so friendly - and it's great that the manager or his assistant is there every breakfast time so you can mention things in passing

When we did mention something it was sorted the same day

Lots of choices of places to eat out nearby

The pool was never crowded

The dining room was busy but we could always get a table

Great comfortable bed

Efficient air conditioning

In fact the only negative at all was the practice of putting the dishwasher on every day, no matter how small the load. Apparently Florida state law says they can't wash dishes by hand. After the first day when we discovered a single glass in the dishwasher (that had only been used for drinking water!!!) we asked our maid not to wash any dishes at all until we left! What a horrendous waste of energy! Why don't they do what Travelodge in the UK do and just swap in clean glasses and mugs and do all the dirties in one or two dishwashers?

Still, this one criticism isn't enough to outweigh all the good points - we'd definitely be back like a shot if we ever had to go to Orlando again.

I have nothing but praise for this Hotel, the Manager and his staff are a credit to the Company.Nothing was to much trouble and all my needs were attended to immediately, my family and I had a wonderful stay and would definely consider coming here again.
The free breakfast and dinner from mon-thurs was very good, but you need to be very early to get a table.

3/3 found this review helpful

I have to agree with the good reviews. We just returned from a 6 night stay and we had a positive experience. As someone said, the master bed was comfortable and the sofa bed is just that, a sofa bed. The full size fridge was great, because we kept plenty of beverages and snacks on hand. Everyday we came back to the room, it had been cleaned with fresh linens and towels, even the dishes had been ran through the dishwasher. We heard kids running in the hall and babies crying a couple of times, which is to be expected because the hotel was filled with families, but nothing that kept us awake. The location was great, we didn't have a car, so we used the free shuttle to Universal and a quick 3 min walk to International drive gave us access to multiple restaurants and the I-trolley, which we used twice to go to the outlet malls. The staff was friendly and helpful. The breakfast was okay, better than usual, but nothing to write home about. Waffels, sausage, potatoes, cereal, breads and coffee. Just something quick before hitting the attractions. One piece of advice, go to breakfast early because the dining room fills up fast. I would definitely stay again.

“Great value for amount spent”

Homewood Suites Orlando/International Drive/Convention Center

Jul 9, 2008
4/4 found this review helpful

I booked this hotel through Hotwire and had a great $48.00 a night rate for our stay. We found the rooms to be comfortable (we were in a two room suite). The suite had an extremely comfortable king sized bed with numerous pillows and a sleeper sofa that had the typical feel of a sleeper sofa (not quite a bed, but adequate). The room had a full size fridge, cooking range, microwave which is a definite plus if you are staying for several days or have a family traveling with you. The room also featured two televisions and one bathroom. The room was clean and quiet and we did not hear anyone in the other rooms. On the downside, the one bathroom in the room was in the master suite so anyone sleeping on the sleeper sofa would have to walk through the master suites to access the bathroom. If the hotel ever did a remodel, they should consider adding another door to access it.
The hotel did have a hotel and jacuzzi in the courtyard which was great for swimming, but if you intend to get a great deal of sun, think twice. The design of the building obstructs the sun reaching parts of the courtyard. An evening reciption with wine, beer and sodas is available as well as a great hot breakfast buffet with self made waffles, bagels, toast, eggs, meat, cereal, yoghurt, fruit, sweet rolls etc. There was plenty to appeal to even the pickiest child eater.
We found the hotel staff to be professional, but not overly friendly. Any issue or question brought to their attention was rapidly solved.

2/3 found this review helpful

After reading reviews about Homewood Suites, we made our reservations to stay for the weekend. Our stay was like many others here. The front desk was very cordial and check in was prompt without any problems. The suite consists of a kitchen, living room and bedroom. In the living room was a sleeper couch that accommodated the kids. They had complementary breakfast but we we got up late both mornings and missed it. (available until 10am). Room was clean and the AC wasn't loud (important since it will be running while you sleep). The one downside is we did a little cooking and the teflon pan with pretty scratched up. They didn't have a spatula, so I think people used a forks. (I'm not lowering my rating since I didnt ask the front desk for a replacement.)
