Holiday Inn Resort Orlando - Lake Buena Vista, an IHG Hotel

We enjoyed our stay at the hotel. I checked in before time and the check in experience was very smooth. The room was equipped with a refridgerator and microwave, which came in handy as I was travelling with my kid. The beds were comfortable, lighting was enough, airconditioning was helpful in the Florida heat. My son enjoyed the arcade games and the movie at the kids movie theater. Having a restauarant on site, which is open till late was also helpful, as the children are really tired after spending the whole day at theme parks and don't want to go out for dinner. They also have a small shop in the hotel which stocks food, toiletries, medicines and other things that you will need. We didn't get time to enjoy the pool, but could see other families having fun, as our room was facing the pool. We did enjoy games of checkers and chess next to pool. My son had fun moving the toddler size chess pieces.

The pool area was great!! The hot tubs need some pump maintenance, but they were still hot and pleasant. My son had a blast in the water sprinkler area and loved how it cycled in different variations. The location was great to SeaWorld, but we’ll definitely stay there again going to other parks as it is well located to them all. The king bed and bunk bed family room was great! Very clever! The kids loved they had their own tv to set up their Xbox. The bathroom was perfect. The staff extremely helpful and friendly. The only complaint is that the bunk bed mattresses were kind of hard and the kid blankets were kind of thin. The king bed was luxurious. They will bring their favorite travel blankets next time. But other than that this hotel property is pretty near perfect for family travel.

The property is just what you thought it would be for a hotel. It had great things for the kids to do while adults are relaxing. The internet was fast and reliable. The cleaning staff was virtually silent as they went about their business, and you would never know they were there if it wasn't for the room getting cleaned.

As a single woman traveling with a special needs daughter and 2 cats the location could not have been more ideal. It was first floor with no stairs and not far from parking. The room was spacious and well-maintained. The desk clerk even met me at the closest entrance with a luggage caddy. The facility was an easy drive to Disney and the staff was full of advice for negotiating access.

The staff were amazing the hotel was clean and it was very welcoming of pet's. They have a cute little dog park. The pool was big and clean, had 2 Jacuzzis which you don't think you would need in Florida but I used it at night because I got cold in the pool. They have a bar right by the pool as well which is great for the adults. They had more than enough chairs at the pool. Antoher great thing was my kids got to eat free the entire time at applebees which has a buffet for all types of eaters. I will definitely be going back.
