Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
I like the fact the property was located on international drive, walking distance of restaurants, convenient stores and Them Parks. Front desk staff was customer service friendly. My room when I entered was very musty as wet mildew smell. I had to purchase Fabreeze, lysol and plug in freshner, for a nice inviting smell of comfort. The beds seem as the sheets and pillow cases were never changed (wrinkled) with an unpleasant odor (dirty). Good news is I had my own sheets, pillows and blanket. What i have learned about my stay.

Excellent location, but... the refrigerator in the room was leaking and made a puddle of water on the floor, the bathroom sink still had residue from the last guest's beard, the bathroom curtain was torn. I went to reception to ask for a cloth to dry the puddle of water and they told me they didn't have any.

TERRIBLE, AVOID
There were *3* cockroaches in my room. 😳☹️😠 There were crumbs on the coach/sofa and wrappers on the floor and behind the bed (that I pulled out to check for more bugs). The hotel charged me the $100 deposit THREE times including TWICE AFTER I flew back to the UK 🇬🇧 I reported this to Hotels.com who said they are unable to help me get this refunded?! ☹️😠 The hotel never answer the phone. My friend in Orlando has been phoning them regularly for 4 days to try to get their email address to sort out the UNAUTHORISED credit card charges. They do not do any kind of cleaning/bin emptying/ new towels/ change sheets during your stay due to COVID, erm it's 2024. $9 per night "resort fee" to cover amenities you don't use such as the pool.

This place has to be one of the worst places I have ever stayed at. The place was dirty. I found at least 5 different long black hairs on my bed sheets. ( I have blond hair) There was a spot of blood on my sheets. The bathrooms where so gross. It smelled like someone was smoking pot non stop when we walked down the hall to get to our room. It was just a horrible experience all together. we will not be staying at this hotel ever again.
