Hotels near Orlando Herndon Airport, Orlando

I spent two nights at the DoubleTree in Downtown Orlando as a result of being mandatorily evacuated due to Hurricane Ian. Most of the other people staying in the hotel were in a similar situation. I felt that the hotel did a good job of dealing with the huge surge of stressed out people. The DoubleTree wasn't our first choice, but when we decided to evacuate to Orlando, many other gulf coast Floridians were making similar choices, and we got turfed to this DoubleTree with a different Hilton property. The location is pretty good. It's close to downtown, close to the Lake Ivanhoe area, and close to I4. There were a bunch of restaurants within walking distance. The parking isn't exactly connected to the hotel, which wouldn't be a problem in non-hurricane situations. There was no valet when we arrived. There were staff available to help with bags, etc., although the person was helping the car in front of me, so I unloaded everything myself (which was fine). My parents were able to check in early for both rooms, and from what I observed in the lobby, they had enough staff that no one was waiting for too long for check in. They were definitely well stocked with bottled water and cookies for everyone checking in. We had two connecting rooms so that my parents could help with the kids and we could pool resources. The rooms have refrigerators which are pretty spacious. The rooms were a bit dated, but the beds were reasonably comfortable (although the pillows could have been more supportive), there was a practical set up of seating, and everything looked clean. Because the hotel was booked to full and because the Hurricane was going to go through Orlando as a tropical storm, there was no standard housekeeping available, but you could request new sheets/towels/amenities to be delivered to your room. I spoke with a bartender, and the Hilton had several employees who stayed in the hotel for the duration of the storm warning and storm to make sure that things were running for guests. I very much appreciated that they kept the kitchen (albeit with a very limited menu) and bar (full bar still available) running and that maintenance was available the whole time. While I didn't love the limited menu at the restaurant, at least we had the option of hot food! The hotel is on the same power grid at the local hospital, so we never lost power. The cable flickered a bit once the winds became strong. The window in my parents' room did spring a leak during the storm, but thankfully the amount of water that came in was manageable with a couple towels. The downstairs cafe and lobby became very waterlogged during the storm. But from a safety perspective, we all came through the storm. And when we elected to check out after two nights instead of the three we booked, the hotel graciously didn't charge us for the final night.

Friends night out, drinks, and hotel to enjoy. Nice king size bed....No drama.... Clean.....very close to I 4 for my trip back home. I know they have breakfast, but we went to IHop nearby.... Ohhh Couch was very comfortable...lol

Excellent Location, Neat n clean place, room was spacious, front facing, pantry was very well equipped with gazettes, temperature controlled pool, good gym, washing machine and dryer available at a very nominal charge. Breakfast spread was nice. Reception staff was polite,pleasant and efficient. Overall a wonderful experience staying therre

I’ve stayed here a couple of times. Rooms are great, very comfortable. They open to an inside balcony overlooking the restaurant and lobby areas and surprisingly, the noise was well controlled! Spacious, very clean, excellent staff. Food is good in the restaurant and room service. Very convenient to just relax at the hotel with a nice pool area, Starbucks inside, and market that was always open for snacks or quick meal. Great location to MCO and only about 20 minutes to Sanford. They also let you check in early if they have availability which was great for me as I’d had some early flights coming into the area.

Being in the hospitality business there is nothing more that I love then having great customer service. It reminds me how important it is to make people feel welcomed and attended to. From the guest service to the amazing food !! Leo took great care of us at check in and Venessa at the restaurant wrapped it up for us!!! Her food was amazing and she took the time to make sure our service was good.

My wife and I are regular travellers to Florida. We decided this time to get a hotel close to the airport to avoid an early morning commute as we normally do from Davenport. We looked up places online and reviews. We settled on Wingate and they did not disappoint. We checked in early (to drop off our bags). Staff were helpful. Hotel seemed a little older but clean (all that matters to us). Room was large, ton of amenities, couch, great view. The price was amazing. We are not high maintenance and do not need the extras. Just clean and friendly. This place was perfect. Will definitely return and recommend.

We were in Orlando for the birth of our first grandchild. Had arrived in middle of the night at the hospital and decided to get a room within walking distance of Winnie Palmer Hospital. Marlena (?) at the front desk was warm and friendly and gave us a beautiful suite along with a Coke and a water as we were in the Hilton club. The attendant at breakfast (from Brazil) was sweet, friendly and attentive. Loved our pillows too! Our stay was absolutely delightful!

My first impression of this property was very favorable. This is obviously an older Marriott property that has undergone a really nice refurbishment. Everything is updated from the lobby to the rooms to the M Club. I am a Bonvoy Platinum elite. I checked in on the mobile app and was pleasantly surprised that I was checked in promptly, however none of my room requests were met. High floor away from elevator are my preferences. High floor isn't a big deal but I was placed in a room directly adjacent to the elevator with no platinum upgrade. The room was very nice and updated and I was really happy with how well they had updated the rooms. My main gripe with this property was the poorly managed M Club with embarrassing food options. The breakfast was adequate and in line with most other M Clubs, however the evening hors d'oeuvres were embarrassing. On the Saturday evening of my stay the evening hors d'oeuvres were put out an hour late and when they finally were put out, the offering was frozen chicken strips (think kids meal at a restaurant) that were cold and the worst hard waffles that were obviously left over from breakfast (they serve the same waffles at breakfast). They were hard and cold. The person who set up the hors d'oeuvres didn't put out ANY serving utensils for any of the offerings. They also had very small platters of cheese, crackers and meats. There were so few crackers put out that they were gone in a minute. The person who set up the food went back to the front desk and never returned. The one other embarrassing miss for Marriot and their M Clubs is that they require guests to pay for drinks in the M Club. What a blow to their most loyal guests. Other competing brands offer complimentary evening happy hours. Overall this is a decent property, but they really need to step up their evening hors d'oeuvres game.

Hanging out in the Downtown area this weekend? The Residence Inn is where to stay so you can enjoy the gastronomy of Downtown Orlando in a peaceful and well-managed hotel. The Residence Inn is just minutes from everything in Orlando Downtown area. The front desk greets you very nicely when you arrive and all their personnel do the same during your stay. The parking garage is spacious and has access to the hotel on each of its three floors. Its location is just perfect. I really loved the size of the rooms, the kitchen, their spacious wellness center, and the enclosed always-warm pool. If you want to enjoy a play at the Dr. Phillips Performing Art, a game at the Amway Center, or just enjoy one of the more than 100 restaurants and bars in the area, this is your place to stay.

The welcome was very warm and pleasant. My room was amazingly comfortable. Very clean and great location. I was there visiting my big sister and going to a conference. Will definitely be back great job to the entire team. Great job to the GM your training shows throughout your property
