Pet-friendly Hotels in Florida, United States

The hotel was fine for what we paid. The room was spacious, and although outdated, still pleasant and comfortable. We slept well. The hotel complex itself was very large with multiple buildings containing the rooms, which made it confusing to find our room, especially since one of the two the elevators for our building- (the elevator closest to our 5th story room) was out of order, so we had to re-park our car when we finally found our building and the working elevator. But overall it was fine and the location was good, with everything we needed close by.

This is one of our favourite hotels anywhere. We took our entire three generation family there from the UK a couple of years ago and this year we effectively added a two day stay onto a two week villa rental vacation just so that we could revisit the hotel and play the golf course. We did have a few complaints about two things. We visited the Italian restaurant’ Cala Bella’ and whilst we enjoyed most of our starters we didn’t really enjoy our main courses with the food feeling pre prepared and warmed up rather than fresh. We sent some back and there was no quibble about taking these off the bill but it was a disappointing dining experience. For that money in a top class hotel everything should be freshly prepared  We felt that some of the charges were excessive, a 20% service charge on a $30 self serve breakfast buffet is scandalous . Similarly $32/day for self parking felt excessive.  This was our third visit to this hotel- will there be a fourth ?

The hotel's exterior is nice, but the interior is a bit dated and has a musty smell. They change towels and empty the trash daily, and a full room cleaning is done every three days. There's a shuttle service to Disneyland and Universal Studios, though the return shuttle schedule is a bit early. There's an outlet mall across from the hotel, but you need to call a taxi to get there, which isn't very convenient.

I could tell the hotel had been really nice once. It had just weathered a storm a lot of the rooms were not working. My room did not have electricity by the bed nor did the phone work. other than that, trip.com got the wrong dates on my reservation. They book me for Saturday and Sunday leaving Monday, but my conference, the only reason for my trip, started Monday. Essentially they had me checking out on the day the conference was to begin. I told them immediately but they did nothing about it. trip.com not worth the effort. The Shores resort and spa Daytona Beach will be back and certainly worth the stay if you can get over the front desk staff…. except for the one with the purple ish colored hair. she’s a keeper.

The room has typical American-style decor. It's close to the road and conveniently located near a large McDonald's and a supermarket. There's a bus stop right outside the hotel, making it easy to get to the airport. It's also quite convenient for visiting the night market in the evening. They don't provide slippers and there's a charge for luggage storage. For a one-night stay, the value for money is decent.

The room was spacious and the beds were very comfortable. However, the air conditioning was a bit noisy. Slippers are not provided, so remember to bring your own. There's a coffee shop and a pizza place on the ground floor, which is very convenient for dining and drinks. Orlando summers are hot and sunny, and I felt walking to Universal Studios was a bit far. I'd recommend taking a taxi.

My wife and I, my 60-year-old mother, and my 20-year-old sister stayed in the Cars Suite, a total of four of us. There were two bedrooms and two bathrooms, so we were able to maintain a certain amount of privacy for each other and had a comfortable stay. There was also a microwave, sink, small refrigerator, and coffee maker, so we were able to have breakfast in our room during our stay. The shuttle bus to Disney World was convenient, and there were plenty of shops and food courts, making it the perfect place for a Disney vacation.

Initially, I randomly selected a hotel for my trip. I discovered that the hotel is close to the venue of the event I planned to attend, which makes me feel relieved. The room is spacious and clean. The food is just average and not particularly impressive. The amenities and services are excellent. One suggestion I have is that it would be great if the hotel provided slippers.

It's a nice quiet location that is not terribly far away from the major parks. The room itself was, although slightly dated, very comfortable but the bathroom cleanliness could be a bit better. I didn't use the facilities there but the pool looked refreshing. The staff were extremely pleasant and gave the hotel a general warm-welcoming atmosphere.

Hotel itself was fine. Was a bit annoyed that the bar was not open even for a soft drink if wanted till much later. When I went down to get a bite to eat I was informed that most of the menu was not available and my selection was limited to about three items to choose from. What I found most annoying was that apparently they had some type of youth group training going on on my floor which was right next to my room. Numerous times I heard the participants laughing or conversing loudly in the hall way. Whenever I decided to leave my room to go downstairs I had to run through a gantlet of participants who were having their break out session in the hallway of which I had to walk through disrupting their conversations. While they were polite about it, it did make me feel uncomfortable to leave the room while they were doing this. When I did mention to the desk what was going on they told me about the group which was fine but I wish they would have put me on another floor if this was going on. Overall it was just an overnight stay here before a cruise but honestly next time I would choose a different hotel.
