Stayed here recently and overall, I was pretty happy with my experience. The inside of the hotel is much nicer than it looks from outside! My room was super clean and neat, with beautiful hardwood floors throughout (big plus in my book). You can tell they really take care of the place on the inside. One thing to watch out for: the hotel allows pets, which is awesome and makes sense with the easy-to-clean floors, but there’s a $75 per night pet fee. This wasn’t mentioned anywhere on Expedia or even on the property’s own page, so it was a surprise when I checked in. Breakfast is included, which is always a nice touch, but the area where it’s served is pretty small for how many guests the hotel has. It felt crowded and it was a bit tricky to find a spot. All in all, a solid stay if you’re looking for a clean and comfortable room (don’t judge the book by its cover!). Just be ready for the pet fee if you’re bringing a furry friend, and expect a cozy breakfast setup!

I was only there for two days. The television didn’t work. All it needed was new batteries in the remote. I told them several times they did not help me. The pillow on the bed had stuffing coming out of it. I couldn’t watch TV, even though I wasn’t in the room that much. It would’ve been nice to be able to put on the television at night. I tried to get coffee in the lobby, but they didn’t have cups

This was my go to hotel for my family bi-monthly trip to WDW. The first visit was great, well good for the few hours we were there to sleep. Nice breakfast, but the coffee could be better. The staff (especially Harry) was always nice, and goes above and beyond to help in any way. Though at the time (I didnt put 2 and 2 together until now) I ended up with roaches in my car. Our second visit was just as good, but 15 minutes before checking out there was a roach that came from the 2nd bed that we didnt use. The 3rd and last trip, we didnt even get to stay. After driving for 3 hours, a long day at the park we were ready to go to bed at around 1230am. We open the door and the light switch didnt work. I set our stuff down on the bed and walked to the bathroom area to turn on the lights and my daughter yells, "Mom theres a roach", at the same time I see a very small one run across the bathroom floor. We quickly grabbed out stuff and went striaght to the front deck. 10-15 mins later, they were able to give us the last room they had... 4 doors down, and before we could even open the door there were roaches outside the door. My 3yo had to use the restroom, so I took her in, and theres roaches everywhere, including a dead one floating in the toilet. We left right after. They were able to get us a room at a neighbor hotel down the street. Unfortunately, we will not be returning to the hotel. Not until i know for a fact that they dont have anymore roaches.

The breakfast was poorly stocked. The eating is small and the food line can get backed up with people waiting for their waffles to cook. The air conditioner was very loud all night. The rooms were good and the staff was friendly. Good for short stays since it’s close to most of the big Orlando attractions.

This property was not what I expected when I booked it. The name first and foremost is misleading. It’s not the “Howard Johnson” it’s called the Developer in and it was a hole in the wall. My door would barely close and had a gap at the bottom that if anyone really wanted to, they could look under, the tv did not work, the water never got above like warm, the room was not clean (pubic hairs on the toilet, hair in the bottom of the tub, floor hadn’t been swept in several days and there was so much dirt and dust on the baseboards I could have stuffed a pillow. Doors face outside so you are going from your door to the parking lot which is not very well lit and the main entry point from the freeway is around the back of the building making is super confusing. The staff was nice and the bed was semi comfortable but this stay had me cringing and was completely misleading bs what was listed and pictured.

Wonderful breakfast buffet, clean, quiet and comfortable 👌. The only drawback was that there wasn't any shower chair for the handicap/disabled rooms. Other than that Wonderful time spent. Will probably return soon.
