I stayed at this HI for 2 nights in mid-May 2008.

The employees were friendly, the check-in was swift, the lobby & decor is nice. It wasn't hard to find, very accessible. I was greeted as Priority Club, but unlike a previous review, I didn't receive any sort of welcome basket? I have never before.

The room was large but the bathroom definitely needs more lights and our bathroom door did not fit the hinges, which was really odd. I reported it on our way out and the front next looked shocked, so I assume they did not know about it.

We went to Universal the next day and it was not a chore to get there. There are restaraunts aplenty within walking distance (Olive Garden was our choice right up the street).

I did not try the breakfast, though it looked very good. I also did not try the pool, but I never heard anything from inside my room, so all good there. The room overall was quiet, the area seemed quiet. There is a convenience store across the street to grab a water & snacks.

Do beware of the timeshare pitch in the lobby, but the coupon bag was nice.

We paid $100/night total and you just can't beat that. Overall, it was a good 2 nights for a reasonable price in a safe area.

Stayed at this hotel 1 night (I wish I had booked it for longer)
Excellent value, great stay
Great location, Just 2 lights away from hotel row and 5 minutes drive from Downtown Disney.
Looks new.
Nice clean room. Microwave, refregirator, Free internet in the lobby. Very nice pool with a water slide. Kids love it.
Free breakfast. Eggs, susage, bagels, cereals, juices, coffee. Very nice.
Friendly personal.

One negative: if your windows are looking towards main entrance, they also face clubs right across. You can hear loud music late at night, But if you spend all day at the Disney parks, you'll probably out quickly, and not hear anything.

This holiday inn was awesome! It was no waiting to check in, nice staff and a a goodie basket in my room since I am a rewards member!! I had a friend at the safari sheraton down the street and he hung out at our hotel more than his!! The rooms were spacious, clean, & updated. The pool area is beautiful. Complete with a waterfall and waterslide. The activity desk in the hotel was a big plus and Marion was awesome!! I will definitely be returning here!

We made the reservations on priceline which I guess was the first mistake. When we checked in we were given a room that was already occupied. They gave us a new room and there was only one bed. The reservations were for 4 people. We had to pay an additional $10 per day for a room with another bed. When I talked to the desk clerk she said that a manager would contact me. They never did. We requested the room be cleaned during our stay and it never was. When we checked out I was told that we would have the $10 per day fee refunded. It never was and when I called when we got home about it my messages were never returned. I have stayed a Holiday Inn Express before at different locations and have found the service to be wonderful. This one was not the case however. It was the worst service I have ever had. I will never stay at this hotel again and have told everyone I know about what happened. We have young children and I am sure we will be visiting the area many times in the future.
