Descend21 is conveniently located in the Hyatt Regency Orlando right next to the huge swimming pool. I got there for an early lunch and it was fairly empty. The prices are not astronomical, and I enjoyed the wings and the fried chicken sandwich. The wings were good but not amazing. They are big wings though so that was nice. They came with some fancy veggies like non-orange carrots (that's how I defined fancy carrots to my son: if it's fancy, it's not orange.) Now the fried chicken sandwich - wow. I would go back just for that. It was huge, juicy, perfectly seasoned, and thoroughly satisfying. They came with fancy fries seasoned with something like rosemary (not sure). All I know is that handheld entree was legit. Ambiance is elevated for sure. The seating for me was almost like sitting on a couch-like chair with fancy cloth pillows. Honestly I don't know how they keep those pillows clean over time at a restaurant that serves wings and fried chicken sandwiches. Check out Descend21 for a conveniently located restaurant that won't break the bank!

The service is efficient, the food and drink specials for Happy Hour from 5-8pm are excellent and you can easily walk to your event. The Lounge is relaxed and not crowded as other locations in this area, especially before a performance or a Magic game. (Both were going on the night we stopped in.) Last year, Yelp held its annual award event here. I ended up meeting a couple that was in the lounge area that were going to Dr. Phillips later that night. We struck up a conversation-they asked what this big Yelp group was about, and I provided the details. They said they always come to the WXYZ Lounge before a performance arts event as this place is not crowded and the food is quite good. I remembered this conversation when a friend and I attended a recent event at Dr. Phillips. As luck would have it, Woody and Kim were in the Lounge when we walked in Friday night! I introduced them to my guest and thanked them for their recommendation. We then went to sit at the bar. First off, LeBeth was our main bartender, and she was excellent. We remembered each other from the Yelp event. We ordered two of the featured cocktails, Waterloo Rose Pedals (gin) and Svedka String Winder (vodka). My friend asked if the vodka drink was sweet and LaBeth stated she could add more lemon to her cocktail to counterbalance the sweetness. Both drinks were excellent, and although I liked my gin drink, I switched to the vodka drink for my second one after I had a taste of my friend's drink. A shout-out also to the "bartender in training", Jeffrey, who assisted us. The food was also amazing. We first ordered from the Small Bites menu. The Buffalo Cauliflower floret bites were lightly breaded and soft, with Bleu Cheese crumbles, and the buffalo dressing was provided on the side. Very tasty! The Veggie Eggrolls with the sweet Red Chili sauce was also a big hit. We then added a Chicken Caesar salad and the Fish Tacos from the Big Bites menu to also share. The salad was a good size, served in a large round, flat bowl, with the Caesar dressing on the side. The Fish Tacos were very FULL tacos, and the combination of the spicy sauce and the sweet and tangy coleslaw complimented each other well. We both agreed these were some of the best fish tacos we have tasted! Overall, a great place to stop in for Happy Hour and it is THE PERFECT stop before an event at the Dr. Phillips Performance Center.

There is paint just slopped on to every surface and drops all over where it should not be. You can tell they hired the cheapest and laziest connectors to "redo" these rooms. Shower was falling apart, paint on the shower floor, the carpet, tile etc. They literally put no care and minimal effort into these rooms. It just didn't sit right with me it just gave me an overall icky feeling staying in the room. Like I was staying in a motel off the side of a highway, not a reputable Marriott brand. The hotel is old, elevators are very slow and sketchy. Hallways are dark and carpets are stained everywhere. The thing is, I wouldn't say it was horrific but I wouldn't stay here again, when for $115 (only 10$ more) I can stay at the Courtyard which is a same tier level hotel, which is so much cleaner and well put together, like they actually care.

Also due to the many reviews about dog poop being found under the bed because there's no specific pet policy. They put the pets in any room on any floor. I contacted the manager Mason with a specific request via email since I am a diamond elite member and the guy didn't even have the common courtesy to respond after verifying his email address. I just asked for a room that was pet free and the guy wouldn't even respond and then I did have an asthma attack when I did arrive in the room and then another man Spanish appearing guy 50 years of age got mad at me for having an asthma attack and wanting another room. He finally changed my room after saying he doesn't have a room 10 times and then what happens. I have another asthma attack because it was the same chemical filled type room that was not properly cleaned with pet dander again. I would seriously not recommend this hotel and if anybody values their health, they should not come here. Don't listen to the fake positive reviews

I stood at the hostess podium for a few moments while the hostesses talked amongst themselves at the other end of the restaurant. One made eye contact with me and then continued her conversation. A different hostess came in from out side and came over to help me out. I sat at the bar and started browsing the menu. Shortly after the bartender, Mason came over and asked if he could get me anything. I ordered an Adult Juice Box as I continued to look at their offerings. The restaurant had an open concept with large glass doors that were open to the pool deck, they also had out side tables that you could opt to sit at, with the kitchen opposite of the bar. I started with the Pinchos Shrimp & Barbados Wings. Both were DELICOUS! Mason was extremely attentive and friendly - he continually checked on everyone at the bar & assisted guests at the walk up window that was pool side. Mason ensured that everyone seated at the bar was topped off on their drinks may it be a cocktail or just water, he ensured our glasses were filled. I ordered another Adult Juice Box and the Jerk Chicken & Mango Salad. Everything was so delicious, and the service from Mason was great. Though my first impression when walking in was to be ignored by the staff much like my previous night at another hotel restaurant - Mason turned my experience around. So thanks, Mason you are a gem and they are lucky to have you!

Overall, the food had potential, but between the drink and service, it honestly would've been better to just order to-go.

Hotel I had the…read moreopportunity to recently stay at the Renaissance Orlando at SeaWorld for a corporate event. The place is located directly across the street from Seaworld in Orlando. It is a massive box structure with a fabulously large atrium in the middle. The check-in process was handled quickly and efficiently. This is a Marriott property and the staff were all very friendly and well trained. The elevators face in to the atrium, and it is a scenic view as you had up to your floor. Elevators were quick and there seemed like there was always one waiting on the first floor. Rooms were decently sized and well appointed - very clean and comfortable. Bed was in good shape and got the job done. Hot water was hot and made the shower experience fine. After putting my stuff up, I took a stroll around the place - most of the amenities appear to be in the first floor: bars / restaurants and shops. There is an outdoor pool area and a fitness center somewhere in there as well. To be fair, I did not spend a whole lot of time in the room as I had quite a few activities to attend to. Would I stay here again? I would if the cost of the room was workable. It also depends on where you are planning on going in Orlando. Overall a very good stay and I would recommend staying here if you have the option. Parking is self-park and cost is about $44 / day, or valet park for considerably more at $56/day

We stayed at the Renaissance Orlando Marriott for one night while attending Megacon, and overall,…read moreit was a mixed experience. The hotel is absolutely beautiful, both outside and inside. The lobby and the plants were stunning and really impressed us. We had a hiccup with our room type initially, but the staff upgraded us without issue. The room itself was clean, spacious, and on the 4th floor with a semi-pool view, which was lovely. However, there were some notable issues. The parking system didn't work correctly, and it seemed like this was an ongoing problem. The hot tubs were disappointing, one was closed, and the other had no jets and was the grossest hot tub we've ever seen. That was a major letdown. Checking out was a bit chaotic too, as there were people cutting lines and no one explained that there were multiple checkout lines, so my husband ended up waiting unnecessarily. On the bright side, the hotel restaurant was delicious, and our server there was great. The wine bar, unfortunately, was another story, the service was slow, and we ended up giving up and returning to our room. We enjoyed the upgrade and the overall ambiance of the hotel, so we would recommend it if the price is right, but definitely keep these issues in mind. I chose to give them 4 stars, instead of 3, due to the upgrade, and two free drink vouchers with check-in.
