As others have said, it's a solid stay for the money. The rooms are, indeed, very large. Being able to book a large separate 1-bedroom suite with full kitchen, two TVs, balcony, etc for under 150 bucks around Orlando is tough...to impossible.... to do. So though I might have a couple small gripes, it's a solid deal.
Location is decent. Right at the 192 & I4 interchange. No you cannot hear any traffic from the room. It sits back aways from the road and the building is well built. Parking is free and I didn't have any problems with space.
The lobby and building itself is well appointed. It's no 5-star Shangri La, but very elegant and modern. The complex is basically a circle with a doughnut-shaped pool in the center. The pool is large and clean. Very well executed.
Interior room entrances. Every unit is a suite. Some 1-bedroom. Some 2-bedroom. Room was very clean and new. The kitchen is kitchenette style/shape, but has full size fridge/freezer, dishwasher, stove, full-sized sink, dishes, silverware, coffee maker, pots/pans, knives, etc. The living area is well appointed with a nice large new leather couch and matching chair. The bedroom is large and the bed itself is nice. Certainly better than you'll find in a Howard Johnson or something like that. Two huge floor to ceiling windows in both rooms. The view is obviously nothing special though (as you can tell from the location). All my closets were locked for some reason. I'm sure at least one was the A/C unit because it was kind of loud switching on and off during the night (in the other room, wasn't that bad really). But it's still odd that all 3-4 closets were locked leaving nothing for the guest. There was no hot tub/whirlpool in the room as was stated on PL.com where I booked (kinda errked about that). The bathroom is huge. Like 5 paces to walk from the toilet to the sink to wash my hands. lol The shower design is odd though. Mine was a regular shower (no tub), but with no lip to separate the shower from the rest of the bathroom. The shower floor wasn't even really slanted to help water drain. Needless to say after the better half and I showered, there was a HUGE amount of water on the bathroom floor. Over a gallon of standing water outside the shower. Lots of towels, so I didn't really mind so much. Just odd I guess. I'm thinking maybe we were given a handicapped room? Or maybe it was at one point?
Free breakfast in the morning until 10:30am. Various pastries, cereals, breads, juice and coffee. I will note however that the little flier they give you when you check in says that there is a larger free breakfast located upstairs from the lobby with waffles and pancakes. This is completely false. Upstairs is a sit down waiter-style restaurant. We asked and were told the free stuff is only downstairs.
Not much else I can say. I was being a little picky in my above review, but all in all it's well worth the money spent. I could have thrown a party in that size of room. Reasonably priced too. Please be aware of the $15/day resort fee and the heavy tax percentage (~15%). read more
