I have to be honest, I don't know if Delaney's Hotel is considered a hidden gem, but hidden?…read moreAbsolutely. If you don't follow your GPS like it's the voice of God, you'll drive past this place at least 10 times wondering if you're being pranked. Once you finally find it, though, you're in for a surprise. The hotel is attached to a magnificent steakhouse and gives off this classy vineyard-patio vibe that makes you feel like you're about to attend a wine tasting, even if you're just there for work like I was. Walking up, there are beautiful outdoor tables with glass tops where guests can relax, eat, and pretend they're important. Then you walk into the lobby and BAM dark wood floors, elegant furniture, comfortable sofas, and enough atmosphere to make you wonder, Wait what did I accidentally book? I was honestly concerned I'd somehow clicked the wrong hotel and was about to max out my credit card. Nope. Surprisingly affordable. The room? Fantastic. You've got a Keurig machine ready to fuel your caffeine addiction, a nice big TV, all the amenities you need, and then there's THE BED. Listen, I don't know if it's a pillow-top, a cloud-top, a Sleep Number, a NASA mattress, or if angels personally fluff it every afternoon, but that thing is dangerous. I laid down for what felt like five minutes and woke up the next morning. I slept harder than a newborn after a bottle. Now let's talk about room service. They have this little stand where you order directly from the steakhouse downstairs. I ordered dinner, expecting hotel prices that require a small bank loan. The bill was $35. I nearly called the front desk to report a pricing error. Meanwhile, I was hungrier than a hostage, and they delivered a meal fit for royalty. For a brief moment, I genuinely felt like a VIP. The hotel also has a nice bar for those who enjoy a drink. I don't drink, but if I did, I probably would've celebrated finally finding the entrance. Bottom line: great atmosphere, beautiful property, comfortable rooms, amazing food, affordable prices, and a mattress that may have supernatural powers. Would I stay here again? Absolutely. Would I still need GPS to find it? Also absolutely.

We love the set up of the villa especially with it being for 4 adults - Me, my hubby, my mom, and dad! We didn't have to be stuck in one hotel room. We had perfect space where we didn't have to be on top of each other. We had a downstairs open living room, dining area, small kitchen, and a bathroom with shower downstairs. The couch even has a bed in it if one needs it. Upstairs is two bedrooms and an adjoining bathroom with bath tub. One bedroom had two double beds and one bedroom has a king sized bed. The beds were very comfy, the sheets and comforter were cozy. Only thing was the pillows were very small. We had a view of the creek which was nice and nature-y! The pool was nice along with two small hot tubs which were not hot. They have a park and big grassy area for our dog to play. We were not able to walk the boardwalk and gazebo which looked really nice. At the end, customer service was weird because the person I called to extend my check out an hour didn't know we existed. He said it was because Booking.com and their system did not communicate. Also, I asked for two towels and they brought us two rolls of toilet paper. I was like What?! At least our receipt matched our quote from Booking.com. All in all, we loved our clean roomy villa and would recommend staying here.

I recently went here for a stay-cation and it does live up to its reputation…read more Its all in the details! From higher end bedding, to sparkling clean and well maintained everything, to the fresh lobby flowers, it all says high end and was much appreciated. Check in took a few minutes of waiting around noon and we were accommodated to an early check in. There was no availability for a room upgrade but the standard one was beautiful regardless. The bed was very comfortable, the bathroom was beautiful and very clean with a separate shower and tub. The toiletries were a nice touch since my husband forgot to bring his toothbrush. The soaps, shampoo, body wash and conditioner all seemed like a higher quality with muted, natural scents. The grounds a very pretty, they shared amenities with the JW next door which created a fun day going from their lazy river then back to the Ritz pool for some R&R. The Ritz pool area has complimentary water, fruit, sunscreen, towels floating mats. The pool server was attentive as well. The lobby bar is large with friendly wait staff. I had probably the best charcuterie board I've ever had, featuring really decent gluten free toast in lieu of regular crackers, fresh honey comb, and high quality meats and cheeses. Fruit and electrolyte water was waiting in my room after a long day at the pool, which was a pleasant surprise. The breakfast buffet was inside Highball&Harvest, which was packed full of options, including gf muffins, toast, and waffles which were made in their kitchen area away from the buffet. There are a lot of amenities that I walked by but didn't utilize, like mountain bikes for their wood path, canoes, pool tables, ping pong, foosball, giant chess, soccer goals and a bunch of kids activities. Overall, I had an excellent stay at the Ritz Carlton and would love to return soon!

Every detail reflected excellence and genuine hospitality. The signature chocolate cake was extraordinary, and the catfish was simply outstanding.

I made it a point to personally compliment the chef for delivering such an exceptional culinary experience.

All of my friends liked all of their drinks, which we had multiple and shared! Parking was super easy and free. No need to worry about a gate or anything like that. Service was fine! We hung out in the sculpture garden as the bar area was a little loud for the conversations we were having.

When looking for a hotel in Orlando, I specifically wanted to stay away from the theme park area…read more In my experience, many hotels near theme parks have nice lobbies, but once you get to the rooms, they're often worn down from the constant stream of guests and heavy foot traffic. There are always tons of families and kids coming through, and it shows. I personally don't care how nice the lobby looks because you're paying to be in the room. This hotel ended up being a good alternative. It's about 30 minutes from most of the theme parks and the convention center, but I didn't mind the drive. The area is much quieter, and the views are actually really nice. There's a lake, lots of greenery, and even cows nearby, which was a nice change from the typical Orlando tourist scene. Pros * Beautiful property with nice views and a much more relaxing atmosphere than the theme park area. * Modern, clean, and well-maintained. * Several great restaurants on-site, including Michelin-recognized options. * Easy check-in process. * The room was clean and updated. I didn't have any cleanliness issues during my stay, which is more than I can say for a lot of hotels these days. * Free parking. * Comfortable bed. * The AC worked really well. The room stayed cold the entire time, which was a huge plus in Florida. * Electronic blackout blinds and window film do a great job blocking out sunlight. * In-room iPad makes it easy to communicate with guest services. * Although I'm usually not a fan of carpet in hotel rooms, this carpet appeared clean and was in good condition. Cons * The airport is nearby, so planes fly overhead pretty frequently. It didn't bother me much because I sleep with earplugs, but if you're sensitive to noise or are a light sleeper, it's definitely something to consider. You'll notice the planes throughout the day and into the evening. * The location is a little removed from everything. That's part of what makes it peaceful, but it also means you'll be driving if you want to go anywhere. * The pillows could have been firmer. * One of the charging stations in the room didn't work, and my phone didn't charge overnight. Thankfully, I had a backup charger. * The motion-sensor lights sounded great in theory but were annoying at night. Every time I got up to use the restroom, lights would turn on automatically. As a light sleeper, I found it difficult to fall back asleep afterward. * My biggest complaint was the electronic toilet. At first, I thought it was a cool feature, but throughout the night it would randomly run cleaning and reset cycles that made noise. If you're a heavy sleeper, you probably won't care. If you're a light sleeper, it can get annoying pretty quickly. Overall, I enjoyed my stay and would choose this hotel again over most of the hotels near the theme parks. It's clean, modern, quieter than staying in the tourist areas, and the property itself is beautiful. Just be aware of the airport noise and some of the overly complicated technology in the rooms.

We used the pool deck every day. There are two pools. One very warm the other not. Hot Tub. There is not much to do in the area. The people I chatted with used this location as a jump point for Orlando Disney world. The people I talked to have been coming back to this place often. There is a store off the property that you can walk to. Think of this as an apartment complex setup for a business model resort. I would probably not come back. But would not tell anyone not to give it a try. People commented on traffic which I agreed was an issue. The staff was helpful. We did not have any maintenance issues. Showers worked well but not high water pressure. At the end of the day it met our expectations for a place to stay. The workout area is not great to small. RCI grades it as a hospitality.

We needed a place for the weekend in Orlando while attending a swimming competition, so we chose this hotel because of location and price. It delivered on those 2 aspects, but the hotel did not really feel like any other Marriott brand I have stayed at. The hotel is clean and service was fine, but the amenities are bare minimum and this property does not even seem to be fully integrated into the Marriott online system yet. Also, no perks for Elite members are offered, which you get in all other Marriott properties. The hotel met our basic needs, but it is not a brand we will book again.
