I got a good deal with this hotel. I was overly impressed with this Holiday Inn. Holiday Inn hasn't been my favorite in recent days but this one was great. The staff was ok, but the rooms were clean and the hotel was just very nice. The tub was small. This hotel is literally right across the street from Universal. More

Each year my husband and I travel to Orlando to visit friends and we stay at this Holiday Inn Express. The hotel is very clean, the staff is accommodating, and the location is very accessible to Orlando attractions. We were fortunate enough to have beautiful weather and were able to enjoy the pool..... basic, but clean and warm. Most people... More

The hotel was clean, with friendly service. Check in and check out was straight forward. The person who checked us in told us that there were long lines for the shuttle service that they offer, and indicated that we should get down early, so we woke up extra early to get the tickets, only to be the only ones in...

We are pleased that you enjoyed your vacation time in Orlando and with the Holiday Inn Express. The shuttle is on a first come first serve basis and yes sometimes there will be a line - glad you didn't have to wait. There are several restaurants within walking distance of the hotel. Wendy's, Miller's Ale House, Kobe Steakhouse, Starbucks, Carrabba's,... More

I had a bit of trouble with check-in, as I had booked through the Universal Vacations website and of course they didn't pass on my reservation to the hotel. Lucky for me, the famous Doris was working on the evening of my arrival. All I did was show her my confirmation paperwork and she assigned me a room with no... More

With less than a month's notice, we booked a room based on a good rate during what must be Orlando's busiest week of the year, the last one. There are not many surprises in a Holiday Inn Express. It was clean and bright, and the staff was courteous and efficient. It would have been nice to have a balcony, but... More

This hotel although is not really very accessible, but it is near some restaurants and convenient stores, and also is part of the iRide Trolley route. It also has free shuttle service to the nearby themeparks. Got a double room and it is very spacious. Breakfast is okay if your expectations is not high, afterall, its complimentary and is like...

Stayed at this hotel for 2 nights while in Orlando. The hotel was very clean. We weren't at the hotel very much since we were out and about so much, but when we were there it was so quiet that we thought we had the place to ourselves. The only time we noticed the other guests was at breakfast. Ironically,... More

Very short experience here as we only planned one night before staying at the Hard Rock. WE arrived late about 9:30 p.m. Check-in was fine, staff at front desk friendly. Unfortunately given a connecting room even though I requested non-connecting and I'm a Platinum Priority club member. However, they were gracious and changed my room upon request. Note that room...
