The hotel has fair sized and very clean rooms. The staff were also friendly and helpful. We always got a lounger at the pool area, when required. There was a fridge and microwave in room. We were also supplied with plenty of toiletries and clean towels during our stay. Good location - just one block behind International Drive which was a bit quieter.



There are tea and coffee machines in the foyer where you could help yourself to endless hot drinks. The hotel also supplies a free shuttle to Disney and Universal parks. There is a car hire office also on site and a small gift shop.



I travelled with MyTravel airline who were excellent, no long queues going or coming back. The food onboard was very good and the cabin staff very friendly. On our flight home we arrived one hour early. The three films shown onboard were also very good.

Everything from the flight to the hotel was average and therefore a rating of 5 or 6 would be appropriate. The reason I rate the holiday as 8 is purely due to the price £2100 for flights, hotel, car hire (inc. taxes and full insurance) for 5 of us.



The flight itself was great in that it arrived in Orlando and arrived back in Manchester ahead of schedule. The meals on board were rather poor but unlike a lot of airlines the price included meals. The entertainment was very poor due to a poor quality projector that people constantly seemed to be in the way of (no TVs in the back of seats), but the movies were up to date.



The seats are supposed to be the most generous for leg room than any other economy seat. The seats by the windows looked like they had a lot less room than the central seats.



But overall this flight worked out at least £500 cheaper between the 5 of us than the next cheapest option and personally do not think a TV in the back of the seat is worth the extra.



The hotel was basic, but clean. Buffet breakfast was of a good standard and choice (except for no bacon, eggs, etc). It was more like a motel than hotel as room doors faced outwards. This bothered me a little because as anyone could walk into the car park and up to my door. When the cleaners were in your room the door was left open and anyone could have walked in off the street (the cleaner wouldn't have known if it was a paying guest or a thief).



Apart from the possible security risk I could not fault this hotel for the price we paid. An excellent budget choice (great location) for those who prefer to spend there holiday "out and about".
