JUST CAME BACK FROM THE COMFORT SUITES NEXT TO OLDTOWN. AUGUST 22-28, 2001. WE LOVED IT. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT FOR FAMILIES ON A BUDGET. I GOT IT OFF THE INTERNET FOR 54.00 A NITE, INTERNET RATE.
THE HOTEL HAS A COMPLIMENTARY CONTINENTAL BREAKFAST: CEREAL (FROOT LOOPS, RAISIN BRAN, FROSTED FLAKES), BAGELS, ENGLISH MUFFINS (PLAIN, CINNAMIN RAISIN), OATMEAL, YOGART, FRESH FRUIT, BREAD FOR TOAST. ORANGE JUICE, APPLE JUICE, STRAWBERRY KIWI JUICE, COFFEE, TEA, MILK AND WATER.
THEY HAD SHUTTLE BUSES TO ALL THE PARKS. THE FIRST BUS FOR UNIVERSAL CAME AT 7:25AM (WE NEEDED TO GET THERE FOR THE EARLY ENTRY) AND ANOTHER TIME IN THE MORNING .
THE DISNEY BUS CAME AT 8:25. 9:55, 11:55. ( I WOULD RECOMMEND RENTING A CAR IF POSSIBLE, I DIDN'T, BUT I WISH I HAD. SIMPLY BECAUSE THE DISNEY'S SHUTTLE BUS BACK TO THE HOTEL WAS 6:15) AND 2 TIMES AFTER THAT.
AT UNIVERSAL THE FIRST PICKUP WAS AT 3:25 THIS TIME WAS PERFECT FOR US.
BUT AT MAGIC KINGDOM WE LEFT ABOUT 3:00. IT WAS JUST TOO HOT. THE TAXI COST US 20 BUCKS.
ALSO, THE SHUTTLE STOPS AT 2 OTHER HOTELS ON THE WAY. IT WAS NO BIGGIE FOR US. WE WERE THE FIRST PICKUP SO WE ALWAYS HAD A SEAT.
NOW, ABOUT THE HOTEL, IT HAS A NICE SHAPED SWIMMING POOL (3 TO 5 FEET) PERFECT FOR KIDS. THEY HAD A HUGE JACUZZI. IT COULD EASILY FIT 15-20 PEOPLE IN IT. IT WAS VERY RELAXING COMING BACK FROM THE PARKS, GETTING A DRINK AND PUTTING MY FEET UNDER THE JET STREAMS. THERE'S NOTHING BEHIND THE HOTEL JUST GREENERY, THAT WAS WHERE THE JACUZZI WAS SO IT WAS VERY PEACEFUL AND QUIET SITTING IN THERE . THEY HAD A KIDDIE POOL IT MAY HAVE BEEN 2 FEET AND IT HAD A FOUNTAIN THAT SPLURTED OUT WATER VERY CUTE FOR THE LITTLE ONES. THEY HAD TABLES WITH UMBRELLAS AND LOUNGE CHAIRS AND TOWELS FOR YOUR USE. THEY HAD A POOLSIDE BAR THAT SERVED PIZZA, HAMBURGERS, HOTDOGS, BEER AND MIXED DRINKS. I KEPT GETTING A MANGO MARGARITA. IT WAS SOOOOO GOOD. WITH YOUR ROOM KEYS YOU GET 2 COUPONS FOR THE POOLSIDE BAR (BUY ONE DRINK GET ONE FREE.) DRINK WAS 4.50. OF COURSE I USED THOSE UP. THE HOTEL HAS A GAME ROOM WITH ABOUT 7 VIDEO GAMES ALSO A AIR HOCKEY TABLE AND COIN MACHINE THAT GIVE OUT TOKENS. THERE'S AN EXERCISE ROOM. THEY HAVE A GIFT SHOP. I BOUGHT MY SON AND I A RAFT FOR THE POOL. I ALWAYS BRING MY AIR PUMP WHEN I GO TO FLORIDA FOR SUCH OCCASIONS.
THE SUITE WAS VERY NICE. WE HAD A POOL VIEW. I WOULD RECOMMEND IF YOU GET A POOL VIEW TO AT LEAST BE UP ABOVE THE 3RD FLR. THE POOL IS OPEN 24 HRS A DAY. WE WERE ON THE 3RD FLR. AND I HEARD PEOPLE AROUND 1 IN THE MORNING. IT DIDN'T BOTHER ME BECAUSE I HAD THE AIR ON. BUT ON THE SAFE SIDE IF YOU LIKE QUIETNESS GET A HIGHER FLOOR. THE HOTEL HAS 7 FLOORS. IN THE MINI KITCHEN AREA WE HAD A MICROWAVE, FRIDGE WITH FREEZER, SINK AND CABINETS. WE HAD WENT TO PUBLIX GROCERY STORE ON OUR WAY THERE SO WE HAD GROCERIES. IT ALL FITTED IN OUR CABINETS. A LARGE BATHROOM AREA WITH A LOT OF COUNTER SPACE. HAIRDRYER, AN IRON AND IRONING BOARD IS IN THE CLOSET. A SAFE TOO. YOU HAVE 1 TV. THEY HAD SHOWTIME AND THE BASIC CABLE CHANNELS. YOUR SOFA PULLS OUT INTO A BED. THE BED WAS SO COMFORTABLE AND SO WERE THE PILLOWS. I ALWAYS HAVE A HARD TIME SLEEPING SOME WHERE ELSE. BUT THE BEDS AND SHEETS WERE SO COMFORTABLE.
YOU HAVE TO PUT 25.00 DOWN IF YOU ARE GOING TO USE THE PHONE.
A WASHER AND DRYER IS ON EVERY FLOOR. ICE MACHINE ON YOUR FLOOR AND SODA MACHINE.
THE HOTEL IS VERY CLEAN. EVERY TIME I TURNED AROUND SOMEONE WAS CLEANING. THEY KEEP THE HOTEL VERY NICE. THE STAFF IS SO FRIENDLY. THE HOTEL IS A LITTLE OVER A YEAR OLD.
I SIGNED UP FOR THEIR "GUEST PRIVILEDGE" ON THE CHOICE HOTEL WEBSITE AND GOT A LATE CHECKOUT OF 2:00PM. (PLANE WAS LEAVING AT 4:30) YOU CAN ALSO GET AN UPGRADE TO A ROOM WITH A JACUZZI TUB. BUT WHEN I WENT THE HOTEL WAS FILLED.
THE HOTEL IS BACK OFF OF 192 IN KISSIMMEE. ITS BY ITSELF YOU DON'T HAVE ANY TRAFFIC NOISE. ITS NEAR OLDTOWN. WE WENT OVER THERE ONE NIGHT THE KIDS HAD FUN. THEY HAVE 25 CENT PEPSIS IN THE GENERAL STORE.
I RECOMMEND THIS HOTEL AND WOULD DEFINITELY STAY HERE AGAIN.
