international palms resort

[boop oop a doop]

im staying in the international palms resort along international drive i was wondering has anyone stayed there before? as i cant really find any reviews online

not a surprise - look at the reviews on trip advisor - the resort goes after those that post a review

the bugs are big roaches also called (in florida and LA only) Palmetto bugs

florida and most of the south has several different types of roaches - they do fly -

here an article from University of Florida

thanks for the links

im shocked at how bad the reviews are for the hotel i dont think ill be staying there after all unless i find more good reviews then bad ones

hmm im torn about it after reading more down the page there are some really good ones

i wont be in the hotel much anyway and as long as i dont come across any cockroaches i should be fine lol

it is florida you will see roaches. even disney has them.

the big ones are hard to kill because they don't live inside like the little ones. they only come inside to eat and drink - then they go back outside.

so to prevent these things - watch when you open a door or window - these things generally walk in to rooms not fly.

forgot - when you see a bunch of negative review - then see a bunch of positive reviews -

go investigate both - look for people with more than 20 reviews - then go look at those reviews - if this is their only hotel - beaware.

if they have only a few reviews and their reviews are negative - would be more likely to think they are correct. Most people will complaint a bunch before they say anything positive.

here is one (my opinion)

it has some negative reviews - then all of these positive ones...

the hotel is

on this one don't know who to believe - the reviews are so mixed.

the hotel had more negative reviews then good ones and the roaches have put me off ive stayed in florida before and never seen any.

i think ill just stick with the rosen inn along international drive i stayed there before five years ago and have seen that its still getting alot of good reviews

thanks for the information though
