Convenient to Disney World but Located Next to Noisy Highway
Review From: NexTag Editorial Review, Jun 9, 2008
Ideal for families visiting Walt Disney
World, the Homewood Suites Orlando-Walt
Disney World Resort offers suite-style
living at an affordable price. Guests
who are visiting Disney World do not
have to worry about transportation, as
the hotel's complimentary shuttles offer
rides to the Disney Transportation
Center. Aside from Disney attractions,
which are about a mile away, the hotel
is also close to the Celebration Golf
Club and Orlando Premium Outlet Mall.
The Water Mania water park is located
only half a mile from the hotel. A
variety of shops and restaurants are
also available in nearby Old Town.
The hotel consists of seven townhouse
buildings that offer 156 suites. The
suite sizes range from one to three
bedrooms but all suites contain full
kitchens and living areas. The kitchens
include two-burner ranges,
refrigerators, microwaves, and cookware.
Each suite offers two televisions and
two VCRs, one in the bedroom and one in
the living room. The decor is tropical,
with pastel colors and green carpeting.
Guests can lounge by the hotel's
freeform pool or relax in the hot tub.
Picnic tables and grills are also
available for guests to have their own
barbeques. The hotel does not have a
restaurant, but a complimentary
breakfast buffet is served each morning.
One downside is the hotel's close
proximity to a major highway. Traffic
noise from cars and trucks can be heard
from the hotel at all hours. This is the
tradeoff for the hotel's budget rates
and convenient location.
