We recently stayed here for 6 nights and had a truly wonderful experience. From the moment we arrived, the staff was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help.
Our room offered an absolutely amazing view that never got old. On top of that, the location is unbeatable—it was perfect for exploring, and having a local bus station so close and accessible made getting around incredibly easy.
Plus, there is a fantastic variety of restaurants right around the hotel, making it so convenient to grab a great meal after a long day of exploring. Highly recommend this place for a seamless and comfortable stay!

Ignore the negative reviews. As a budget option, this hotel smashes every category. We’ve just checked out after 2 weeks and couldn’t have been happier.
The beds were so comfy, the lake view was stunning, the location is super convenient with lots of restaurants in walking distance and the iRide bus stop just outside.
The shuttle bus to Universal provided by the hotel was good (you have to book the day before) but was at fixed times that weren’t convenient to us - so we simply walked 10 mins up the road to Endless Summer and took the universal shuttle from there. They run every 15 mins and are free to the public, as well as hotel guests (I checked with Universal first!).
The FREE breakfast was great - a pancake machine, bagels, waffles, fruits, granola, yoghurt, cereal, endless bread for toast, there’s bloody loads. And juices and coffee too!
Housekeeping seems to be an issue for people but every 3 days was not an issue for us. We never ran out of anything, had loads of towels, toilet roll etc but reception did say in the meantime if you need anything like that they’d sort you out.
And free unlimited fast WiFi! Would 100% return if we came back to i-drive.

I cannot begin to think where I’d start with expressing how poor of an experience my co-workers and I had dealing with this property!
We asked for early check in and got to the hotel to be told the rooms were not ready yet. It is no exaggeration when I say it was 8 hours later before our rooms were ready. 8 hours.
We were not the only ones either. There’s a big convention going on that a lot of us attending this week. You’d think a hotel would be prepared.
Once we got to our rooms things seemed fine but several of us had TV issues. Mine had a staticy pop that occurred about every 5-10 seconds.
The cleaning staff were extremely noisy out in the hall and well, it’s just bad for the price you pay during convention season. This is a mistake we will not be making again.
I’m no prima donna but damn, what a terrible experience.

We stayed at this hotel for 7 nights during our New Year’s trip to Disney World and had a very pleasant experience. The room was a good size and offered beautiful views from both sides — one overlooking the lake and the other facing the city. It made our stay feel bright and relaxing.
Housekeeping came every 3 nights to clean and replenish the room, which worked well for us during a long stay. Breakfast was served early with simple, basic options. Just a note: if you arrive later in the morning, there may not be much left since items aren’t refilled.
For the price and the hotel’s proximity to Disney World, we felt it was absolutely worth it. It provided comfortable living at a reasonable rate, which is perfect for families spending most of their time in the parks. I would recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a convenient, comfortable, and budget‑friendly place to stay in Orlando.

Second time staying here for an Orlando Theme Park holiday. No complaints from me. It is not a top tier expensive flash hotel, but it isn't supposed to be. It is great value, in a great location and the staff were very nice and helpful. Room was nice, had everything we needed. The biggest bonus is no parking fees. Makes this hotel stand out above a lot of others!
