This review has been supplied to us by our reader Lisa Smith

” A good hotel situated towards the bottom of International Drive, within walking distance of many bars, shops and restaurants. We found the hotel very clean and our room was very spacious.
This hotel is a 100% smoke-free environment which we liked.
Would recommend this hotel for couples looking for bargain holidays or anyone on business.  The location is great but I would certainly recommend hiring a car in Orlando so you can get to see all the attractions and it’s also easy to get to the Coast both being approx an hours drive away.”
