Wyndham Orlando - posted on 11/30/2005
Rooms were clean, service great. Breakfast buffet was wonderful. Location on International Drive was great. Within walking distance to many shops and restaurants as well as a short drive to Disney. Beautiful complex.

This really is a nice place, it just needs a good bug man and updating
Disappointed - posted on 06/01/2007
The best part of the resort was the pool and location, other than that, you would be reaching. Rooms are old, cleaning service was disappointing, room got cleaned at 4:30 pm, and do not try to park after 11:00 pm. For the price, you are better off going to the disney resorts, pay the extra, it's worth it.
The Skinny - posted on 06/01/2007
This hotel is good place to rest your head. A family may have better time. The poolside bar is good but not much else to do once you've had a dip and a drink. If your trip calls for you to be out of the hotel most of the time then this is a good place to come back to and relax at the end of the day. A big plus is the service and housekeeping.
Great hotel - posted on 05/27/2007
Orlando, Wynham was a great stay, we enjoyed everything the hotel had to offer, everyone was nice from the front desk to the housekeeping service. This hotel offered alot you really dont have to go anywhere because everything you need is right there on the grounds of the hotel......I would recommend this hotel to anyone that may be thinking about staying at a resort next to all the local attractions and etc......
offbeat but not - posted on 05/22/2007
Great set up. It gave you a relaxing environment right off a busy street. Close walking distance to all types of entertainment and resteraunts. Great spot for little get aways as a couple or family trip, for the low rates.
Quiet Relaxation - posted on 05/16/2007
I stayed only three days and two nights, in town for a business meeting. The atmosphere and facilities of this resort made it feel like my own personal vacation. Quiet walks, uncrowded exercise room, pools, spa. And yet I didn't have to take a cab to find restaurants and entertainment within a couple of blocks.
Awesome - posted on 04/16/2007
This property is a short walking distance to local shops, restaurants and entertainment. Free shuttle to SeaWorld is a plus. Will definitely stay next time my travels take me to the Orlando area. High recommend to other travelers. The only down side was could hear people in the rooms next to you. Staff was accomodating in trying to move us to another room, however, due to three weddings, two conventions, etc. unable to do so. They did make the effort. A++++++ to everyoone
fair experience - posted on 04/16/2007
very heavy traffic area, clean room, could hear people running back and forth at night, parking problems
NO COMPLAINTS - posted on 04/11/2007
WOULD STAY THERE AGAIN WITHOUT A QUESTION. STAFF WAS VERY HELPFUL AND ACCOMODATING. THE ROOM WAS CLEANED EVERY DAY. THE GROUNDS WERE NICE. WOULD HAVE LIKED A REFRIGERATOR IN THE ROOM. VERY CLOSE TO ALL ORLANDO SITES.
Will return - posted on 04/05/2007
well I'm sitting at the airport after just leaving, what a great hotel. friendly staff, pool areas were great for adukts and kids, rooms alittle older but if you stay more than 20 % in the room u shouldn't be in orlando.
A smiling face goes a great way - posted on 04/04/2007
The hotel was fine. The pool was great! It would have been wonderful to have been greeted with greater hospitality and warmth from the front desk staff.
Great Stay :) - posted on 04/02/2007
I felt as though it was a great hotel and I would definitely stay there again! The room was nice, the people were nice, the amenities were wonderful, and the grounds were beautiful!
A Normal Trip - posted on 03/30/2007
Everything was great when we stayed there. we were actually there with what I believe was spring break so a lot of kids were there. My boyfriend played in the arcade( which there aren't many games for those wondering) and I lounged by the pools. Everything was fine until we went to check out! They tried to charge us $13 for a call from Ny that we never took. We weren't even in the room at the time the call came in, but because it rang to our room they tried to charge us so I had to be reimbursed. Other than that everything was great!
FEES - posted on 03/26/2007
Be careful there are hiden resort and internet fees I did not know about when booking
Room - posted on 03/25/2007
the room was smaller than I expected
Needs Improvement: the room was not fresh scented (stale odor)
Great for Families - posted on 03/22/2007
I was there in 2006 and the pool area had everything needed to keep the kids entertained. Gatorville was next to the pool and that was for the adult entertainment. I returning next week and will leave another review. looking forward to returning.
Think twice - posted on 03/22/2007
The service was poor. They were cutting corners. No Ice. Keys didnt work took a while and 2 calls to get technician to fix keys. Internet was an extra charge and the Internet connection was broken and required a wait for someone to fix it.
More like a 1 or 2 star rating - posted on 03/20/2007
Room smelled musty, found hair in the shower, next day a roach landed on my shoulder (I killed it and called housekeeping to clean it up) and then my son took a shower and started to use a clean towel, however, there was wax with hair on the towel - not an overall good experience. The grounds are beautiful though. I spoke to the manager and they gave me $70.00 off my bill, but I would never stay there again. I expected much more from a resort especially for the price.
Wonderful visit! - posted on 03/19/2007
We were very happy with our visit! We had King room, which had had wood floors and was spacious and clean. Pool open 24 hours. Within walking distance to lots of restaraunts. Only complaint is that every time we went to the ice cream/coffee shop, it was closed and there's only 1 hottub!
Nice Place - posted on 03/13/2007
I had read some bad reviews for this hotel but I don't think they are entirely true.The only bad thing about it was you could hear people in other rooms. It was very clean and nice. Air conditioner worked good, coffe shop in the resort, parking was an issue when special events are going on but not to bad.
Never again!! - posted on 02/27/2007
The location of the hote might be convenient, close to a stores and food. But the rooms inside need work. The paint was chipping in the bathroom. There are two pools, the west pool I suggest to stay away from since it's so close to the main road. Parking was a good deal-free. There's only two ice machines in one building.
Good Stay - posted on 02/22/2007
Excellent pet service, would stay again, plenty of room for my puppy to roam, gave us room with no carpet which made cleaning easy. Guard was mean to my fiaance, we complained and they offered apologies, but there was no need to questions our stay. Food too pricey, better going to area restaurants. Pools good especially the one in the back.
great stay - posted on 02/07/2007
I've stayed here twice now and I know when people are lying in their review. Do not believe anyone who has anything below 3 stars. The grounds are amazing, the service is incredible, and the rooms are comfortable. Take it from someone who has a lot of experience.
A Disappointment - posted on 02/06/2007
Check-in was a hassle. Our first room was next to a exterior stairwell and EXTREMELY noisy!! The main lightbulb was burnt out and the room key scanner stopped working. Our new room was better, but room service failed to deliver until we called and reminded them of our order (almost 45 minuted after the original delivery time). We waited another 20 minutes for the food. We were still charged an automatic delivery charge of $2 plus a 19% tip. Despite, the many incidents, hotel staff remained friendly but unapologetic. Definitely our last stay at the Orlando Wyndham.

The location of the hotel is great for Universal and Sea World. Lots of resturants nearby. Beautiful pool and Gatorville was great. But the room was adequate and our phone did not work,
How in the world is this a 3 star? - posted on 01/16/2007
I figured I couldn't go wrong with a 3 star hotel, but gosh, I sure did. The first room we got was gross. The 2nd room was slightly better but there was a weird smell the whole time. The bathroom was dirty, and I was glad I had flip flops with me because I could not bear to walk barefoot in there. I expected a lot more, especially compared to the lovely grounds the hotel has. It is in GREAT need of room updates!
not impressed - posted on 01/06/2007
I was not impressed with this hotel at all. I expected a much nicer hotel especially with the name resort in it. The rooms desperately needed to be thoroughly cleaned. You could see the dust balls on the walls and ceilings. I did not feel comfortable sleeping at all. I would not go back again.
Disapointment - posted on 11/11/2006
Didn't get the king-size room that I reserved. Small room, too much furniture. Got locked IN the room. Took thirty minutes for workers to fix the lock and let me out. Bed too hard, had to pay for internet access, movies are too expensive, front desk staff too few, took forever to answer phone and check in and out. Bottom line, not worth the money I paid for the room.
Needs Cleaning - posted on 11/10/2006
Our first room was so dirty and we had to ask for a new one, which was only slightly cleaner. Parking / room ratio is limited. Pools are very nice, as is the onsite Starbucks. Shops and restaurants off site are close and plentiful. Staff were nice, but clueless.
Hotel stay - posted on 11/01/2006
booked for 2 couples with rooms together, they were not even though I called and confirmed everything twice..... No shuttle service like they said they would have
Disappointed - posted on 10/23/2006
There were dead bugs in the light fixtures, general areas of the property were not clean, our room was not kept up, and not enough parking for registered guests
A real dive - posted on 10/18/2006
The rooms are very dirty, bedspreads were filthy and the towels were badly stained. This is a two star hotel at best. It's not that well maintained as you see just looking at the front door. The place is tired and in need of a good wrecking ball.
Hotel, not resort - posted on 09/07/2006
We enjoued our stay, but had to change rooms the first day due to smell and noise. The second room was nicer but had limited parking close to the room. The pool was great and the drinks were wonderful.
One heck of a good time! - posted on 08/30/2006
I found the hotel personnel to be very friendly & accomodating. I only wish I could have stayed longer!
Motel not a Resort - posted on 08/21/2006
We arrived at the hotel and after waiting on line for 15 minutes was checked in. Upon arriving at our room we were met with a musty stale oder. The bath rooms were dirty, I would not put my dog into the shower let alone my body. We immediately went back to the front desk and check out. For a few extra dollars we checked into a beautiful clean hotel on the same strip. Do not trust the pictures on the web site for this place.
Excellent choice! - posted on 07/30/2006
The Wyndam resort was a great choice for our vacation to Orlando because it was located on I-Drive, within walking distance of several of Orlando's attractions. We also loved hanging out by the many pools on the well-landscaped grounds. It's not often we stay in an affordable hotel that's as nice as this one! We would definitely reccomend the Wyndam to anyone.
Great resort! - posted on 07/29/2006
Overall LOVED this Resort. Close to all major attractions. Clean and very well maintained. The resort is HUGE so if your not into walking I dont recommend it however I loved it :) Espically the pools and Gatorville Bar
Move ON - posted on 07/06/2006
This hotel is extremly over priced for the accomodations you receive. It is hard to get in and out of. There are 16 small buildings which all have rooms in them, not one large building so you have to drive to the pool or other parts of the hotel. The staff is extremly unfriendly and the internet is not free. There are only about 6 or 8 TV channels.
Disappointed - posted on 06/27/2006
We went into 6 or more rooms and each were filthy. Wet/Stained matress, molded dirty showers, food/soiled comforters, huge stains in carpet.
Hotel not a resort - posted on 06/23/2006
If you are looking for a place to just sleep this place would work, the activites are not conveniently located we had to drive to the pool. If you would like a resort I do not recommend. We found two bugs one in closet and the other in bathroom. Rooms do smell like mildew. Good location. But more of a hotel than a resort. Staff was nice and we were able to check in 4 hours early
It's called a mop! - posted on 06/21/2006
Dirty, Dirty, Dirty!!! We actually liked the laminate flooring but it was filthy, along with the walls, sheets - had to get changed before we could sleep! Front desk was great, ice cream shop was great, pools great, location great and landscaping was beautiful.
Great deal in Orlando - posted on 05/01/2006
Surprisingly excellent hotel, well maintained, beautiful rooms and grounds, quiet even in the midst of I-Drive attractions. Lots of room at 3 pools, staff most helpful. I stay in hotels of all types all over USA 50-60 nights a year and can say comfortably that this is a top-tier property.
Surpisingly Nice - posted on 04/28/2006
From the previous reviews I read I wasn't sure what i was booking but I found the hotel had friendly staff, clean rooms, good location and nice pools. Only fault I could find was the air condition unit was loud. Otherwise, a nice place to stay.
My Stay at the Wyndham - posted on 04/24/2006
The Wyndham was the best hotel in the area. Everything is close, Universal Studios,Disney,SeaWorld exc. I don't have much complaints about the Wyndham other than we could not check in before the check in time and when it was actualy time to check in the room still wasn't ready, we had to wait an extra 20min to check in. The bathroom is not roomy. The room is clean the hotel is nice and you're free to go and come as you please. Hotel offers tickets to theme parks but try to get a better deal. There are alot of food places in the area.
Really loved this hotel - posted on 04/18/2006
We stayed at this hotel from 4/9-4/15/06. The hotel was excellent. It was in the heart of International Drive. Many places to eat- things to do. The hotel was extremely clean. The staff was excellent and friendly. Room was very clean. Hotel is right on International Drive the way the property is set up you never heard the traffic. I can't say enough about how clean the hotel is & how friendly the staff is. The 3 pools are a great feature. There is a big pool and kiddy pool in one area. This is great for those who have children with different swimming ability.
Pleasantly surprised - posted on 03/27/2006
I traveled with my wife and two small children. The room and hotel were clean. The pool area was large and very nicely landscaped. The bathroom was clean, the TV offered multiple channels, there were plenty of towels. Definitely recommended for the price. The only complaints I had were: 1) the door to the building did not lock, and 2) Int'l Drive is very busy, but that is not the fault of the hotel. Definitely recommended.
Never Again - posted on 03/26/2006
The location of the hotel and the pool are the only good things about it. I am Wyndham by Request member so I tried to stay with them as much as possible. I always get certain perks like a snack in room or more pillows and a free upgrade, but not if you stay at this location. I had to be moved 3 times before I got a clean room. The walls are paper thin. The person next to us recieved a international call at 3am in the morning it lasted till about 5am. We heard ever word! We were scheduled to stay 5 night, we only stayed 2 nights.
Great for families! - posted on 02/24/2006
We had a great stay! The room was good sized and clean. We enjoyed having the little fridge in the room and a small kids room off the main one for our little one's crib (they upgraded us for free). Also the playground and kiddie pools were nice, and the pool manager had lots of toys and floaties to loan us. Lots of great restaurants nearby (many shops and eateries within walking distance) However, housekeeping only came half the time we were there - we had to ration our clean towels at one point.
Orlando Wyndham - posted on 02/09/2006
Didn't seem to be worth the money. There was no free breakfast and the hotel needs an update. The room was fairly clean. However, the stir sticks left in the "clean" coffee mugs had been used before. You could see the old coffee stains on the stir sticks from the previous guest. Uggh. The hotel served it purpose though because we were not there much.
Good Overall - posted on 01/01/2006
The junior suite was comfortable and roomy for 2 people. Bed was comfortable and room was overall clean. However, I was disappointed that they chose not to replace the floor tile in the bathroom. That was the only down point. It made the bathroom look dirty, although we had a lovely housekeeper who did a great job cleaning. I would stay again.
great place with pets - posted on 11/06/2005
l actually thought it was pretty good for the cost of the rooms really close to seaworld,if your looking for a place to stay with your pets this is the place to stay.
Not worth it - posted on 10/28/2005
Tv had like 5 channels, internet access was expensive. Room was unimpressive for a 'suite'. Disney has better buys and better rooms on property if you can get em!
Change hotel name - posted on 10/15/2005
Room and hallway had dirty walls that needed painting, toilet tank running and flushing, the carpet was filthy dirty. The maid was rude when I ask her to reclean my bathroom. Some type of bug with many legs bit me while in the bed sleep.
Good stay, nice value - posted on 10/02/2005
Our room was nice and overall pretty clean. The shower could have used a bit more attention. The staff was friendly and the rooms were modern. The best feature was hardwood floors in our room. In addition, the outdoor areas were beautiful and included two pools! We would stay again. Location was wonderful!
Ick! - posted on 09/02/2005
Everything needed a fresh coat of paint, room was damp & filthy. Hair all over the bathroom floor, the tub and toilet hadnt been cleaned, spiderwebs in room...really gross. TV had only 10 lousy channels. I would NEVER stay here again.
You call this a 3 1/2 star? - posted on 07/27/2005
Room had dirty walls that needed painting, toilet tank ran running water for a few hours after flushing, the carpet was filthy dirty, my feet were black after walking barefoot while trying to dress for dinner, the phone by the bed was dead, and the maid walked into the room at 8am while we were sleeping, and every half hour after that until 10:30am when we departed. Checkout was not until 11am.
stay away!! - posted on 06/29/2005
the landscaping and pools are great...but thats it...The rooms are disgusting. We refused to stay in the first two they showed us, and they eventually have us a suite and we later found a cockaroach in it. The restaurants are very expensive.
My experience... - posted on 04/01/2005
my husband and I found it a great place to stay and would stay again. I asked for king room and got it. The room was clean and staff were helpful and friendly. I find it odd that if it was so bad to stay here, why was it so busy and others trying to get a booking there for a room? Will go again in a heartbeat.
Noisy Hotel - posted on 03/28/2005
I did not like the rooms in general because at night I could hear couples from the next room screaming to late hours during the night. I told the staff about it and they said that they were just having fun in bed. I do not reccomend this hotel to anyone until they sound proof these walls in this hotel it is a horrible place to stay.
Great Stay! - posted on 02/27/2005
We were a bit worried after reading some of the comments but we were really impressed by this hotel. We stayed for 4 nights and we got one of the newly renovated rooms with hardwood floors. The room was very clean and it had a beautiful view. The pool was lovely and inviting, the restaurants were great (minimal waiting), the staff was very friendly and the location was ideal (close to everything!). Can't wait to visit again! Highly recommend!
