The hotel

A sparkling new addition to the Kissimmee holiday scene, with everything you need for a theme park holiday (plus some rather fun perks thrown in on top). Located just three miles from the gates of Walt Disney World®, this brand new hotel features beautifully appointed rooms. Enjoy complimentary coffee from the café before you set off for the theme parks. When you return, you can soothe those ride-ravaged muscles with a soak in the heated outdoor pool and a float in its ultra-relaxing lazy river, or a stretch in the fitness room’s yoga zone, before tucking into homemade tortillas and fiery guacamole at its Mexican restaurant.

Far away from being a resort or a good hotel. They charge resort fee but the resort is not what it is said to be, the wood for the stairs up the slide seemed like it was rotting, most floaties were deflated, tables and chairs dirty, no landscaping executed in very long time. The corners of the room and under the bed seemed like it hadn’t been… Read more
Far away from being a resort or a good hotel. They charge resort fee but the resort is not what it is said to be, the wood for the stairs up the slide seemed like it was rotting, most floaties were deflated, tables and chairs dirty, no landscaping executed in very long time. The corners of the room and under the bed seemed like it hadn’t been cleaned in weeks, the hallway had a odd smell. My bathroom had few things broken, including the bath fan. Some employees try their best and are nice. Although all the life guards were on their phones or smartwatches the entire time while there were children in the pool and lazy river, only one dark blonde young lady was very responsible and attentive. The pool was not clean and spa was filled with excessive chlorine. This hotel has the structure to be a resort but isn’t well kept. Truly disappointed. I do not recommend, very expensive for what they offer. Read less

We have just finished a week’s stay at Red Lion hotel. What a great find, we booked very last minute for a week and picked this hotel for its cost, location and reviews. The hotel staff are all really friendly and welcoming. The pool is one of the hotel’s best features, clean, lots of loungers and a lazy river with a slide which was an additional bonus. It also felt really safe with several life guards around. The rooms were clean and well appointed. There is a fridge, microwave and safe. Whilst there wasn’t an in-room coffee maker they offered free coffee in the lobby every morning. Room cleaning is on request which was fine for us as we didn’t need it serviced every day. It was a bit loud at night and in the mornings with people starting their days early (5:30am) and coming home late, but that can’t be helped. There are lots of shops and restaurants around with Perkins, Walgreens and 7/11 just across the street. Other restaurants were a quick walk and Target a 5min drive. Disney is only 15mins away and Universal 20mins. We would happily stay at this hotel again. Thanks for a great stay! Read less

The red line hotel is a wonderful hotel. Especially for the price, their staff are very friendly. The rooms are clean and very comfortable and will appoint it with everything you need for your stay. They have a really nice pool and also for the price. They have a real awesome water slide and lazy river and have a pool bar that sells all like dinner. Burgers fries and different drinks. You want beer otherwise? I recommend this place to anyone who has a family that's on a budget. And that wants to spend a quality time with her family but not spend whole lot of money on a trip.Breakfast is not included but that does not take away from the other key benefits of being in this hotel Read less

We had an excellent time. The room was huge, the bed was so comfy, and very clean. We enjoyed the pool and didn’t want to leave. Staff was great. We have no complaints. Lots of places to eat near by. Was able to walk across the street for breakfast. Many stores and things around we were able to walk to. We will definitely return.

This establish needs to work on there customer service. You have employees on there phone speaking about the guest since they speak spanish they assume you don’t understand but I did. The lazy river is not open on time staff seems to always be running late didn’t open it up until 1pm. I also requested a late check out and was advised by the Sup JT if that is her name since she had no name tag and seem relectent to give it to me just call in the morning instead of assisting me with my request at the time. I went back later that evening and spoke with another gentlemen Anthony and he was a sweet man and help me with the late check out he advised me that he could give me a complimentary check out and that it’s usually 12 but he would put it to 2pm and after i would have to pay a late fee. I was so excited that he assisted me and went the extra mile. The next day myself and my nephew hung out at the pool until 12:30 we went to our room and the key card is not working. we went downstairs to the front desk and lo and behold. There is a supervisor JT. I advised her that the card is no longer working and our things are in the room and I would like to go in and get our stuff. She advises me that we are going to be charged a late fee because we did not check out at 11. I advised her that I spoke with the gentleman last night and he had set it up that we would have we would be able to check out at 2 PM and there would be no charge she continue to go on the state. No there are no notes and you will be charged a fee as I try to explain to her that that is not true and if she can reach out to that gentleman, she continue to have a smirk on her face did not want to assist and just kept stating no you will have to pay the fee. I advise. I will not pay the fee and she advised that she that I would not be able to get my things and continue to smirk again, I explained to her that it was not fair and she should provide some type of customer service. Then I asked for the corporate number so that I would be able to file complaint and she stated there is no corporate number I’ve giving you our office number. I advised her that i will give a call to corporate she then advised me I’ll speak with the gentleman and if he says that he did tell you that then I’ll refund your money, but you’re still gonna be charged this fee their representatives have poor customer service representatives no compassion and need learn how to problem solve. I will never do business at this company ever again nor promote them in the future. I will continue to file complaint with corporate office and I will ask for my money back if I have to dispute it with my bank, I will, but I do believe that this is unfair, treatment and a way to rip people off , do not come here Read less
