Please use this review as my submission for a new reality show where experts come in to fix some of the worst hotels in America. I needed a hotel for one night and out of over 400 hotels i could've chosen from in Orlando, this was the absolute worse one. The odds of choosing this are rare and for that I feel lucky. I'm not disgruntled over the $22 parking charge or the stupid destination that worked at all of the restaurants that were closed but for the fact that on top of having a 9-5 job, I got to double as a hotel housekeeper. If you have any interest in seeing if hotel housekeeping is the job for you, come to this hotel. You'll be cleaning toilet seats and the bathroom all night long. Have your pick of cleaning up short hairs off the toilet seat or just the state of the shower. After a long night's work of cleaning your room, you'll enjoy the stained bedding that at all the various levels of poor quality linens there are. And don't try to outsmart this hotel on dirty bedding by getting a room with two beds...they both will have stains. In the room are two over priced water bottles. I tell you this because you'll probably be charged for looking at them...we were! Didn't touch them, let alone drink them but got charged for them. But what about that destination fee I paid. did that cover the waters? No. And neither does having Marriott Bon Voy status. If you want to call anybody and share feedback, thoughts or even compliment them on extending the scares of Halloween into November, good luck. The number in the Marriott App is always busy, which I can only assume is due to the fact they're getting so many calls raving about the hotel. The number from Google rings, but that's it. If you do get lucky and have the opportunity to speak to someone (truly, consider yourself lucky and buy a scratch off ticket)...don't be shocked if they tell you there's nothing they can do about living in filth and providing free labor In the end, the moral of the story is if the price of a hotel seems too good to be true for a last minute deal, it is. And if you don't listen to that...just don't prepay. Because when things go wrong, you will get nothing back. (And that applies even if you still purchase through Marriott). The only good part of this stay was Connor at check in. I promised I'd write a review, and at that time I was planning on it being a good one...but here we are. If you see this, you were great and I hope you use this portion of the review as a reference so you can get a job at a better hotel that actually deserves your talent. Read less

I stay at this hotel for convenience, near a theme park. The check-in process, they need to work on that, 2 employees and we were waiting on one side, all of a sudden more people walked in and stand in the other area, the group that was previously waiting were not taking into consideration.

I stay at this hotel for convenience, near a theme park. The check-in process, they need to work on that, 2 employees and we were waiting on one side, all of a sudden more people walked in and stand in the other area, the group that was previously waiting were not taking into consideration. Hotel lobby nice, the room was cozy, bathroom clean, pillows might need a better firmer one at least, out the 3, too flat. Coffee option in the room, not so great, and they do not offer tea. The breakfast buffet, an ok selection, not the best, by the time you bring your plate to your table, that first bite is cold. Very greasy bacon. I didn't bother trying the coffee. The scrambled eggs too watery, is that a quality issue here? During check-in they give you a $5 voucher but you cannot use the day after for breakfast, only that night?? But location, comfy beds, A plus. Read less

Let me start by saying that the staff was wonderful. Just pleasant and professional. The hotel itself is pretty dated and lacking in some room comforts. But my biggest problem with this hotel is the additional charges. Others have mentioned the $5 destination fee. That's just a money grab.

Let me start by saying that the staff was wonderful. Just pleasant and professional. The hotel itself is pretty dated and lacking in some room comforts. But my biggest problem with this hotel is the additional charges. Others have mentioned the $5 destination fee. That's just a money grab. To be fair they give you a $5 voucher to be used on food. As we checked out we got a beverage from the "shop" by the check-in desk. After drinking it we saw that the drink was beyond its expiration date. The parking fee is outrageous. It is $22 to park outside on a surface lot. And, on top of that, you pay taxes on that $22. When booking always make sure to check the parking rate and consider that when choosing. Before we left I wrote a note in my phone... "Avoid Courtyards." This experience has not only turned me off to this hotel (we will not stay again) but to the entire Courtyard brand. Read less

Me and my wife upgraded here to stay for our 25th wedding anniversary to get a balcony room and free breakfast upgrade which was a lovely touch. Many thanks to the girl who checked us in on the 1st October (apologies did not get name but lovely girl)Transfer shuttle is ok, goes to Disney, Disney Springs and the Outlets but don't go to Universal Studios so bear that in mind. Drinks and food in hotel is bit more expensive, however outside opposite 24 hr gift shop is Connections which has a decent range of take away food to eat in or take out at more reasonable prices. If you go out the hotel I'd definitely recommend Millers Ale House and Longhorn Steakhouse which are both a short Uber or drive away. Hotel grounds and pool area were spotless. Rooms spacious with 2 queen size beds with fridge, microwave and coffee maker. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was plentiful with unlimited choice from 6.30 -1100, Jose was really great and hard worker. Housekeeping comes daily to a great standard. Location is on top of Disney but bit further out from Universal, although plenty of amenities nearby including Bahama Breeze Caribbean restaurant and BJ Brewhouse which did a great brisket burger. My wife is really fussy and had no complaints whatsoever, we would definitely recommend and would certainly return. Thank you to all the staff for a memorable stay. Read less

I am so sick from being in that hotel room. Room smelled of mold and mildew, pillows were mildewy.

I am so sick from being in that hotel room. Room smelled of mold and mildew, pillows were mildewy. I asked for new pillows which took forever to get, half of the new ones smelled the same and were damp. Sometimes our sheets would feel wet from the humidity. Weird air conditioning machine outside the elevators on our floor. Front desk not very friendly. Bathroom was clean but looked very old and something was weird with the tub. The tub had a bump in the middle of it. There was no safe in the room and the refrigerator didn't work. I would never ever stay here again, and never recommend this place to anyone. I probably should had asked for compensation. Read less
