This is a gorgeous hidden property without all the Disney bright colors & animation signage. Think upscale resort! Self parking was $36, valet $42. We chose valet and so glad we did! Each day we called to let them know we were on our way down and our car was ready out front - zero hassle. We were able to check in a little before the standard 4PM check in and experience the lazy river. Very family friendly environment! Starbucks didn't seem to be open when we walked by yet we ordered a charcuterie board from the bar for $30 and took it to our room. So glad we did! The transportation to each Disney park was included and helped tremendously! The staff were wonderful, the room was clean and well maintained. We travel frequently and this hotel is exactly what we have come to expect from a 4 star hotel. Thank you Wyndham!

This stay was a last minute decision but definitely a good decision. I booked this reservation…read morethrough my Amex Fine Hotel benefits, which includes several amenities. We arrived around 7pm and I went to check in while hubs parked the car. I was greeted as I approached the door, with a staff member holding the door open and guiding me where to check in. As I approached the desk, I was greeted and offered assistance. The check in was quick but I was kind of disappointed with the lack of upgrade options. Also, the welcome amenity I received was a box of chocolates with the box already damaged (see picture). I would think a hotel of this caliber would not give that to guests. We did receive a very thoughtful card and to drink vouchers to celebrate our anniversary, which was very nice! The individual who checked me in informed me our room had the Disney view and there would be fireworks, which we did not see. We are not Disney fans so we really did not prefer one view over another. The room was very nice. Everything was clean and tidy. I was disappointed with the slippers supplied though. They were not branded and looked like they were purchased at a discount kind of store. The air conditioning was decent but I do feel like it should have been colder. The room was quiet and so were the hallways. I had clients the next day so that was especially important. One of the Amex benefits is a 4pm check out. Since my work heavily involves HIPAA, I cannot do my job with other people present. My husband left and we had the privacy button/ light on so I would not be interrupted by housekeeping. I am unsure if the light turned off at regular checkout time (11am) and I did not think to double check but housekeeping knocked on my door and then opened it while I was working. I was under the impression that housekeeping would have a list of guests who are checking out late and not disrupt. I also did not put the security latch on after hubs left but I did not expect to be disturbed. The service at the restaurants and bars were magnificent. I unfortunately did not have time to book services at the spa but stopped in prior to leaving and they were very helpful and professional. This was my first experience at a Waldorf and probably not the best choice since there were as many kids as there were adults.

One last meal before heading home. I decided to have breakfast at Keke's Breakfast Cafe. I have…read moreread so many reviews about this place from other yelpers, and now I get to experience it for myself, but no one mentioned how packed this place was. One thing I believe in is when a restaurant is consistently packed, that signifies the food is good. Along with other groups of people, I had to wait to be seated, but it wasn't for long. I followed the hostess through the spacious restaurant until he placed me at a small booth table. My server was very pleasant. She approached the table, warmly greeted me, and asked if I would like some orange juice, which I gladly accepted. At the same time, I placed an order for their apple cinnamon french toast. Wow, I was impressed with the presentation. Three thick slices of bread nicely browned with cinnamon-spiced apple filling and dusted with powdered sugar. This dish didn't need any syrup. The flavors from the apples was just enough and it was so ooey-gooey good. The meal was thoroughly enjoyed and I received satisfactory service. I am definitely looking forward to my next visit.

Go to First Watch instead…read more I was optimistic about Keke's after a Yelp breakfast for dinner event a couple years ago. We tried to come here on a Saturday around 10am and there was a line so we returned Sunday at 7:30am. No line, but we had to wait about 5 minutes to be seated. They may have been waiting on more staff since half the restaurant was empty. Our food was fine but on par with Denny's or Perkins. My potatoes were slightly undercooked and warm at best. Worst part: we came here to use a gift card since we're moving out of the country in three days. Sorry, our machine isn't taking gift cards at this time so just use it next time. We told the manager it only had $10 and she said there was nothing she could do. I found a local couple on our way out and gave it to them. I would not recommend Keke's even without the gift card situation.

Stayed on the 8th floor far away from the elevators so it was a little bit of a walk but it was quiet. The room had black out curtains and not a peep of light got through them.

Also the shuttles to the parks were super convenient and came almost every hour.

We stayed at Signia by Hilton Orlando Bonnet Creek expecting a high-end Hilton experience, but…read moreunfortunately had a very concerning cleanliness issue during our stay. Shortly after arrival, we noticed what appeared to be blood on the bed comforter. We initially assumed housekeeping would replace the bedding during routine room service, so we did not immediately escalate it. However, after multiple housekeeping visits over approximately two days, the same visibly stained bedding remained on the bed and was never replaced. What upset us most was not just the stain itself, but the fact that housekeeping serviced the room multiple times and still left the bedding in place. This created serious sanitation concerns and made us uncomfortable using the room. We brought the issue to the hotel's attention at checkout and were offered only waived resort fees. We then attempted to resolve the matter through both the property and Hilton Guest Assistance. Despite multiple follow-ups, the final offer from Hilton was only 10,000 Hilton Honors points on a stay that cost approximately 140,000 points. I am posting this because I believe future guests deserve to make informed decisions regarding cleanliness standards and how serious concerns are handled after they are reported. I have attached photos documenting the condition before and after housekeeping service. UPDATE: I want to add that after additional escalation through Hilton's social media support team, Hilton ultimately reviewed the situation more thoroughly and issued a substantial points adjustment that I felt more appropriately reflected the seriousness of the concern. While I still wish the issue had been handled differently initially, I genuinely appreciated finally feeling heard and taken seriously. I think it is only fair to acknowledge that Hilton did ultimately make a meaningful effort to resolve the situation.

Hotel I had the…read moreopportunity to recently stay at the Renaissance Orlando at SeaWorld for a corporate event. The place is located directly across the street from Seaworld in Orlando. It is a massive box structure with a fabulously large atrium in the middle. The check-in process was handled quickly and efficiently. This is a Marriott property and the staff were all very friendly and well trained. The elevators face in to the atrium, and it is a scenic view as you had up to your floor. Elevators were quick and there seemed like there was always one waiting on the first floor. Rooms were decently sized and well appointed - very clean and comfortable. Bed was in good shape and got the job done. Hot water was hot and made the shower experience fine. After putting my stuff up, I took a stroll around the place - most of the amenities appear to be in the first floor: bars / restaurants and shops. There is an outdoor pool area and a fitness center somewhere in there as well. To be fair, I did not spend a whole lot of time in the room as I had quite a few activities to attend to. Would I stay here again? I would if the cost of the room was workable. It also depends on where you are planning on going in Orlando. Overall a very good stay and I would recommend staying here if you have the option. Parking is self-park and cost is about $44 / day, or valet park for considerably more at $56/day

We stayed at the Renaissance Orlando Marriott for one night while attending Megacon, and overall,…read moreit was a mixed experience. The hotel is absolutely beautiful, both outside and inside. The lobby and the plants were stunning and really impressed us. We had a hiccup with our room type initially, but the staff upgraded us without issue. The room itself was clean, spacious, and on the 4th floor with a semi-pool view, which was lovely. However, there were some notable issues. The parking system didn't work correctly, and it seemed like this was an ongoing problem. The hot tubs were disappointing, one was closed, and the other had no jets and was the grossest hot tub we've ever seen. That was a major letdown. Checking out was a bit chaotic too, as there were people cutting lines and no one explained that there were multiple checkout lines, so my husband ended up waiting unnecessarily. On the bright side, the hotel restaurant was delicious, and our server there was great. The wine bar, unfortunately, was another story, the service was slow, and we ended up giving up and returning to our room. We enjoyed the upgrade and the overall ambiance of the hotel, so we would recommend it if the price is right, but definitely keep these issues in mind. I chose to give them 4 stars, instead of 3, due to the upgrade, and two free drink vouchers with check-in.

There are so many different tapas to order from, and the best way to try as many as you can is to order the "Get 'Em All" that's offered at their Happy Hour. You can get like 9 different tapas for around $20. My absolute favorite item is the Cajun Chicken Egg Roll. It's stuffed with a good amount of chicken, goat cheese, some veggies, and is served with this not-so-tangy mustard sauce. For all the food that was provided, this is such a good deal. There are a ton of other menu items available, that the "Get 'Em All" doesn't cover, that are also definitely worth trying. The entire place is eclectic and oozing with art and creativity. The walls are covered in paintings and other art pieces made by local artists. Each artwork can be purchased to support them. Sometimes there is a live artist working on their art. You can support them directly by purchasing some prints or any completed pieces they have on display.
