Disney/ Universal Trip

When we first got to Orlando we had a lot of trouble finding the hotel. They changed their name from Baymont to The Floridian. The lobby of the hotel is nice. They have a nice pool. But the rooms are bad quality. It looks like a motel. They really need to remodel. They only have a shuttle to Universal it leaves early at 8:15 (also around 11)and picks you up around 6:30. They need more shuttle times. They should also offer a shuttle to Disney. The continental breakfast was good. The wireless internet seemed to not work while I was there.

My experience...

It was an awful experience, first because when i arrived, the girl at the lobby told me that I hadn't any reservation. She never wanted to see my printed confirmation (already paid), and her way to address to me and attitude weren't helpfull. After 20 min trying to understand what was the problem, i asked for a manager and this last girl (blonde) it was who resolved so disagreeable situation. After receive the room, i received a room for smokers, and i had asked non-smoker room. Again I had to beg (literally) for changing the room asigned. I doubt come back again bye.

Average hotel

The hotel was basic, the air conditioning didn't work that well and the website advertised the hotel having a shuttle service to universal studios, which was not the case!!!! The hotel next door has a shuttle which we had to take. I will not be using this hotel and would not recommend it.

OK Value for the price

The hotel was clean and the staff was pleasant. The bed was not comfortable at all and the hallway was a little noisy.

Excellent choice for the money

The Baymont Inn and Suites is a great value. Close to Universal, easy access to shops and other area attractions. The staff was friedly, helpful and courtious. The room (I was upgraded to a Suite)was clean and comfortable. I'll stay there again when I come back during my annual pass trips to Universal.

There are many shops close by to pick up items you may have left at home. Walgreen's is just around the corner on International Drive.

baymont inn

it was an ok hotel, one of the beds was broken and leaning to the left, not comfortable at all, and we could hear people walking around above us all night long, either there was a 500lb person up there walking on their heels or the rooms are not ver insulated. It WAS NOT close to old town, which i was told it was when we booked it... but it is within walking distance to alot of nice resturants and attractions. we only stayed one night and went to disney early the next morning.
