Comfortable Room and Nice Staff

Just stayed here for a one night stop-over. The hotel is in a convenient location and was clean and comfortable. The first room I was assigned was next to the lobby and vending machines. It was a bit noisy with the vending machines on the other side of the wall by the bed. I spoke to the reception and they were very responsive in relocating me to a quieter room.

Great location to visit both Disney and Universal. A bit closer to Universal, but very close to the Interstate and a short drive to the Magic Kingdom.

Unbeatable location for the price

The room is clean and great breakfast. However, at nights I felt so noisy due to the neighbor room.

Very nice hotel at a good price

Rooom and bath were clean and comfortable. Plenty of towels. A/C was a little noisy. Easy access to I-4 (depending on traffic and time of day. No refridgerator in room. They have a continental breakfast but I didn't try it. Small pool. Hotel is on a quite street between Universal Drive and International Drive. But it's easy to miss off Sand Lake drive. The easiest access is to go north off Sand Lake on Universal or International and turn on Carrier St, then come down Canada Rd from the north. Overall a very nice hotel and location for a good price.

When leaving the hotel for the day do not try and go out onto Sand Lake Road. Instead go north on Canada and turn left to International Drive or right to Universal Drive. Both have lights where you can more easily get headed where you want to go.

Very good experience.

I spent most of the time while I was there on my laptop (the Wi-Fi was very good) and listening to the clock radio (104.1 FM). I would've liked the breakfast to have some eggs, bacon, and sausage. But it was still good. The room was very comfortable and the service was good.

Baymont Inn

It was hard to find the lobby, there was no sign. Staff was friendly and receptive. Room was big, comfortable. There was a kitchenette and a sitting area. Good value. Close to major attractions.

Clean and Quiet

It was everything I needed for a quick getaway. Clean, friendly staff, easy access to pulic transportation and close to quite a few places to eat. The staff was very friendly and helpful with directions as well as places to eat nearby. Had a small problem with the computer in the lobby when it wouldn't print. But it was quickly taken care of. Rooms were clean and spacious enough even for a hotel that's not new. You can tell the wear on the hotel but it appeared maintence is kept up. So nice to find a hotel where smokers are still allowed. Defnitely will stay there again for future trips

Sleep Hotel

if you plan on not spending that much time in the hotel, this would be a great hotel for your money. So pretty much this is just a hotel for slepping and getting dressed.
