Holiday Inn & Suites Orlando SW - Celebration Area, an IHG Hotel

Friendly stuff, clean room when entrance first time, safe inside the hotel, varied breakfast daily

We used booking.com to secure our reservation. This hotel is centrally located. If you're going to Disney, Universal, visiting family, or going to the Mecum Auto Auction, as we were, it's a solid choice. The lobby was bustling when we arrived on a Friday night about 10 pm. The room on the second floor was as quiet as could be. The room is slightly dated. They still have carpet in the room. Alot of updated hotels have moved to LVP flooring. Our room had two queen beds. The room has all the amenities one would need, including small refrigerator, microwave oven, keurig coffee machine with coffee and tea pods, hairdryer, and dispensers at sink and in bathtub with Dove products. The bathroom was spacious, but there isn't a separate toilet and shower area from the vanity. The room appeared to be clean and orderly. There was a small balcony with two chairs, although we didn't go outside. It overlooked the parking area in the rear of the property and it was raining. The hotel offered a very nice large pool and a small workout room, neither of which we had time for because we were headed to the Mecum auction for the day. As far as proximity to the auction, there was still about a 1/2 hour drive to get there using toll roads, but probably would have been longer if we had used 192 with lights at major intersections. The hotel has a very nice breakfast buffet with lots of options, including make your own yogurt parfait, fresh fruit, scrambled eggs, two kinds of sausage, bacon, pancakes, grits, oatmeal, several cereals, several danish and croissant options, toast and bagels, as well as coffee, tea, hot chocolate, and juice. As of January 2025, the price was $16.99, but due to the room/rate we stayed in, breakfast was included. Saved us time getting to the auction. Although we didn't make use of the Disney parks, this is designated as a Good Neighbor hotel and has shuttle service to the theme parks. That may be of use to some.

really, everything was very nice for the price. the pool and hot tub were nice and clean, the room was comfortable, the bathrooms were a good size and clean as well. the TV was large and had a good selection of things to watch. the staff was really nice and seemed genuinely interested in making sure we were having a good stay. the laundry facility was reasonably priced and very convenient (nobody wants to haul soaked things from the pool in their luggage) - be sure to clean the lint trap though. we could see fireworks from our room which was a nice surprise. overall I'm planning on staying there again next time I'm in Orlando

The staff was very friendly. The first room we got was great except the balcony door wouldn't open. They very graciously put us in another room that was way better than the first because the balcony was a lot bigger. The beds were unbelievably comfortable, too. We loved how close we were to different attractions. Everything was in walking distance.

comfortable beds. Friendly staff. Zearra at check in was very friendly and helpful. Adriana at the breakfast buffet was very friendly and helpful. The Breakfast was one of the best I have ever had. It was just fabulous. Handicap parking was a problem. The second night I had to park near the second building. There was no parking in the front lot. Location was great. Many restaurants near by.A good experience overall!!!! Thank you.
