I recently stayed at this hotel, and while it had some great features, there were a few drawbacks. The rooms were spacious and clean, providing a comfortable stay, but I found the external section to be quite loud and less private. The restaurant on-site was convenient, but I wouldn't recommend it for breakfast; better options are available nearby. Overall, it's in a good location for accessing the parks, and the staff was mostly helpful.

My stay at the Holiday Inn Resort Orlando-Lake Buena Vista was mostly enjoyable. The rooms were spacious, clean, and well-equipped, making it feel like a comfortable home away from home. However, the service left something to be desired, particularly with the delay in getting towels. The location is fantastic, close to Disney and Universal, which is a huge plus for families. On the dining front, while the options at Applebee's were fine, they didn't quite impress me overall.

On the downside, the dining experience wasn't great, particularly the breakfast, which looked like it had been forgotten.
