| A few hotel tips while staying in on Orlando, Florida |
| 01.03.05 (11:42 pm) [edit] |
 Ritz Carlton figures in the top bracket of luxurious Orlando hotels. It is located in a huge site with a golf course. The spa is great. It has heated lap pool, whirlpool, sauna and an open balcony facing the golf course. The staff is pretty good. The pool located outside the spa is also good.
If you are staying in Disneyworld and looking for an economy class hotel, try out Residence Inn Orlando Sea World/International Center. The suite costs $ 120! It is well appointed too. The staff deserves kudos for the service it renders. The beds are comfortable and the rooms are spick and span. It offers a free view of the Disney fireworks in the night. The pool is great. Highly recommended once again.
When staying at Crowne Plaza Hotel Orlando Universal take a room with a king size bed. It’s simply superb. There is free transport form here to Disney World, Universal Studios and other top spots of Orlando. Staff on the whole is helpful. The location is great and it is only 10 minutes away from International Drive. The in-room safe if free!
