The room smells a little musty and it is clear that the interior is very old For this area being such a tourist hub, it shoukd be more modern and better keptIt is clean and the staff is friendly but not overly helpful

I am staying for work so really just need a place to sleep The bed is firm and the pillows are garbage I’m glad I brought my own

We have stayed at a number of Embassy Suites this year due to business and personal travel This was our first stay at the ES Downtown Orlando and it was by far the cleanest and best organized in our experience with the chain My wife and I were so impressed that we had to find the Housekeeping Manager, Mr

Kevin Robinson and tell him personally how much we were enjoying our stay in our outstandingly clean room We can be persnickety about cleanliness and we were not disappointed The breakfast buffet was also outstanding The young lady that served as the cook to order chef was the best (sorry I did not get her name) The best stay ever!!! Thanks Mr Robinson and staff The leadership team at this facility is doing a bang up job!

The communication from staff prior to check-in was great, both via text and phone Check-in was a breeze and room was well equipped Unfortunately a water-main/pipe burst on the day of our last night’s stay (3 night) and it went completely down hill from there

Downstairs/first floor was completely soaked (staff worked quickly to mitigate and mop up water) A/C in the hotel and room did not work/was out from mid afternoon Saturday until we checked out There was zero proactive communication and a complete lack of apologetic or sympathetic interaction from point forward When asking the desk at 130am the response was an apprehensive, “sometime in the middle of the night”Checking out at 11am and still nothingConsidering Saturday night was the most expensive of the three night stay, I would expect better This will be our last stay at this Embassy/Hilton hotel

C Rule

Pros:- close to a lot of things downtown- free breakfast was alright (I didn’t have the time for the cooked food, it looked pretty good though)- the small pool is good and wasn’t busy during the week, it isn’t heated though so you might not be able to use it- the gym looked really good with pull-up bars and dumbbells and stuff didn’t have the chance to try itCons:- really uncomfortable beds with hard as a rock mattresses

I have a bad back and one night I tried sleep on the (marginally more comfortable) sofa bed because of how terrible the actual bed was- paper thin walls I could hear everything my neighbour said or did, and all of the cars in the street, of which there are many even at 1am- pool is tiny, you can’t actually swim in it at allOverall wouldn’t recommend if you like sleep But if you aren’t time limited and want somewhere downtown, it’s not a terrible place to stay

My dauthers and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay here It was by far, one of our best hotel experiences in Orlando From check-in, to surprising my girls with the delicious breakfast in the morning

Our room was so nice, and the beds delightfully comfortable Located so close to downtown, it gave us a taste of downtown living 10/10 would recommend, and we will definitely come back again

Desiree Neal

Old property with renovations and soft touches of contemporary decor It’s downtown inner city so with that being said comes homelessness and stranglers… doesn’t bother me but might bother you Location is immediately off I-4 for a bit of convenience

Valet or self parking($18) and has a shuttle service that takes you 3mi of the property Staff interaction was pleasant and informative My stay came with breakfast I was supposed to have a dbl Queen however the 3rd party sent it to the hotel as king room The front desk employee was able to make a reasonable adjustment and get me a room with a pull out sofa, Thanks front desk! The room was fresh but did have smudges on the wall, sofa cushions were worn and slouchy, the packaged cups placed with the ice bin had holes in the plastic and were torn 🤔 which made me question safety/cleanliness/sanitary but I’m just go pray about it and drink the alcohol hoping that kills whatever may have got in the cup

Cinda Clark

Room was nice but

negatives were coffee machine was broken, shower water temp was either scalding hot or cold no in-between, the lighting was terrible no light near door where only full length mirror is One of the lamps had an light bulb out that I pulled out so room service would know The mini fridge worked but the exterior so hot that i left cabinet door it was housed in open to try to cool it off Kept the drinks cold though The restaurant is NOT open for lunch even though advertised it is Positives was beds comfortable, rooms was clean and was cold

Great hotel! So easy to choose your room & get a digital key Staff is wonderful and everyone is friendly Someone had commented the rooms needed to be updated but mine was perfect

Great kitchen/Living room and separate bedroom Highly recommend this hotel as it is very conveniently located as well Will definitely stay here again

Selepri Amachree

Love the “comfort” factor in this place!! My favorite hotel was booked and I needed a reservation for work Homewood Suites popped into my search for the area and they had vacancy within the time parameters I needed I was kinda forced into booking here

BUT I’M NOT DISAPPOINTED! that’s the pleasant surprise that, so far, has turned into a pleasant experience ❤️ By the way, this place offers a cool soup, salad, and beer/wine social event every night around 5pm!!!👊😎👌

Anna-Marie Mitchell

This time around I was here for 5 weeks Furniture is getting worn down Bed is the old coil style

Weekday housekeeping crew did ok The weekend crew did great! They would wash my dishes (1 -2 items) Also scolded lap blanket and put awayThe breakfast crew is not professional Standing out in the breakfast area talking on cell phones oblivious to guests around Guest had to walk around her (This happened several days) Food not being ready on time, and supplies not stockedThe only other issue – ants in bathroom and bathroom sink area They treated 4 times first 2 weeks with no improvement Friends staying in other rooms with the same issueWould I stay here again yes, close to work and only place in area with kitchens

My family and I recently stayed for 4 nights and it was a great experience The hotel exceeded our expectations The restaurants are fantastic, including having a really amazing magician perform at our table during dinner one night

The arcade was nice too for an hour one morning when weather delayed our walk to Universal Studios We had 2 adjoining rooms and they were spacious and very nice Plenty of room for 6 people to stay and spread out our stuff as well as hang out in the morning while eating breakfast in our room The staff was courteous and helpful too I highly recommend the Hard Rock when visiting Universal Studios The location can’t be beat, as it was an easy walk to everything nearby and the water taxi is super easy to hop on too

Carrol Ostendorf

A good experience My family enjoyed staying at this hotel We had a good time at the pool

They play music in the day and a movie at night at the pool It was funThe convenience store in the hotel had the things we needed and good food to go Our room was a good size and gave our family of four plenty of space We had the room with the pullout couch, and we had lots of space – even with the couch pulled out The pullout couch was surprisingly comfortable compared to other pulloutsThe hotel is so close to both theme parks – Universal and Islands of Adventure – that we think it was worth the money we paid It was an easy walk, with its own security entrance, so we were able to easily go back and forth between the parks and our roomHousekeeping was a bit strange One night they knocked on our door at 10:26 PM to offer turn down service They woke us up The turn down service was offered after 9:30 most nights – this is really late for most familiesTh bellmen, concierge, and valet were wonderful The man who checked us in did a great job, and was very welcomingThe hotel roof and exterior was under construction and the restaurant downstairs was also under construction and not open I wish they had told us this before our visit This is honestly the third vacation we have been on with active construction that we were not told about ahead of time It was a very upsetting surprise when we first arrived, because we thought it was going to be as bad as some of our recent experiences You could hear it during the day, but it wasn’t too bad on the sixth floor

annette schumers

We had lights out in the room ,I ran into the maintenance people by chance, we got back to room later and they were taken care of The Team at the front desk was great The Kitchen food was great, the greeting people remembered us, each time that was a nice touch

Having the room keys into guitar picks at checkout was so fun The hotel needs a bit of a refresh a bit tired Access to the parks is great The water taxi is efficientLots of security checks

Kaguria Kitsune

For an affordable option near theme parks it’s not terrible We were able to comfortably fit 5 people Breakfast is standard for general hospitality needs, could add hot chocolate mix for kids in the morning

The pool and Jacuzzi close at 9pm which, for being in Orlando when theme parks close at 9, isn’t really worth the listing of amenities if people can’t use them after long days in the parks

Tabitha Sandberg

The check in was easy and quick The staff were friendly We booked the king bed room which was pretty roomy

The room was clean and had a good AC unit The pillows were lacking in support and the bed kind of hard Other than that, still an okay place to sleep for a night or 2 The breakfast is standard hotel continental The top 2 downfalls is that you can hear through the walls and our tub didn’t drain well so it filled while showering

steph edwards

Hotel was not very nice at all It was decent, but the rooms are very old and AC units are loud and smelly You could definitely find similar hotels that are much nicer than this location

The two bed rooms were okay, but I would not recommend the King bedrooms Overall these rooms are very crusty, crunchy, and do not provide a relaxing environment I found a small spider crawling in between my bed sheets and another on the wall The pool is okay, but there did seem to be a homeless person hanging out in it The pool area itself is also very dirty, there seemed to be left over chicken wing bones just sitting there for days The couch was very dirty and had mystery hair on it The breakfast area was nice The TV’s were nice and big Overall, the hotel was decent enough and could be a lot worse, but if your’re looking for a nicer vacation stay, I would not recommend

Pleasant STAFF made this hotel extra special! Nice pillow assortment, bed comfortable but squeaks on movement from bed frame rubbing Room darkening shades Nice layout, comfortable size room, had king size bed

Pool is out door with lounge chairs and a cabana corner Shuttle took me to shop in the town Large open outsourced restaurant and bar across from lobby also has outdoor seating Some nights live entertainment Food tasty Watch you bar bill They need to train bartenders as to standard prices of drinks Order the same drink on different days and it was priced $7, $8 and $9 for the same size, same drink I brought to their attention and they credited back difference Enjoyed seeing the wildlife outside the hotel Definitely would stay again if in area

Myrlande Emmanuel

What a beautiful hotel to stay in I spent just one night there for a friend’s wedding that was being held right on the premises and it is an absolutely beautiful place The staff was friendly, the rooms were huge, and the wedding was amazing

The breakfast was delicious before heading back home The customer service of the kitchen staff was fantastic I will definitely be back the next time I’m in the area

Bobbie Parris

Never again! Took shower first night smelled sulphur coming from shower water We could smell the same thing brushing teeth My hair looked dirty all day and had heaviness to it

Came back to room second day and room was not cleaned We were told have to request it So we requested for it to be cleaned for the next day The sink underneath was filthy when we checked in and after the room was cleaned, it still was! Raised toilet lid it was filthy when we got here filthy after cleaning! This is a Hilton and it should never have bad water or nasty bathrooms!Need to stay in area 2 more nights and will do so else where

A bit dated, but a good hotel The rooms were clean, the staff was nice, and the breakfast was tasty When our toilet clogged, a staff member came up right away to fix it

Unlike many of the other hotels in the area, which have a minimum check-in age of 21, this one has a minimum age of 18 This, coupled with its proximity to universal and decent prices, makes it a good choice for any younger travellers looking to visit

Ali A

If the hotel was a 2 stars hotel ( hotels categories) I would give them probably 5 or 4 starsBut, you pay a premium price for a cheap hotelIndeed, It has all things and many amenities required for a 3stars hotel class, however all in the lowest quality/quantity

A gym, but very old and with outdated equipments, half not working at all!Breakfast, yes, very simple and limitedThe worst among all is their rooms, especially restroom and showers A cracked sink with very slow drain , the tub was damaged, and toilet flush was horrible The tiles were dirty tooInside the room, Pillows were not good at all, and carpet was dirtyPositive points?A bus service to the resortThe room air conditioner was good

Faisal Ghadially

The Best Western lives up to its reputation for a low cost hotel We did not expect much However, the elevators were not working and you expect that to work at a minimum

We had to lug our bags down the stairs No assistance was offered

They had fruit, cereal, eggs, variety of breads, waffles, yogurt and juicesThe room was what you would expect, small fridge and microwave Everything worked as expectedI was very pleased overall

Absolute nightmare My mother came down to visit recently and paid over $700 for a room for 3 days Their system was down, so we had to be escorted to the room in order to get in each time we had to leave the room, even just to get ice down the hall

EVERY SINGLE TIME Not only that, but apparently the pool closes at 10pm, but advertises 11pm I guess it’s perfectly fine according to them to let kids run around the lobby and pool, screaming, while their parents get drunk in the lobby at 10pm, though I used to come here over 5 years ago and it was great, but now it’s awful Rude staff; terrible service Would NOT recommend staying here unless you wanna pay an absurd amount for a mess

The staff was wonderful and tried to be accommodating which is amazing considering how under staffed they were The breakfast buffet was excellent We did encounter a few issues

No Handicapp stalls in the ladies room on the main floor, air conditioner in our room did not work It was replaced with a new unit a few hours later; clogged toilet, they had to use a Plunger to fix (40 minutes later), I booked my room 6 weeks in advanced with a request for a king room with roll in shower which was confirmed Upon my arrival was informed there were given out earlier Why bother booking special requests if they are not honored We did have a walk in shower, no hand held shower head shower head and no bench to sit on Very painful trying to stand to shower Very disappointing

Jessica Glancy

I stayed here for a conference June of 2022 The staff at the front desk was super helpful and friendly My room was clean and comfortable

My only complaint is about the air conditioner in my room It ran constantly, and it was loud To get it to turn off I would turn the temperature up on the thermostat This shut the unit off, but it wouldn’t be long until the room would get humid and the air needed to be turned on The overall stay was great and I would stay here again

Alycia Alvarez

Always a great stay We’ve stayed twice with our baseball team The hotel is clean, the staff is friendly & the beds are comfortable

The location isn’t my favorite & I always have trouble with the gate in the parking lot but I will continue to stay here when we’re playing ball in Orlando The kids always enjoy the pool & hot tub & there is a restaurant & bar right down stairs, which is super convient

Other than some mold/mildew in the bathroom, the room was wonderful I sleep in the day and it was quiet and the curtains kept the room dark The breakfasts were outstanding, especially the made to order omelets

I loved the restaurant in the lobby I ate there all 4 days and all the meals were tasty I would definitely go again and recommend the place to friends and family

Lori Leigh O’Gara

Customer service was great, for the most part, the hotel was not It was the loudest hotel I have ever stayed in You could hear every little thing through the walls and doors

Children were running all over the place with no one saying a word to them The bed was very uncomfortable The pillows were flat The complementary toiletries were cheap The “balcony” that I was looking forward to sitting on to drink coffee and look at the lake in the morning was a 12 in ledge with a railing and a slide open window The breakfast was mediocre, the cooks doing the made to order omelets were rude The staff cleaning up the dinning area were very polite The cleaning staff were attentive The front desk staff were great The parking was ok, but several large trucks and one SUV took two and three parking spots so it was difficult to find a place to park I tend to stick with Hilton hotels because they are normally a cut above and I am rarely disappointed This time, I was wondering if I had actually booked a Hilton property or a look a like Come on, Hilton, you can do better than this

Monica Lopez

We always stay at the embassy suites and this one was probably the worst one we’ve stay at Employees were great and nice but the hotel was very out dated, our room was not clean The A/C did not work, it said it was on 65 but felt like 75

It was very humid in our room When it rained the carpet in the room by the window got soaking wet My son slept on the pull out bed and the bed was VERY uncomfortable, no padding what so ever He said he just felt the springs in the bed The staffed fixed the bed by bringing a pillow topper but that should not be necessary The buffet breakfast was good but I wish the happy hour was at least til 8 We always missed the happy hour because we were at the baseball fields for my son’s tournament At the end of our week long stay there was a huge group of people that came to stay and they took up every single seat in the lobby during breakfast time Nobody else had a place to sit during breakfast, they were not even eating so I found that annoying that we had to sit without a table to eat our breakfast Overall very disappointed in this embassy stay

I will definitely stay at this hotel again! To begin with, it is absolutely beautiful, very clean, and modern! Every staff member I interacted with was just as nice as can be! They provide a very generous hot breakfast, and there was even a staff member there helping everyone make their waffles 🙂 Most places these days have hardly anyone around to help with anything, so this was such a pleasant surprise! The price for the room was very reasonable as well I hope to stay here again very soon!

Scott LaGraize

Don’t forget to use ʜoᴛᴇʟʙᴏʟʟʏᴄᴏm when booking any stay They compare thousands of hotel sites and usually will have rooms much cheaper than others! You’re welcome :)! This resort is one of the best in this area

I’ve been coming here for a long time If you choose this place you definitely will love it I’m sure!My family and I have been staying at this location numerous of times since grand opening! The hotel and staff never disappoint! The cleanliness and amenities are superb! This recent stay our sink was clogged upon arrival and Shawn addressed and fixed the issue swiftly! Breakfast is always good and the grounds are well kept All staff that we came in contact with were nice and helpful! This is home away from home for us!!!

Christa O.

I was in charge of planning a trip for my coworkers and let me say from the staff to amenities we had a GREAT stay at this hotel! The room kept getting warm a little but you just have to figure out the ac system in the room The two guest representatives made me feel like a person and not a “guest” and I just loved their energy! They have such cute lobby and outside area to chill and enjoy your stay I loved how the room felt more like a suite with a couch,Closet (With a FULLL BODY MIRROR) and a microwave and a fridge

Let’s not forget the breakfast and presentation!!(need a little more season on the eggs but I won’t complain) Listen I’ve visited many hotels and this one has been definitely added to my listThank you so much for the comfortable stay 😊

The key points are that the room was clean, service was great, hotel was quiet, and the bathroom has a fan We have been to so many hotels, and none of them had fans except for this one If you want more a more detailed review keep reading

There is complimentary breakfast that ends at 10 There was a waffle maker, pancake maker that was broken during our stay, bread with a toast maker thing, muffins, danishes, bagels, cereal, sausage and eggs They also had beverage machines that were open all day, including coffee, hot water, orange juice, and apple juice The room was clean There was a fridge and microwave in the room There is also a pond outside very close to the hotel, near the pool I think the locals feed the turtles or something because when we stepped onto the deck all the turtles swam toward us The service was great We needed to print out something, and a person at the front desk did it for us very quickly The breakfast ran out of napkins, and we asked an employee and they replaced them immediately

Clean hotel The breakfast was good but didn’t have enough coming out for the amount of people that were there I will say that the gal working was doing a great job attempting to keep up with the traffic! Lillie, the overnight front desk attendant, was fabulous

She was sweet, helpful, and attentive to us – and the other guests we witnessed her interacting with Will not hesitate to stay again!

This Inn was very cozy and clean The entrance is kind of tucked away if you’re coming from Lake Eola next door We were greeted with smiles and the lobby smelled so clean

Coffee and infused water available right there Our room was a single queen with a balcony Room was a little small, but none the less comfortable Bed is nice and soft Bathroom was clean and the walk in shower was spacious Balcony is shared, separated by white curtains The view outside wasn’t amazing, but for just sitting outside enjoying the weather it’s nice My only complaint was that our TV wasn’t workingThere is an open balcony in the main hallway in the 2nd floor with comfy chairs Nice area to just catch some sun and relax At night they have soft lights around the areaOverall it’s a nice stay and would recommend itAlso sits above a bar!

Probably one of my favorite hotels I’ve ever stayed in Super clean Staff was really friendly

We had the King balcony room it was very spacious and the bathroom was to die for 😍 The bathtub was HUGE! Also in a great location right next to a beautiful park and in walking distance to a ton of good food Next time I’m in Orlando I’ll definitely be staying here

Updated from my last review

the place is even better now that it’s an apartment complex and not a hotel anymore It’s even cleaner and the staff is still great I only have 2 issues 1 is the light in the living room area is not bright enough to illuminate the whole room so I need to by a lamp for my bed area and 2 I can’t cook bacon or pretty much anything with out the fire detector going off because it’s too close to my kitchen and there isn’t any proper ventilation to let he smoke out and leaving windows open don’t help either and leaving my door open exposes my room and my belongings Other than that I’m good here

Fatima O’riana

I have been here a month so far and it has been wonderful I moved here from up North and checked in a day after check-in and there was no late check-in fee Raquel who works at the front desk has been amazing in helping us transition

The room looks exactly as advertised It is quiet and people generally mind their business around here It’s very family oriented and my kids love to go to the front desk for candy I really don’t have anything bad to say

Maya My

My overall stay was good The first day there, I experienced an issue at check-in which was quickly corrected by management I appreciate Management’s promptness to correct the issues

Breakfast is a free buffet with an array of good, hot, tasty options The room is small but the water is hot and the bed and pillows were very comfortable The AC is very loud and made the stay less desirable The refrigerator was also loud and the rooms heat would not exceed 78 on the thermostat I’m anemic and Orlando experienced some cold weather when I visited but I could only heat the room up to 78, which felt more like heat of 68 Some of the staff were pleasant but others seemed like they didn’t want to be there A lot of the staff did not speak English; especially housekeeping, which made it a bit more difficult to explain what was needed for the room All in all, we had a nice stay

James Long

The location is great and only a 30 minute walk to Universal Studios The staff is very friendly and they go out of their way to help you The rooms are perfect for 2 people and I noticed nothing in the room that was out of place

The AC is cold and I promise you in this heat it great! Huge breakfast in the morning and just great people I’m sure if you wanted to nip pick you could, but the price is spot on and worth it They treat you like family I can’t wait to go back!

The welcoming front desk agents (Franklin), the F&B staff (Marco), and the great Sales & Events department (Ashley) made our meetings and over night stay so pleasurable! The staff was so professional and genuinely warm and friendly The hotel was clean and the food for our 2 day catered meeting was absolutely delicious! All my coworkers raved about the food and service! Kudos to you all!

Gina F.

I recently stayed here due to an unexpected trip because of a family emergency The staff here at the hotel could not be any more welcoming, hospitable, and kind during my visit Front desk staff (standout Franklin), Samuel, housekeeper Maria, and Director of Sales, Jim Donovan! Not to forget the staff at The Coffee Bean and Bartender in the restaurant

The hotel is in a great location with easy access to restaurants, mall, grocery stores, gas stations It has it all! If you chose this hotel you will not be disappointed

Amanda Lyn

Rude staff, dirty rooms, rotting bathroom wall Peeling paint, rust on the make up mirror, as well as the walls somehow, and rusty shower head The sink was the slowest drain I have ever seen

Room so dusty my husband had an asthma attack We checked out within 8 hours The manager was no where to be found to speak to even when we called back later in the day Would have loved a refund for that first night that we only stayed 8 hours for but I’m just glad we got out and didn’t get charged for the other nights we were supposed to stay Oh and if you enjoy privacy when you use a bathroom definitely don’t stay here because the bathroom doors are sliding barn doors with huge gaps! Absolutely awful hotel I went by the good reviews and was so disappointedEDIT: director of rooms Sal Perez reached out to me and offered a partial refund and seemed responsive to training the staff Thanks sal for working to make this right!

We had a great experience as usual We stayed at a Universal – View room in a high floor and it’s a great view, specially at night You can even see the fireworks from your room! It’s so worth it to book a room like this

Their beds and pillow are super comfy The room was very clean, and the staff is super nice and attentive, they are on top of your needs and help you right away Housekeeping service is available but you have to reserve a day prior to get your room cleaned, so keep that in mind when you stay to plan accordinglyThe Lobby area is very nice and very convenient with all the stores they have where you can basically find anything you wantThe closeness to Universal is incredibly convenient and amazing! You should also be aware that parking for your car costs around 26$ per night and it’s a little more expensive if you use valet parkingI really really enjoyed my stay and I have nothing negative to say from my experience this opportunity I stayed there

I was impressed for it being only a 3 star, the service and my experience was definitely more than 3 stars The sunshine Cafe for breakfast has delicious food at the buffet No its not complimentary and that’s because the quality is much better and worth the cost, Vinh and Jim were very considerate and friendly waiters, they even let us take fruit and coffee to go

The check for the Cafe and American Grill & bar can be charged to your room which is super convenient The bar even let me take the wine glass upstairs to my room They have a shuttle to Universal parks, we also walked to the park too since it wasn’t too far (15min), walking avoided the large crowds with the round security section too The pool is open later than other hotels I’ve been too and really big along with their jacuzzi with a tiny water park for the kids We opted to have room service daily, it was nice to be given that option We also got a cookie from the front desk when checking in The food at the American Grill is great quality, I had the steak and veggies They have an ice cream shop inside as well Great experience, great service, I highly recommend and can’t wait til my next stay

Aqua Hold

Friendly staff Cool temp and clean room

Great amenities Beautiful, relaxing scenery and grounds For tasty dining I’d strongly suggest their on-site restaurant “American Grill”I did not partake in using the pool during the day Where as, from the view of the area from my roomthere was not much shaded area or umbrellas for my useHowever for the most part, my stay with Double Tree was very comfortable and pleasant

For 3 days in a row, we requested housekeeping to clean our room, refresh our towels, and restock our coffee Today, I even requested it twice It never happened

They are nice enough, but nothing ever gets done However, the a/c works, and the breakfast bar is tolerable Their website says they have laundryfacilities Kind of The dryer is broken This is not worth the money I can’t recommend this hotel

John Hagler

We were there 3 weeks When we pulled up to the front we were met by several people smoking at the front door, to include employees Check in was ok, the front desk acted like I was a inconvenience

The lobby and downstairs was dirty, the elevator was dirty, and our room was wasn’t that clean either The following morning there were cleaning ladies playing on the phones or talking to their baby daddy, not doing their job There was also other employees walking around, not in uniform, the only way I knew they worked there was because they were doing something like half-heartedly wiping the front door This was by far the worst IHG Hotel I’ve stay at I was very disappointed and won’t be staying there again
