Holiday Inn International Reviews

Lovely clean spacious room with regular fresh, clean towels and cleaning, this hotel was a lovely athmosphere to return to after visiting disneyland, the staff were friendly and accommodating and went out their way to assist whenever required.

The only downsides of this hotel was the facilities for children were poor, my children 8 & 6 were bored and nighttime entertainment was missing also!

Overall i would return and recommend but only if the kids are teens and above but this hotel matched our expectations and more!

We will return when the kids are older!

Great location on international drive, just the hotel was a bit dated and it shows but never mind that this was just a place to sleep and occasionally sunbath, lets not forget what most people come for the theme parks and water parks. All in all service and staff were very good, food is ok but thought it was a bit expensive but went out most of the time so not the end of the world.

Like your typical Holiday Inn, very large, clean and staff were friendly and helpful. It's in a great location, just across the road from Universal Studios.

Average hotel, nothing special, if i go again i will spend more money on accomodation

my family stay here every year,we find everything very good from the staff who are very helpful and friendly ,hotel facilities,the rooms in the tower block are big and comfy. The location is in the middle of international drive and has great bus service... i would recomend this hotel to all.

Ok so this hotel isn't the most modern hotel on i.drive but we found it was great for our needs .We have stayed here twice now mainly because the children loved it .The staff were very helpful and they seem to be improving hotel every year .The food available was very good especially compared to some places on i.drive .

The hotel is also ideal if you don't drive as it is central to lots of places .

This was the second time I had stayed here and this time it was in one of the tower rooms. The room was quite dark with only one small window, the bathroom had certainly seen better days and the whole room felt very dated. I asked if we could move but there was no availability which I found strange in September.

I would not stay here again as there are better properties in a similar location for less money.

Situated in an ideal location near the airport and easy to find. The hotel is large with spacious clean rooms. The food is excellent and the hotel facilities are great that include a gym & swimming pool.

Weve just come back from Holiday Inn in July.And i must say what a weird hotel. The main tower is like a prison, hollow in the middle! The hotel is huge, it has the tower and motel style rooms. We were put in motel room. It was horrible, dark, musty and it overlooked the stairs. So we asked to be moved and they put us in tower. Better room, big but dark. So if you go there the tower block or rooms overlooking pool( although not many overlook pool due to trees)are better. Food in hotel was ok, only ate there once, dont go to Florida to stay in hotel anyway. Pool was ok but looked so small compaired to travel book. Weve been to Florida six times and we love it, we had a great time but if you want a basic hotel in a great location then its for you, dont pay book price its not worth it. We went through My Travel.co.uk, the're cheaper than travel agents.They wanted three grand no way its worth that.We think its should be a two star plus not three plus.If you want a great resturant then go to Chillis over road great food!

We have just returned from a two week holiday to Florida staying at the Holiday Inn International Drive. First impressions of the hotel were that it was a little tired and could of done with a lick of paint to freshen things up, we were not in the tower and the room we had was adequate, two big beds, tv, bath, shower, fridge, microwave etc. The location of the hotel was excellent and the staff and service were fantastic. I would recommend having breakfast in the hotel, we thought it was excellent and the staff were always very pleasant and cheerful. If you venture out i'd give the Poderosa a miss and walk a wee bit further to Sizzlers, far superior and cheap as chips!!!!!! Dinners can be as plain or as fancy as you want, grab a pizza and take it back to your hotel room if its been a long day, buffet at Golden Corral or for something a wee bit special i'd really recoommend the Brazillian Steak House (just up from Pizza Hut) the steak is amazing. The parks are brilliant, there is something magical about it all. Don't miss the fireworks at Disney at night well worth staying up for. It is an unforgetable holiday but going at this time of year the heat is unbelievable and the parks are very busy, if this would put you off go out of seaon. Can't wait to go back, amazing.

This hotel is well located on International Drive. It is surrounded with great restaurants, and is near to Wet'n'Wild. You can easily travel up and own International Drive on the cheap I-Ride Trolley. The hotel offers transport once or twice daily to all the Disney, Universal and SeaWorld Theme Parks. The rooms are large, with good facilities. The pool is a great size, and the landscaping of the hotel is lovely. The hotel has a shop and food facilities also. It is a good hotel as a base for a fun holiday.

Lovely clean hotel, friendly and helpful staff and good amenities. Excellent restaurant that has very affordable prices.

staff were very friendly and efficient. housekeeping staff were very willing to provide extra towels etc or anything needed for the room .Good size swimming pool with small rock waterfall, the kids really enjoyed that.Very convenient to universal 5mins by bus and 200yds from Wet n Wild. Also across the street you can find the Ponderosa restaurant which has a great buffet and very reasonably priced for families on a budget.Also the hotel has courtesy bus to Disney ,universal and Seaworld essential for those not taking car hire.The area at reception was a bit stuffy but our room was in the atrium building and was very good Kids also enjoyed the little pools with the coloured fish downstairs.

A Great Base for an action packed Orlando holiday.

Had an excellent time on our first visit as a family to Florida

The Hotel is situated in what i would describe a the middle of International Drive an excellent location whether your driving whilst your there or not it has a friendly laid back atmosphere but we did chnage rooms on initial booking we got given a room close to the pool area but got moved to the Tower which was great maid service every day and the room was spotless also although we hired a room safe there was a lot of stuff left around and nothing was ever touched

Visited most of the parks with the exception of Busch Gardens for some reason - all fantastic with lots too do with all ages catered for our son is a roller coaster freak and although only 7 got on them all and due to the time of the year with the exception of the weekends the parks were pretty quiet we were waiting a max of 15 minutes to get on any of the attractions even at weekends the most we waited was around 1hr - We preferred Universal Studio's parks and you must eat at the Hard Rock and have the ribs they were to die for other eateries of note - The Olive Garden & Chili's also for breakfast try the ponderosa across the street kids ate free cost us around $20 dollars for all three of us including tip

The weather at this time of the year was also Ok being around 70 - 80 degrees every day although the locals complained it was cold

A must see & do is the dolphin swim at Sea Worlds Discovery Cove pretty expensive but worth every single penny another thing we did at Sea World was dine with Shamoo excellent as you get reserved seating for the Believe Show

Also get a two week pass for all on the I-Ride fantastic for getting up & down international drive

One minor thing which we experienced whilst we were there there was a big collge football game "american football" going on the day before we were due to come home and International Drive was basically colsed for the day by the police around 60,000 college kids in town for a couple of days "very intimidating"

Also one other thing you TIP EVERYONE for some reason - now i'm no stingy so and so and when i received good service i always left more than the 18% they expect but some people just don't deserve it but my god they all expect it,

Try the shopping parks for great bargains especially as you get so much to the pound we were getting over $2 dollars at the time i waited to purchase a watch whilst there and saved £200 on what it would have cost in the UK - if your a fisherman like me you must go to the BASS PRO Shop on Intnl Dr ABSOLTUELY FIRST CLASS

Overall an excellent holiday and we will be back and i would most certainly stay in the same hotel
