I read good reviews on Priceline and booked for 2 nights at $79 per night. The hotel was really easy to find and in a fabulous location. Minutes to theme parks and Downtown Disney and many wonderful places to eat and shop. We got a double room with 2 beds and were very happy to see that we had a... More

The hotel was okay. Clean, had a shuttle for all the Disney Parks and pool looked clean. We never used it. What was most disappointing was we were promised free breakfast when we checked in and that didn't happen. When we asked why we were todl we didn't qualify. We stayed for 5 nights and I am a Marriot rewards... More

I enjoyed my stay here due to the convenient location and friendly staff. However, I think the hotel doesn't appear that clean due to the carpets not being well vacummed. The front desk clerk was a godsend in directing me to the hotel via telephone. I had gotten lost and she was very helpful in giving me good directions. I... More

I stayed at the Courtyard in late April 2012 for 5 days. My primary considerations for the hotel were proximity to the conference facility (less than 2 miles), ability to bring my dog (yes), and price (very affordable). The hotel was clean, an amazing feat considering the volume of people that stay there. The staff was friendly and always willing... More

yuck, were are tiny bugs in my room, everywhere. the carpets are badly stained. the blankets are very dirty. the hotel is pretty and the pool is nice but I have zero tolerance for bugs so I cannot give this hotel a good rating.the staff was very accommodating and very friendly. they were very apologetic. sorry for this bad review.

We have been visiting Orlando for about 35 years and there might be better choices for some tourists but we love staying on Palm Parkway verses perhaps staying on Hotel Plaza Blvd. or International Drive. Palm Parkway is relatively quiet with much less traffic than Hotel Plaza Blvd., less trucks, less buses less cars less noise. We also do not... More

This hotel will probably be refurbished in the coming years. It is in acceptable shape, and the rooms are roomy and clean, but time and wear takes its toll. If you can get a room there for a good price - go for it. Otherwise, there are many choices around. The area is nice - many restaurants within a short... More

We stayed here for five nights at the beginning of April. The hotel is obviously an older property and is probably in need of upgrading to the new Courtyard decor, but having said that the rooms had obviously been refreshed and we were very comfortable. We had connecting rooms with our children and we were very happy with our rooms.... More

This is a moderately priced hotel in a decent off-Disney location but there are better choices in the same area. This hotel is older an the rooms need to be remodeled. The corridors are somewhat dank - kind of what you would expect in a college dorm. The furniture and fixtures are worn and the decor is bland. We used... More
