I enjoyed my stay at this hotel. Everyone was very nice and helpful. I would recommend this hotel to family and friends. My only complaint is that the AC messed up Saturday night.

Positives: I loved the two rooms suite that we stayed in. It was very comfortable and clean. The hotel staff was very nice and helpful.

Negatives: The AC was not working Saturday night and the hotel was completely booked so we had to stay in our room.

I booked myself at the "Howard Johnson Suites" upon my arrival I was told that my room was not available. I was given several choices. I chose to go to another one of their hotels, a "Travel Lodge Suites".

Positives: Leaving.

Negatives: The arrival and stay.

The hotel staff was very friendly and the location was good for Disney. Other than that it was terrible. The hotel seemed very shady. The room was the dirtiest I have ever seen. There was mold growing on the tub. The place was so bad that I refused to stay there. I left to stay at another hotel.

Positives: Friendly staff.

Negatives: Facilities seemed shady. Rooms were disgustingly filthy.

For the price it was the hotel was nice. I had a nice 2 bedroom suite. The only thing is that they need to have better beds to sleep on. One of the beds was sinking in. But besides that I was pleased.

Positives: This hotel was good for the price that was given.

Negatives: They need better BEDS.

Location was great. The view was nice. The bathroom was small. I think all HOJOs have that but if you just need a cheap place to crash this would be a good place.

Positives: The location and price.

Negatives: Small bathrooms.

This is the worst hotel experience we have had, the amenities that are listed on the web site are misleading, the maid service was terrible, there was the same trash out back by the lake the entire time we were there, our bags were gone through when we left the room and the staff did not seem to care, we were woke up every morning at 6am with a wake up call that we repeatedly ask to be stop, our continental breakfast was a Danish in a bag, nothing else, no fruit no cereal nothing healthy, the maid would stand out by our door with her cart and wait for us to leave, with was very tacky, overall it was a terrible stay.

Positives: Nothing

Negatives: Staff, cleanness.

We had to wait thirty minutes when we arrived at 5pm. They were full the night before and must not have enough cleaning staff to have the rooms ready by 3pm. It's an older place but you can tell they have tried to make it look nice. The room was clean and nice and we loved the lake view behind the hotel. You can swim in the pool and look at the beautiful lake at the same time. It was much farther to Disney World than it states online. They are by mile marker 11 or 12 when your get off I-4. It is more than 12 miles to Disney. But if you want a place with a full kitchen, it's much more economical to stay there than at Disney. We had a nice stay at the hotel. I just wish they'd get the miles corrected because Disney is further but it really didn't seem bad driving there from the hotel. I just prefer to stay closer when going to the parks with my toddler when she gets tired. Honestly if I go to the parks again with my mom and Aunt, plus my daughter and I , We would stay there again. The rooms were nice and the ones with the full kitchen sleep six people and the price is right for that many people. If you stay there its an older place but the owner has truly made an effort to make it a nice place to stay for both singles and families.

Positives: They have a full kitchen if needed in some rooms and micro/frig available. That's great. Plus the lake behind the place is beautiful.

Negatives: How far away it was from Disney world, more then 12 miles away.

Alright hotel for the price. A little far down 192 if going to Disney. Shuttle runs only a couple of times each day. Pink paint dates it horribly but nice pool and hot tub.

Positives: Cheap price.

Negatives: Pink paint, dates it horribly!

This hotel was renovated recently and it looks like the minimal requirements were met to make it a clean room. The beds are hard and the room smells moldy but it was clean. I expected more from a Howard Johnson. This room was typical of a Motel 6 or a Super 8. It would not have been my first choice. Since the Daytona 500 was in town my options were very limited.

Positives: It was one of the only rooms available in the area due to Nascar Weekend.

Negatives: It is not what I expected with the Howard Johnson name.

The beds were comfortable and clean. The bathroom however was very old, small and not very clean. I was very disappointed with the bathroom. The price was good but I would have paid more for a better bathroom. Otherwise the location was beautiful. If they could update their bathrooms, they would have a gold mine of a hotel.

Positives: Access to pool and view of lake was wonderful

Negatives: Bathroom was dirty, very small and outdated.
