Guest Reviews for Howard Johnson Maingate West - Orlando

hotel was very basic but disappointed with cleanliness of outdoor swimming pool, was filthy when we arrived and was not cleaned during our stay also, according to the discription on the internet the hotel had been refurbished recently this was certainly not the case, we were informed of each room having a safe but not informed of a daily charge for use of same, overall due to the crumbling state of the hotel and roads through it I would be surprised if the hotel was still operating in 3 to 5 years.

We thought the hotel was great but we feel that each room should have a fridge and kettle in them. The room had 2 doubole beds - very very comfortable and a table and chairs, with a bathroom and toiled in it - very large. We were very surprised that the beds were made everyday as we have had not had this before - this was a bonus. There is also a safe in the room for your valuables which at no extra cost was also a bonus.

Having read a mixed review about this hotel I wasn't really sure what to expect, personally we had a great time. It is a basic hotel but rooms are clean, staff (especially the Breakfast Waitress) were great. The pool areas were great to relax in and enjoy the sunshine. We stayed for 2 weeks it's only 10-15mins from all the Disney attractions and made an excellent base to travel from. I would recommend this hotel if you are on a budget, again we had a great time.
