Recent Embassy International Drive Review: "This hotel was one of the best I've ever stayed in. All the employees went above and beyond in providing excellent customer service. I was in town on business and came in around 7pm to discover a free happy hour until 7:30. I was supposed to have my room key to verify that I was a guest and instead of making me check in and drop my stuff off, they let me join in on the fun. Not only were there beverages, but fresh popcorn and chips and salsa.
The following day, my tradeshow went late and we arrived back at the hotel at 7:45, hoping we could get one last drink, but saw that it was closed. A very friendly employee apologized but said he would ask the manager on duty if he could oblige just the one and Cody, the manager at the time, happily let us sit at the bar and enjoy our own private happy hour.
The valet team and people at the front desk were very helpful with providing directions or suggestions on places to eat, as well as helping decide where I should spend a half day if I wanted to check out something "Disney." Everyone was so cheery and pleasant, very fitting for a hotel in a vacation destination!
Overall, it was a fabulous experience and I will enthusiastically recommend this hotel to anyone!"

| Int'l drive Embassy suites is a very nice hotel. Very convenient location to trolley, wonderworks, Pointe Orlando restaurants and Pirate mini golf. Great to have 2 rooms with 2 TV's with teenagers. Hotel staff and onsite Budget car rental staff terrific also. Breakfast was not as good as expected. Omelets or scrambled eggs were not good at all. However, other food was good, including potatoes, bacon and lots of fresh fruit. . Recommend Happy Limo if you don't want to rent a car. I-trolley was crazy busy. Had to stand almost the entire way. Would recommend this hotel to anyone. |

| I thought the hotel was great, great breakfast in the morning. rooms were nice, lobby was beautiful. Only problem I had was with the shuttles to the Disney Parks. We arrived in the afternoon and the shuttles only go in the morning so we had to drive to the park and pay for parking. The next morning we were going to Animal Kingdom and would have had to wait until after 10 for the shuttle, so again we drove and paid parking, |

| Beautiful hotel, close to everything we were doing that weekend. They had free cocktails for 2 hours each evening we were there, and a free breakfast each morning that was wonderful. Lots to choose from and eggs cooked to order if you wanted. The hotel was perfectly clean and all the staff were very friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay there again |

| This hotel has been around for a while and the elements are taking their toll. Woodwork needs some paint.
The housekeeping dept. needs to do a better job cleaning. Our toilet was filthy. They were also inconsistant with filling the in room coffee supplies. |

| I've stayed at several Embassy Suites. This one is above average.
Rooms are comfortable. Happy Hour is well attended (although drinks are small and snacks are limited). Free cooked-to-order breakfasts are available along with a nice selection of other breakfast items including fresh fruit and juices.
The restaurant is small but quite good, especially for seafood. The salmon and crabcake special is exquisite. The shrimp and oyster plate with conch fritters is also quite nice.
The airport transportation is pricy at over $40.
Howl at the Moon piano bar is across the street along with several restaurants.
Overall, it was a pleasant experience that exceeded my expectations. |
