“Very good location”
Great location and comfort rooms. There's no minibar inside the room. That's the complain I have
“Fun weekend vacation hotel”
I can't vouch for food or room service since we ate out the whole trip, but the room itself was so fresh and clean. Their shampoo/conditioner is from Bath & Body Works - nice surprise! The staff was friendly whenever I called or went down to the front desk and the hotel was calming. My only negative to report is the state of the hotel exterior which is in need of new paint - preferably something not so pastel. Also, the carpet is on the end of it's lifespan. Overall, my husband and I loved the hotel!
“Great return stay!”
We had another exceptional stay at the Castle Hotel on I-Drive, despite the change in management (from Doubletree to Holiday Inn). Check-in was quick, easy, and friendly. The rooms are spacious, the beds are oh-so-comfortable, and there's little to no noise, so you can get a peaceful night's sleep. The hotel is conveniently located and you can access a variety of attractions easily. You can even walk to many restaurants on I-Drive -- it's very safe!
“A delightful experience!”
The Castle is, without doubt, the best deal in town! The hotel is gorgeous, well maintained, with clean comfortable beds and fabulous facilites. We won't stay anywhere else when we visit Orlando. The staff are friendlly and knowledgable, and the price is right.
“Excellent service”
I stayed at the hotel for 6 nights (6/8-6/14). The staff was very courteous and helpful (especially Lola in housekeeping and Carlos at the front desk). The room was very clean and the staff made sure we had extra towels. However, there was one major drawback...there were no microwaves!! Even if there weren't any in the rooms, there should've been access somewhere in the hotel. A lot of times our food was wasted because we had no way of warming it up. Also, the internet service was $10.95 a night and I think that it should've been free.
“Nice castle motif”
The hotel was nicely maintained and the room was good. The sitting area was the perfect amount of space. I was able to sit and work on my laptop without blocking the view of the TV, plus there was a nice sitting chair for those that don't want to lay in bed and watch TV. The Wi-Fi was free and there was even some free lemonade and iced tea in the lobby right by the elevators. The motif was nice in the lobby and entryway and there was some cute castle related accents in the room.
“Will be going back!”
I was happy with hotel personel and cleaniness of room. Did not use the pool but it did look clean.
“Excellent value”
The Castle, located in an upscale section of International Drive, is a fine choice for a getaway to Orlando. its in an excellent location and a relatively convenient drive to most anything in the area if one wishes to travel about by car. There are also several great dining spots at various price points within walking distance, and the free bus to Universal was a nice touch. The maid service was unobtrusive but very good. The Queen size beds were very comfortable and the room did not feel cramped. Beyond that, the front desk staff was friendly, efficient and very helpful in getting documents scanned, etc. if one has to combine business and pleasure. I took advantage of the small workout room and the outdoor hot tub, but didn't have time to hit the pool. The only thing I'd add is an indoor pool but, to busy Orlando vacationers, that may not be a major factor.
“Excellente expérience de trois nuits”
Excellente situation près des Parcs, chambre très comfortable, parking généreux et gratuit, beaucoup de restos à proximité. Rapport QP exceptionnel mais nous avons bénéficié d'une promo.
“nice place”
very nice place to stay the rooms for pets don't smell like pets
