8.4/10 Very Good! (1,009 reviews)
I had read reviews whereby people complained about dirty windows, worn out couches and the bar & restaurant not being open often. I still booked for 2 weeks because many reviews mentioned it was clean and that’s what’s important to me. Check in was easy. The room was extremely clean (1505A). The staff were very friendly and polite including the maintenance and security personnel. Yes the windows needed cleaning but not on the inside and not at ground level. It would take a window washer for a high rise. Yes the couch could be replaced but it was clean. In this economy, a person would be wise to stock the fridge with their beverage of choice along with some food. If the restaurant is closed, a 5 minute walk gets you to a hundred options on International Drive. We were extremely pleased with our stay from April 10 to 24 and would highly recommend the Westgate Palace.
