Quick service. Staff were great. Rooms we had had wall unit AC. We had no issues but our experience with wall-unit AC is that if you’re not really on top of the cleaning maintenance, they tend to get moldy and make us sick. We didn’t wake up with sore throats and sinus infections, so I think this facility was on top of maintenance ##### Nhan Stayed 1 night in Dec 2025 ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [Villatel Orlando Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Orlando-Resort.h97584899.Hotel-Information) > - [Hilton Grand Vacations Club Tuscany Village Orlando](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Hilton-Grand-Vacations-At-Tuscany-Village.h1080602.Hotel-Information) > - [Park Central South Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Hotels-The-Celino-South-Beach.h1168.Hotel-Information) > - [Coco Key Hotel & Water Park Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-CoCo-Key-Hotel-And-Water-Resort-Orlando.h228.Hotel-Information) > - [Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort Hotel & Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Lauderdale-Hotels-Ft-Lauderdale-Beach-Resort-Hotel-Suites.h327478.Hotel-Information) > - [Bay Lake Tower at Disney's Contemporary Resort \*\*available 12/24-12/29/22\*\*](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Bay-Lake-Tower-At-Disneys-Contemporary-Resort.h42407106.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotel Greystone - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Hotels-Hotel-Greystone.h34892018.Hotel-Information) > - [The Grayson Miami Downtown](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Hotels-The-Grayson-Miami-Downtown.h6535.Hotel-Information) > - [Hilton Cabana Miami Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Hotels-Hilton-Cabana-Miami-Beach-Resort.h18107.Hotel-Information) > - [Marseilles Beachfront Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Hotels-Marseilles-Hotel.h13566.Hotel-Information) > - [Fairfield by Marriott Inn & Suites Orlando at FLAMINGO CROSSINGS(r) Town Center](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Fairfield-Inn-Suites-By-Marriott-Orlando-Flamingo-CrossingWestern-Entrance.h61340843.Hotel-Information) > - [Renaissance Fort Lauderdale Marina Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Lauderdale-Hotels-Renaissance-Fort-Lauderdale-Cruise-Port-Hotel.h658067.Hotel-Information) > - [Homewood Suites by Hilton Orlando at Flamingo Crossings](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Homewood-Suites-By-Hilton-Flamingo-Crossings.h58998470.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotel Landy Orlando Universal Blvd., a Tribute Portfolio Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Hotel-Landy-Orlando-Universal-Blvd.h889939.Hotel-Information) > - [Four Seasons Hotel and Residences Fort Lauderdale](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Lauderdale-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Fort-Lauderdale.h71656415.Hotel-Information) > - [Hampton Inn Ft.
