Quality Inn International, Orlando

Advantages: central location, cheap(ish), large room
Disadvantages: hanging space limited, rooms on a walkway

...to Orlando was booked. Quality Inn International sits almost plum in the middle of International Drive, just past the crossroads at Sand Lake Road. If you've seen the world's largest McDonalds (and how could you miss it?) then you've seen the Quality Inn, which is right next to it. * Checking in * After an eight hour flight, the last thing I needed was a lengthy check in but I only had to give my name at Registration and the lady had everything ...
...a free buffet dinner. Already Quality Inn was racking up some points with me! * The room * As we entered, there were two large double beds in a spacious, air conditioned room. The bathroom was tiddly - just a bath/shower and a toilet and all very, ahem, compact. The sink was outside, along with a hairdryer on the wall, a safe, coffee maker and a microwave (so near the sink - a good idea?!). There was also a fridge which was most handy for cold ...

Advantages: Good budget motel in ideal location with very good on-site facilities
Disadvantages: Lack of adequate hanging space when room at full occupancy

Location Quality Inn International (locally known as "The Low Q" - but don't let that put you off, I think it is more about the location than the quality of accommodation!) is on the northern end of I-Drive about 10 minutes walk from wet'n'wild, and the rear car park backs on to the big McDonalds. Transfer time from Orlando International airport is about 25 minutes. I understand that travelling from Sanford takes about 40 minutes. Accommodation ...
...- get more and better quality than you could at home for around half the price. There are also two main dinner shows within easy reach. "Pirates" is 10 minutes walk away, and Dolly Parton's Dixie Stampede is a relatively short trolley ride (or drive) away. I can highly recommend Dixie Stampede for entertainment, value for money and quality grub. International Drive is also a shopper's paradise. You have malls at several points along its length, ...

Advantages: reasonably priced, convenient location, nice pool areas.
Disadvantages: nothing really.

We booked the Quality Inn through Virgin Holidays this year. On arrival at the hotel we were booked in promptly and were presented with some vouchers for some free meals, which was good. We were then taken to our room by a member of staff who took our luggage on a trolley for us. I was, however disappointed that we were located on the first floor as we had requested a ground floor. We have two children who were both under 3 so had pushchairs etc ...
...is was only a few steps and the staff were always willing to assist. Our room looked over the gardens and was nice and quiet, unless you count the fountain just outside, but that was switched off at night. The pool areas were clean and there were plenty of towels. We did go to the bar, which was nice, but very expensive - we went to the local wal-mart and bought our own wine! The evening entertainment was ok and the bar served hot snacks, like ... Read review

Advantages: Location. Family Friendly
Disadvantages: Nothing really

We stayed at this hotel in July 2004 with a family of 5. The location is superb for everything that Orlando has to offer. Situated slap bang in the middle of I-Drive, all the main attractions are nearby. Disney is about 15-20 minute drive along Interstate 4 which has a junction by hotel. Universal, Wet n Wild and Sea World are at most 10 minutes away. Parking at the hotel can be accessed from Sand Lake Road and I-Drive and has security at entrance. ...
...after a long day at the parks, but doesn't cause any problems as well lit. The hotel has rooms in main hotel blocks and several two-storey buildings. Our room was in a two-storey building and overlooked one of the pools (ideal for the kids). The room was what I expected from a motel style. 2 double beds, a rollaway bed (ordered in advance), tv, drawers and small "wardrobe area", bathroom with toilet, bath and shower, wash basin outside bathroom ...

Advantages: Location
Disadvantages: A Bit Basic

The location of this hotel couldnt be better, its in the middle of international drive with plenty of things around and if you dont have a car then great transport links. Staff in the hotel are very friendly and efficent. The rooms have two double beds in which are cleaned and bedding and towels changed every day. Rooms have fridge, microwave, tea and coffee facilities and a small dining area. Bathroom is very clean, plenty of hot water and a nice ...
...of litttle aminities and a nice powerful hair dryer. There is lots of space for cases and clothes as well as an iron and ironing board. Location is great you are on i drive and sand lake road, next door is the worlds largest macdonalds and across is numerous restaunts ( whole heartidly reccomend chilis!) and for breakfast ponderosa its buffet but only $4 all you can eat. The hotel is nothing fancy but does its job for orlando and most of all its ... Read review

Advantages: Entertainment overload, great theme parks, lots to do and lots to see
Disadvantages: A lot of money will vanish from your wallet

...about one hour after leaving the center we were on International drive in Orlando. It seems like most of the tourist “attractions” have centered on this short road and we decided to get a room in this area since it is close to the amusement parks. We stopped at one of the tourist information centers to get some help to find a hotel but they seemed more interested in selling us Disney tickets. But we did manage to pick up some brochures and in most of the brochures there were info about hotels and also coupons. I don’t really like this coupon business but we managed to get a hotel room at Quality inn for about 32 dollars a night. The hotel is located on 7600 International Drive and it is pretty big. We decided to get started with the fun stuff the next morning. The first thing on our list was a visit to Universal Studios. We got... Read review

Advantages: Everything
Disadvantages: Possibility of queues (but they're worth it)

...is very clean. I would highly recommend a visit. The place we went was on International Drive, next to the Quality Inn Plaza hotel and nearly opposite Wonderworks (the upside-down house). The address of the Sizzler we ate at is: 9142 South International Drive Orlando, FL 32819 (407) 351-5369 There is also a restaurant at the north end of International Drive. The address is as follows: 12195 S. Apopka Vineland Orlando, FL 32819 (407) 238-1551 Overall, excellent. Bon appetite!... Read review
