Swift check in and out. Clean room. Great location. We stayed here 1 night as it was cheaper to collect the SIXT hire car from the hotel than the airport, even taking account of the hotel and Uber!!!!

The layout of the room was perfect but there was a strong moldy/musty smell. We were coughing by morning. The bedroom/bathroom walls look like they had previous water damage. The hot water handle on the sink didn't work, so only cold water. The lever to switch between shower and bathtub didn't work. The bathroom floor wasn't clean.

I wanted to plan something special for a milestone birthday in Orlando. There’s obviously a ton of hotels to choose from in the Orlando area. I refined my search by looking for hotels with kitchen amenities. Then again, by searching for suites. And further again by searching for separate suites. Sonesta ES Suites Orlando - International Drive hit it out of the park! Before I even arrived, Gerold and Vanessa answered all my questions via email regarding amenities, proximity to destinations, restaurants, groceries, etc. When I arrived, Juan at the front desk said, “I remember you from your email about grocery delivery. Welcome!”. The suite was humble and cozy. Modern decorations have been added, and the separate sleeping suites were perfect; each with its own full bathroom and closet. We didn’t even need to interact with the Sonesta team while we were there for nine days. And proximity? We simply walked across the street to the Icon Park restaurants for dinner each evening. The pool was warm, the hot tub was relaxing, and everything from the parking lot to the elevators was clean and maintained. We couldn’t have asked for a better accommodation while staying in Orlando. Sonesta ES Suites - Orlando International Drive was perfect for our stay. Value, comfort, rooms, but the team members who helped us before and during our stay were the rock stars. We’ll be back!

I stayed at this property many years ago and it was very clean and well kept, perfect really. I booked it for a night recently and waa excited to see what i remembered from my previous stay. I was very disappointed. The tube dripped very badly and the bathroom sink did not drain. There were crumbs of food in the pull out sofa bed and no linens for it. Linens were brought when we requested. The elevators were very dirty, especially the windows. I remember the last time i stayed that was one of the highlights, the glass elevators oveelooking the pool. Bathrooms were veey dirty.
