Developer Inn Maingate, a Baymont by Wyndham

The free breakfast was very good, though the breakfast room is small and gets crowded in the morning. The staff were extremely helpful, and my room smelled clean and fresh. For the price, the hotel exceeded my expectations. Its convenient location worked well for my visit to Seaworld, and I was very pleased with my stay.

I was traveling with my toddler, so the family-friendly feel mattered a lot. The large pool was empty when we went, and there was a little playground beside it. Our room had clean, comfortable beds, working air conditioning, a mini refrigerator, TV, and microwave. Everything, including the bathroom, was clean, and the room was cool and comfortable. We only stayed two days and wanted something affordable, so I'd absolutely come back. I'm pretty picky, haha. They offer complimentary breakfast too. We didn't eat it, but it's nice to have the option before heading out for the day. We were visiting Disney, and it was very close by. I'd read mixed reviews, but I'm glad I chose this place. It seemed quite updated, and the staff were extremely friendly.

Summaira at check-in made a great first impression. She was so polite, kind, and accommodating the whole time we were checking in. Her customer service was amazing. She's one of the best front desk agents I've come across. I hadn't expected the hotel to be in such good shape after reading some of the reviews, but I'm glad I gave it a chance. The room was spacious, clean, comfortable, and felt well cared for and welcoming.

It's not a 5-star hotel, but it does the job well for people trying to visit Orlando on a budget. My husband and I love theme parks and are pretty frugal, so we felt lucky to have this option. The rooms were clean, the hot water and air conditioning worked, and the place is incredibly close to the Disney parks. I'm surprised its rating is so low when it's such a bargain, lol. For an honest heads-up, our room smelled a little musty. The free Disney shuttle runs on a limited schedule, and breakfast is the usual continental hotel fare. They also weren't very quick about restocking it.
