Not near anything. One restaurant with poor food. Rooms don't even mention checkout time much less provide a room service menu. No shampoo. Tattered furniture. Internet constantly down and can't be more than 2400 baud when up. Dial-up is better, but you get charged $1 after 7 rings whether you connect or not.

After reading all of the horrible reviews and the plea from the hotel's sales manager we went to this hotel fearing the worst (and carrying the phone number of the sales manager just in case). I told my wife that we would give the place a chance, ask for a tower room as soon as we checked in and, in the worst case, ask for a refund and go home 2 days early. We pulled into the hotel and asked for a tower room but the desk clerk said that the tower was full and gave us a room in building 5 right near the pool. We decided to check it out before we took anything out of the car and went in, cell phone in hand, ready to call and complain. Well, there was no mold. There were no ants crawling all over the place. There was no musty odor. What we saw was a king-sized bed with 6 pillows on it, a small couch (not sure if it opened up into a sleeper, there were only the 2 of us), a refrigerator, a safe in the closet and a moderately sized bathroom. Not scary in the least and the bed turned out to be very comfortable. It looked as if the room had been recently refurbished. Housekeeping had left a generous assortment of towels, fancy soaps and other toiletries. It was far more than we expected and better than other hotels of the same rating we had stayed in while visiting Orlando. The pool was heated, the spa gave out plenty of bubbles and was hot enough to be barely tolerable for me. At night the palm trees were lit up with christmas-type lights going up the trunks. It was really a lovely place and we wouldn't hesitate to go back there. I even left a message for the sales manager telling him that I had shown up looking to go to war with him and ended up very satisfied.
Some other reviewers have said that the location isn't very good. That depends if you have a car or not. I would hate to have to depend on the buses or shuttles to get around but if you have a car it's actually a lot more convenient than it looks. You have easy access to the hotel from exit 72 off of I-4 and that same expressway that gets you to the hotel will also get you to Universal Drive if you go up 1 more exit. Universal Drive parallels International Drive so you can go all the way up to Universal Studios without putting up with the I-Drive traffic problems. If you want to go to Disney instead you can get right back onto I-4 in a minute or take a right on International Drive and end up at 535 which goes to either Lake Buena Vista and Downtown Disney or Irlo Bronson Highway (192), depending on which way you turn. We had no problems whatsoever getting around but we (1) had a car, and (2) had been to Orlando enough times to know our way around fairly well.
All in all I gave this place an 8. I'm sure the tower would have been better but our room was fine and we had access to the same resort facilities the tower folks had at 1/3 the price.

Hello
Now that it has been a few days and I am home and in my right mind I wanted to write you about my experience with your hotel.
We booked rooms with a large group from Massachusetts. My first impression was that it looked like an old motel. After checking in I noticed the room had a horrid smell. My 8 year old wanted to stay because this was where her friends where, so we stayed.
We went out that night down to a meeting at the crowne royal. We all started talking and other's said they checked out already. We all noted smells and a few said they saw bugs.
We went back to the hotel later that night and noticed that the sink was full of bugs. They were all over everything. We had NO food in the room, our toothpaste hadn't been opened yet they were on my face cream, toothpaste, tooth brushes (brand new). They were crawling on our soap.
Due to the hour we stayed the night. The noise was horrid. We didn't sleep all night. Then I started having trouble breathing. We found a lot of mold in the room. The next morning after 2 hours of sleep we packed and checked out.
I was so upset it wouldn't not have been a good time to have brought anything up.
The floor was damp, the mold was horrible, there were bugs in the room. I can not believe you rent these rooms out to anyone.
I have been to the doctor who has confirmed that my breathing issue is from mold, nothing a few weeks on a inhaler won't cure.

They had comfortable nice rooms and a good location. I had problems with the room key and I had to get a new one almost every day, even after they sent a service man to check the lock.
I am somewhat likely
to return to the International Plaza Resort and Spa.
I might recommend it to friends.
