I loved it especially how close it was to Disney.

Within walking distance was so many restaurants and shoppes. The pool was cool, it had a water slide and a waterfall.

Holiday Inn Express Lake Buena Vista

Very nice hotel. The decor was beautiful and the pool was awesome! This location on Palm Pkwy is very convenient to restaurants that you just walk to. The hotel staff was extra friendly when I asked her about a Chinese food restaurant by suggesting a certain place and giving me a menu. She also said they deliver to the hotel so that is also a plus. I will plan to stay here again soon.

Great Location

The Holiday Inn Express is located near many shops and restaurants, but sits in a low traffic area. Check-in was quick and easy. The lobby was quiet and clean. Our room was spacious and exceptionally clean. We even had a balcony. Daily room service was exceptional. The dining options at the hotel is limited to the free breakfast buffet which was delicious and served in a quaint setting that was very clean. The attendants at breakfast were most helpful. We didn't mind the limited dining due to so many restaurants right in the area. The pool has a waterfall and a slide and the hot tub was perfect. Returning from Disney, we noticed a cop watching over the parking lot. We felt safer. I recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a clean, spacious room (with fridge and microwave) at a great price! I give it 5 stars.

Only a couple of miles from the DisneyWorld entrances with easy on and off I-4 access. Restaurants in the area are Buffalo Wild Wings, Ihop, Sizzler, Golden Corral, Landry's Seafood, Burger King, Mc Donalds, and many others. There is a Chevron and Shell nearby. There is a Walgreens within blocks and many small mini-marts for quick purchases.

Great value for a Disney World vacation

This hoel was very nice. It had a full breakfast, but did not have coffee available in the lobby all the time. The rooms were wonderful. Bathroom a little small but nice. Lots of hot water, clean linen every day, and a wonderful clean room every day. Air conditioner was sooo cold, which felt wonderful after spending all day at Disney. Beds were comfortable(wish I could have taken them home with me) Refrigerator and microwave in room. I can't say enough about our stay. It was the best vacation I have ever had. I would go back again. Also it was located in Lake Buena Vista which was a beautiful area. Walt Disney Village was across the street.
