Ramada Orlando Convention Center I-Drive

The hotel is old and kind of worn but... the beds were excellent, the free internet fast, and the breakfast really good. The location is pretty convenient to restaurants and close to transportation.

Great location

We went to Epcot, SeaWorld, Universal Studios, Animal Kingdom. Really enjoyed the free breakfast. Full selection, eggs, bagels, sweet rolls, waffles, cereal, bacon and more. Took advantage of it every day!!!! Regarding the room, it was comfortable but the bathroom was in need of repair. Overall experience was great. You really don't spend much time in the room afterall do you. Or do you????? Great trip. Thanks

Many dining choices very close. You could walk or take a short ride. Anything you had a taste for was available from McD's to fine dining. We tried them all.

Fun Weekend in Orlando

After spending two days at the major resort in the area we moved to this hotel to be closer to a convention that I attended. This hotel had provided all one could need at a reasonable rate.

Entertainment tip: Short drive from hotel

What a fun afternoon and evening visiting Old Town! It is free and on Friday and Saturday evenings there is a car show / cruise night that is a lot of fun to watch. We ate at the Mexican place at one end but they say the Pizza shop next door is worth the long wait to get in.

Good place for staying

This place might be perfect if you are looking for a place to stay on I-Drive and play around. It has good location and got almost everything you need, while the laundry machine was a little bit problematic. For those who want to visit the theme parks, it's close to Universal Studio and Seaworld and you can easily find a bus to and from there in half an hour. However, maybe you should rent a car if you are planning a visit to WDW and don't want to get up at 6 spend more than an hour on the bus. BTW the price of shuttle bus to/from WDW is about $40 one way.
