Residence Inn by Marriott Orlando Convention Center

On the positive side, the Marriott Residential Inn at the Orlando Convention Center was great. The room was clean and was kept that way by a very friendly staff who we even left a generous tip to. We saved SO much money by taking advantage of the FREE breakfast buffet. We had it every morning and the selection was great. The do it yourself waffles and sausage patties were my favorites. Overall the 2 bedroom room felt a little smaller than others I have stayed at, but it was nevertheless comfortable. The full kitchen was fantastic, but I wish they had more dishes and silverware available. The location was perfect for our needs, very close to Universal and Sea world, but a bit of a drive to the Disney Parks. There was a major grocery store just down the road that was great for stocking the full kitchen. The only bad note was I reserved a rollaway bed and when I got there they didn't have it for me for the whole period of our stay. 2 of my kids had to share the 2nd bedroom Queen bed which they didn't like but survived.

We actually were able to walk to our favorite restaurant, The Bahama Breeze. There was no hassel finding parking space. It was also close to the Convention Center which was important to me. I liked the fact that the bedroom was separate from the seating area. This was not true of our recent stay at the Residence Inn in Erie, Pa. That was a disappointment. I did feel however, there should have been more elevators. We waited a long time for one on several occasions.
