The hotel is about a 30min drive to Universal Studios. There is a nearby Walmart and numerous food options. If you’re going to be at the parks everyday, this would be your best option for sleeping. The employees were very polite and professional. They serve breakfast in the morning, however, the dining area is a bit small so it’s quite a challenge to eat. Overall, great place to stay.

Pro: The staff is very supportive and will help you with questions you have for your hotel stay. Con: The hotel rooms are lack luster, differing from their online photos. We saw paint chips and peeling in the ceiling and on the walls. There is light peering around the hotel door which we noticed with the lights off. Also the main door and the bathroom door are not aligned correctily, so you have to push and pull firmer on the doors. Hotel rooms are cleaned every other day instead on a daily basis. The TV image is watchable, but during certain random times, the image becomes a little statically. I am not sure if it is their cable reception or just the tv itself. Lastly, the bathroom itself needed maintenance. There is no shower mat, so you have to brace yourself while showering. There is no interior shower curtain to keep the water in the shower (although the exterior curtain had magnets to keep itself to the shower tub). The toilet tissue holder is lop-sided and the toilet roll can slide off when getting a certain amount. The toilet seat was not fully secured to the toilet bowl. There were little black spots in the grouting. The shower head has water spots that hasn't been cleaned in our entire 3 night stay. All-in-all, this Howard Johnson Hotel by Wyndham in Kissimee looks like a remodeled motel. So, take this into consideration before booking.

The overall rating is "Meh!" The person at the check-in/check-out counter was polite and professional. The room was clean, and the maid service was provided as advertised, after every 2nd day, which with a Thursday check-in and Monday check-out, that was Saturday and they did the room as advertised at the front desk. Now the negatives. This is based on room 221. 1) The front desk said they do the room every 2 days, which is what it was, but a sign in the room said every 3, leading to inconsistent advertising. That sign should be removed. 2) The bathroom door did not close at all. Not even with a shove. 3) There is no way to turn on the bathroom light without turning on the air vent, which leaks water right over the toilet, and so if you need to use the toilet and have the light on, enjoy getting wet. Leave the lid up and the seat is all wet the next time you use it. 4) Paint chipping off in the bathroom, especially shower area. All told, the bathroom needs MAJOR work. Otherwise, it was fine. 5) Elevator was broken. Overall? Meh! Seen worse, seen much better. In a pinch, it is ok, but otherwise, look elsewhere.
