Best think about this place is location, location, just across the street of restaurants and other entertaiment spots. Rooms are fair, quite acomodating, and more important reasonable priced. I definitely recommend this place for your stay at Orlando area.

The room was disgusting. Hair all over the bathroom counters and in tub. New towels were put in but there was still previous soaps in the shower from the previous guest. The floors were not vacuumed and nasty. I will never be staying at this property or another sonesta again.
