HOLIDAY INN EXPRESS-INTERNATIONAL DRIVE BY IHG, Orlando

The hotel is less than a 10-minute drive to Universal Orlando and about 15-20 minutes to Epic Universe, making it a convenient base for theme park visits. SeaWorld is an 8-minute drive away, and Disney World is about 25 minutes by car. Orlando International Airport is 26 km (26 km) away; no airport shuttle is available, so budget for a taxi, Lyft, or rental car. The I-Ride Trolley has a stop within walking distance, providing easy access along International Drive. Numerous restaurants, shops, a 24-hour Walgreens, and a Brazilian restaurant are within a short walk. Parking costs US$16 per day and must be reserved in advance.

Accommodation options include standard double rooms with one or two queen beds, and suites that have two queen beds plus a sofa bed, a kitchenette with microwave and refrigerator, and a seating area. All rooms come with a flat-screen cable TV, work desk, coffee maker, hairdryer, iron, and free toiletries. Bathrooms include a shower/tub combination or walk-in shower. Bed type preferences are subject to availability and cannot be guaranteed. Noise from the road and nearby rooms can be noticeable; requesting a higher floor or room away from elevators may help. The overall room feel is clean and functional, with well-maintained furniture. No rooms have a balcony or in-room jacuzzi.

The breakfast buffet includes eggs, bacon, sausage, turkey sausage, cheese omelettes, cereals, pastries, Greek yogurt, fresh fruit, and a pancake maker. The breakfast area can get busy, and the selection repeats daily; longer-stay guests may want variety from nearby cafés. Complimentary coffee and tea are available 24 hours in the lobby. There is no on-site restaurant for lunch or dinner, but many restaurants are within walking distance along International Drive, including a Brazilian restaurant directly across the street. A 24-hour Walgreens is a short drive away for snacks and essentials.

The outdoor pool and hot tub are open from 7:00 to 23:00, with sun loungers and pool/beach towels provided. The fitness centre is open 24 hours and includes cardio and strength equipment. The pool area is generally quiet and can be enjoyed with few other guests at times. No spa or wellness centre is available on the property.

Wi-Fi is free throughout the hotel, as is use of the business centre (with fax/photocopying available for a fee). Daily housekeeping is included, but some guests have noted that bin emptying and towel replacement can be inconsistent; requesting service directly at the front desk may help. Luggage storage is free for up to 24 hours, useful for early arrivals or late departures. Laundry and dry cleaning are available for an additional charge, and the 24-hour front desk can assist with ATM access on-site. Cots can be provided upon request. The property is wheelchair accessible, with accessible parking and rooms featuring grab rails in the bathroom. A $25 security deposit hold is taken at check-in; ensure this is refunded upon checkout.
