HOLIDAY INN ORLANDO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT BY IHG, Orlando

The hotel is ideally situated for airport convenience and area attractions. It is a short walk to a cluster of restaurants, including Denny's, TGI Fridays, and Chili's (all within 0.5 km). Walt Disney World and Universal Studios are easily accessible by car, as is Camping World Stadium and the heart of downtown Orlando. Cruise line ports are also within reach, though no shuttle is provided. The location is best suited for travellers with a car or those using the airport shuttle; public transit options are limited.

Available room types include double rooms with two beds, king rooms, accessible rooms with grab rails, and suites with microwaves and small refrigerators. Some rooms offer walk-in showers, bathrobes, and workspaces. Rooms are generally clean and comfortable, but the property is older and some units show wear. Musty odors and dampness have been reported in some hallways and rooms; requesting a room away from elevators and high-traffic areas can improve the experience. Room lighting can be poorly positioned, and electrical outlets may be scarce-plan to charge devices near the desk area. The air conditioning can be loud. Larger rooms and suites offer more space for families or extended stays.

The Drift Kitchen & Bar serves American cuisine in a modern setting. A breakfast buffet (US$16 per person) includes hot items such as made-to-order omelettes. A bar and cafe on site offer snacks, wine/champagne, and a large sports TV. There is a kid-friendly buffet and complimentary kids' meals. A small shop in the lobby sells packaged snacks and drinks. Although there is no in-room microwave, a microwave is available in the lobby for guest use. Numerous restaurants including Denny's, TGI Fridays, and Chili's are within a short walking distance.

The outdoor pool is heated and has a shallow end, making it suitable for families. Pool towels are provided. The surrounding area includes sun loungers, umbrellas, a garden, outdoor furniture, and a fire pit. A 24-hour fitness centre is free for guests. Other activities include tennis (free equipment), a games room, happy hour events, and golf nearby (additional charge). The pool area is well-maintained, but the pool can feel cool in winter. The fitness centre is basic but functional.
