THE POINT HOTEL & SUITES, Orlando

The property sits directly on Universal Boulevard, placing you within a 20-minute walk or under a 5-minute drive of Universal Studios. Disney World is about 15-25 minutes by car, and SeaWorld is similarly close. The surrounding area is packed with restaurants, including Sharky & Jack's Bar & Grill and Pizza Xtreme within 0.5 km, plus large outlet malls and supermarkets less than 2 km away. Parking is free (with a daily fee) but becomes scarce after 10 PM; many guests find a car essential for visiting parks, though local attractions are walkable. The location is considered very safe and well-lit.

Standard suites offer a separate living area with a sofa, a seating area, a work desk, and a flat-screen TV with streaming services. Kitchenettes include a refrigerator, microwave, and tea/coffee maker; one-bedroom condos add a full stove, oven, dishwasher, and washer/dryer. Many rooms feature a private balcony-top-floor units often have city views. The bathrooms have both a bath and a shower, with walk-in showers available in some rooms and jacuzzi tubs in one-bedroom condos. Soundproof walls are present, but hallway noise can still be noticeable. Carpeting in older rooms has been replaced with new flooring in many units, though some carpets remain stained. Beds are generally comfortable, though a few guests note the mattresses can be firm. The property is a mix of hotel-managed rooms and private rentals, so the level of service and cleaning can vary-rooms are not serviced daily unless requested and paid for.

A grab-and-go breakfast is offered for US$10, with items such as pastries, pancakes, and fruit. The restaurant serves a variety of beverages and meals; the pool bar is particularly popular for its frozen cocktails and food like wings and fries. A Starbucks coffee shop is located in the lobby for quick coffee and light snacks. The on-site minimarket is handy for essentials. Many guests with full kitchens prefer to prepare their own meals, and a wide array of international restaurants are within a 5-minute walk for those who want to eat out.

The outdoor swimming pool is open daily from 7 AM to 11 PM and is heated, with a shallow end and sun loungers/umbrellas provided. Pool/beach towels are available at the pool area. The hot tub/Jacuzzi is free to use, and some one-bedroom condos have jacuzzi bathtubs. The fitness centre is functional but has basic equipment-some treadmills are rusted and there are no free weights. A shared lounge/TV area and a pool table are also available. Guests often appreciate the relaxed atmosphere by the pool, especially for evening relaxation after park visits.

Wi-Fi is free and works well throughout the property. Private parking costs US$3 per day and includes accessible spots and electric vehicle charging stations. The 24-hour front desk can assist with express check-in/out, tour desk services, and an ATM on site. Luggage storage is free. The hotel is wheelchair accessible with tactile signs and grab rails in accessible bathrooms. Meeting/banquet facilities are available for an additional charge. Safety features include 24-hour security, CCTV, smoke alarms, and free safety deposit boxes in rooms. Late check-out may be possible depending on availability. The property accepts American Express, Visa, MasterCard, and debit cards.
