VOCO KISSIMMEE ORLANDO BY IHG, Orlando

The hotel is situated on busy US-192, placing it within a 5-minute drive of several Disney parks and a short walk to numerous casual dining chains such as Subway, Giordano's, and Cracker Barrel. While the location is excellent for theme park access and has a free shuttle to Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, and Hollywood Studios, the area is car-oriented. Public transport to the airport is available via local buses, and on-site parking is free. The immediate neighbourhood is safe and well-lit, with a minimarket on site for essentials.

The hotel offers spacious double rooms and family suites that sleep up to 5 using two queen beds and a pull-out sofa. Each room includes air conditioning, heating, a private bathroom with a bath and hairdryer, a TV with cable channels, and a refrigerator. Some rooms also feature a microwave. While many rooms appear clean and have been partially renovated, a strong musty or mildew odour has been reported in several units, often linked to moisture in the bathroom or in the fabric furniture. Road-facing and ground-floor rooms can be less quiet, particularly near the pool area. The lighting in some rooms is minimal, relying on a single floor lamp. The sofa beds can be uncomfortable for adults. For the best experience, request a renovated room on an upper floor away from the pool.

The on-site restaurant, Voco Kitchen, aims to serve American dishes for dinner, but as of recent reports, it may not yet have a food service license, and breakfast is not available. A Pool Bar is open for dinner. There is no room service. For meals, guests can walk to nearby casual restaurants including Subway (0.5 km), Giordano's (0.5 km), and Cracker Barrel (0.5 km). A minimarket on site provides drinks and snacks. Given the current uncertainty around on-site dining, it is wise to plan meals at the nearby eateries or bring your own food.

The hotel's main leisure facility is a large, heated outdoor pool open daily from 08:00 to 23:00. It includes a pool bar, sun loungers, umbrellas, and complimentary pool towels. A separate children's pool exists, and the pool area itself is well-maintained and pleasant. The fitness centre is free to use. There are also outdoor play equipment and board games available for children. No spa or hot tub is available. The pool waterfall can be loud, which may affect nearby rooms, but the area is generally quiet and peaceful in the evenings.

The hotel provides free Wi-Fi throughout, free private parking (no reservation needed), and a free shuttle to Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, and Hollywood Studios. The shuttle requires advance reservation (24 hours via Discover USA Tours) and has limited daily departure times. The 24-hour front desk can arrange laundry for an additional charge. Luggage storage is free. The property has lifts, wheelchair-accessible rooms, and accessible parking. Daily housekeeping is included, though some guests have found towel replacement to be inconsistent. There is an ATM on site, and safety deposit boxes are available for free. The hotel accepts major credit cards including Visa, MasterCard, and Amex.
