We had a very enjoyable holiday at this hotel. It was indeed a bit tired looking, but we realise it is to be totally refurbished. We were particularly taken with the extremely friendly and helpful staff, especially the girls in reception, Missy, Tara, Migna and Vanessa, headed by the wonderful Robert (Manager). Likes: Virtually everything, particularly the excellent quality and... More

Very reasonably priced with senior discount for a small, fully equipped one bedroom suite. It was actually more than we needed, but very comfortable. An excellent breakfast buffet was included. All staff members I met were polite and friendly. One slight drawback: the swimming pool is a little small. But after spending the whole day at Disney, I didn't use... More

The Sonesta ES Suites Orlando was very nice. The rooms...they could use some updating (which I believe they are in the process of doing). However, the rooms are spacious. We were upgraded to a two bedroom suite rather than the one bedroom suite we had originally booked, because housekeeping had not cleaned a one bedroom upon our arrival (doesn't make... More

From the moment we walked into the lobby we were made welcome. They accommodated our early arrival, upgraded my husband's member status to match his Sonesta status in Boston and gave him great options for future trips. The housekeeping staff was warm and personable. I made instant friends with Maria. Great experience.

Upon entering our room I found mold all over the bathroom ceiling above shower and around air vent. The rooms look like they are from the 80's. They are supposedly remodeling but we clearly had an older room that I guess they never care for considering the mold. Anyway, I contracted the front desk and was told they were booked... More

Dear Guest, Please accept our most sincere apology for the condition of the bathroom vent, along with the confusion regarding relocating your accommodations within the property. I was glad to read that the Front Desk was quickly willing to change your suite, but saddened to see that it was not changed as we would never want any of our guests... More
