Best Hotels near Church the Messiah Episcopal, Orange County

I wish I had more nice things to say about our visit to Rosen Shingle Creek. Overall it was a nice stay, but little negatives piled up throughout, resulting in this average review. I brought my family along with me for a very large conference being held at the Orlando Convention Center, and the RSC was an official conference hotel, so many attendees were staying here. PROS . The staff! Overall, wonderful, friendly, engaging and responsive. Shout out to Heather and Mike at the Cat-Tails bar and poolside service. We had an Amazon Fresh order scheduled (there is a small fridge in the room) and the bell stand delivered it within 5 minutes of us requesting it. My mom and niece were also staying at the hotel, and the front desk attendant thoughtfully placed our rooms right next to each other. . Conference management. We had a great conference rate and the acknowledgment of our (significant) presence was thoughtful. Overall, the team was well prepared for several hundred attendees moving around the property. CONS . Rooms NOT that family friendly. I have a real issue with hotel bathroom designs that aren’t accessible for kids. I had to drag the ottoman into the bathroom area so my youngest could reach the sink. A huge leather ottoman in the bathroom is not ideal. . Substandard housekeeping. I asked for laundry bags from our service provider and was told they weren’t available. She pressured us out of our room one day saying she was trying to finish her shift early and upset my niece to the point of tears. Another morning, we had privacy lock and sign on and they were knocking at 8:30 to come in. It all felt very disconnected. . The Food. The biggest disappointment was that a resort this size, and a Universal Studios property, was such a let-down when it came to food. If you have any food allergy whatsoever, don’t stay here. The RSC makes little to no accommodation for food allergy or intolerance, which is very surprising in this day and age. My husband is celiac and other than FRENCH FRIES and VEGETABLES was extremely restricted in his food options. Only one restaurant was able to offer him gluten free bread for a burger. Food allergies are more and more common, it is unreasonable that RSC was lacking in its accommodations. In comparison to Disney properties where almost anything can be accommodated for food allergies, it was a glaring difference. Food options for children were also limited and unhealthy. After three days of eating cereal, French fries, and cardboard pizza, my kids were desperate for a freaking hot dog. None of the seven restaurants offered such a thing, but I was told they were available at the golf course snack stand. So I walk all the way out there to get three hot dogs and they were…sold out of hot dogs. Our Amazon Fresh delivery was a godsend, and there’s a Publix market at the end of the (very long) resort drive. . Universal partner means what?? One afternoon we wanted to head over to Universal City Walk. Unfortunately, this

We were very pleasantly surprised by the Courtyard Lake Buena Vista at Vista Centre. I have stayed at many Courtyards, but this one was the best I have stayed at. It was just recently renovated. The lobby, lobby bar, and pool are so nice. The pool has cabanas with tvs and couches, a waterslide for the kids, cornhole, ping pong tables and fire pits. There is a huge tv where you can watch games all day and they show movies at night for the kids. You can order food and drinks from the lobby bar and eat inside or take it outside to the pool or around the firepits. The hotel location is perfect if you plan on visiting the parks like we did, or if you want to visit Disney Springs or the outlet shops and there are so many restaurants nearby. The customer service was excellent. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They have a buffet breakfast you can take advantage of and even offer Starbucks too. This Courtyard has so much to offer and I can't recommend it enough.

Double trees always a nice hotel to stay at and the free cookies and check in or whenever you ask are always a delightful treat. For this day we found that there was really nothing around the hotel itself as far as other restaurant choices although it’s very close to universal and they have a shuttle bus which was convenient, we ended up moving to a location nearby that had many more restaurants around, the rooms were clean the pool areas. Nice the restaurants food was good although a little pricey if you would like to use the pool areas, I think this could be an excellent choice.

We are a family of 11, and getting the 2 BR suites was perfect. We got 2 suites to comfortably fit our group. The rooms were great, despite the fact that it's an older hotel. The kitchen was really helpful esp when we just wanted to have some meals in-house. We just bought some stuff from Publix and cooked a meal on one of our last nights while packing. The kitchen was fully equipped, and they also provided dish soap and a sponge which was great. New towels were provided each day but I had to ask. They only clean the rooms twice a week. The beds were comfy, showers had good water pressure too. The Hot breakfast was great, including eggs, breakfast meats, cereals, bread, coffee, juice, fruits, and very nice cook-yourself waffles. The breakfast area never got really packed, we always got a table. We were there Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. It was also nice to be able to bring breakfast up to the room, especially for the kids. Coffee was available all day in the lobby. I love the lounge area by the lobby. It was a nice place to wait for the rest of our group, with comfy seats and a refreshing area. As I said, the hotel is a bit outdated so they will need to fix the paint, renew the carpets, brighten the lights, etc soon to stay competitive, but other than that, it was clean and the service was good. The staff at the front desk was great, the Shuttle service was on par, and we had a very early flight and took the 4:30 am shuttle. We booked ahead and they could accommodate us and our big luggage. The general manager Marisela Keller who handled our email inquiries very early on before our stay was excellent. We sent some inquiries and special requests twice, and both times she responded very promptly and clearly. It was a big factor in why we chose this hotel as well over another one that we prebooked.

The staff at the Sheraton really astounded me in that I was made to feel so at home while here for training. I was one of the lucky ones who found themselves shacked up at the Sheraton during Hurricane Ian. A few stand outs I want to point out: Latifa who always comes up to us for breakfast pours us coffee and juice with an incredibly warm demeanor, she is the server anyone in the restaurant/hospitality industry should strive to be. Carolina and Ana were also servers I’ve had the pleasure of speaking with and they’ve made my meal experiences here so delightful. There is also Helen the Bartender who has such a subtle charisma she’s been able to entice a few of us to spend time at her bar either for meals or a good drink. Finally I’d like to mention Melanie who was at the desk counter when I checked in, she was so willing to work with me to make sure I got checked in early, every time I’ve asked for help or access to something in regards to the hotel she’s made the extra effort and I can tell. There are so many people here I’ve left out and it’s a shame because everyone here did there part to shelter us the guests during the hurricane. I will be forever grateful that my first hurricane felt little more than a rainy day due to the protection they provided me here. Thank you so much Sheraton!!!!

General breakfast

My family and I were cruising out of Port Canaveral and wanted to come in a day earlier.  We didn't want to travel an additional 40 minutes on the same day to ride into Port Canaveral, so we decided to stay in Orlando.   Let me say that this was absolutely worth that decision and the decision to stay at this Fairfield Inn.  They offered only free shuttle service from the airport to the hotel, which was great.  Once we arrived Salina and the front desk crew were great!  They were helpful patient and very accommodating.  There is a Wine and Spirits store within 4 minute walking distance that also sold snacks.  There are plenty of restaurants that are also within walking distance.  The hotel does not have a restaurant, but they do serve a free Breakfast Bar that was very good and the food was hot and kept fresh.  We did a private shuttle with Cruise Control Transportation to the port since the hotel does not offer that service.  The  hotel is about 10 minutes from the airport.  The room was very clean and surprisingly quiet.  We were in room 101 and 102, which was by a key only access door for privately exiting and entrance without having to go through the lobby.  We will definitely be staying here again.

Much better than 1st time. Hotel is under remodel.. They just finished their pool and it looks great.. They're working on the roof. The rooms still need some work. But they are coming a long way. Price is right. There is a deposit which is I believe $50. You do get it back and roughly about 7 to 10 days depending on your credit card. It is not pet friendly unless you have a service dog. Hotel is right before the Orlando health Doctor Phillips. Rooms come with a microwave and a Mini refrigerator. They do serve a breakfast that you must eat out front. You cannot take it back to your room. All their handicapped rooms or on the 1st floor.

We have stayed here now at least half a dozen times & are pleased with prices & amenities. It's not the Ritz but it's sufficient for a place to lay our heads after a long day at the parks. My child loves the pool & game room. We also love the breakfast buffet. The gift shop is convenient too. I only wish their shuttle went to the Disney parks. They are also dog friendly which was a bonus this last trip.
