Kompose Boutique Resort at Theme Parks

8/10 Good

"Room was ok it’s the bed and also the water splashes out when you shower but nice hotel"

Fairfield by Marriott Inn & Suites Orlando at FLAMINGO CROSSINGS(r) Town Center

8/10 Good

"Very nice hotel, great staff, nice location close to lots of shopping and restaurants. Breakfast was a little disappointing, eggs were underwhelming, and sausage not the Tausage, was burnt. This may have been a fluke we only ate there the one morning? We had old washed out sheets with stains on them, room was very clean, and I believe the sheets were clean too, but old stains on sheets is not a good look. The biggest issue with this hotel was the transportation to the parks. This is a third party shuttle, we left for a Disney trip after work on Friday so by the time we got there the shuttle was sold out. We had chosen this hotel, knowing the parking was high, $20.00 per day, but planning to use the shuttle saved us from having to pay for parking at the park. $30.00. Well we ended up paying for parking at the hotel, and the park because the shuttle was sold out. I think we will choose a hotel with free parking next time and just plan to pay for one parking instead of two. *I have never heard of a shuttle selling out, usually these companies are in the business of making money and would just schedule another bus.?"
