Holidays to Windermere

"We stayed here for 9 days in a last minute panic when our other plans fell through. The price was reasonable and included breakfast. I enjoyed the background information about the owner and lobby decor as I am a huge recycler myself. I loved the updated rooms. A small couch would have been nice and there is plenty of room for it. The freezer was pretty much non-existent but having a fridge, microwave, and safe is convenient. My only complaint are the pool hours, "Closes at dusk". Most people staying here are enjoying theme parks until 7pm or later. Closing the pool before we had the opportunity to use it was frustrating. I appreciated the smoking area but saw the same cigarette butts on the ground for 9 days on our way to/from our room. Sad that people have to be such pigs but staff should have picked them up. Cleaning the rooms every other day is acceptable and environmentally conscientious. Better breakfast choices would help. Milk should never be left out in a large container. I thought my oatmeal was delicious the first day but tasted funny the next. Never touched it again and on another day heard a complaint to staff that the milk was bad. Sandwiches with American cheese and dry bread are odd options. Eggs and bacon were available, but only on the weekends. Hard boiled eggs would be a great addition as most other choices are carbohydrates. Despite these minor things, I would stay here again in a second! Very clean, updated and economical.…""We stayed here for 9 days in a last minute panic when our other plans fell through. The price was reasonable and included breakfast.

"Pros: good location, nice front desk staff Cons: dark parking lot at night as you have to walk to your room in a different building, not the cleanest, only the pool was open, walls are extremely thin and you can hear your neighbors all hours of the night I was traveling solo as a female and I wouldn’t recommend staying there alone. However, if your just looking for a bed to crash in and outside noise doesn’t bother you, then the price is good.…""Pros: good location, nice front desk staff Cons: dark parking lot at night as you have to walk to your room in a different building, not the cleanest, only the pool was open, walls are extremely thin and you can hear your neighbors all hours of the night I was traveling solo as a female and I wouldn’t recommend staying there alone.

"Pros: 1. Location 1A. Located in the middle of all the theme parks. Takes only 15 minutes to get to any of the theme parks in the area. Disney world, universal studios, sea world, etc. 2. Inexpensive 2A. I personally paid only $24 a night. With $9 per night resort fee and taxes. In total I paid $33 a night for a two queen beds, a bathroom with shower, tv, blow drier, etc. 3. Laundry 3A. Shared Laundry room was provided (at a cost) on site. Cost to run the machines is ran by a cash-for-token process. $1 for 4 tokens. To start and complete one load of laundry it will cost you $7 in total which is 28 tokens. Bring $1 bills with you to the laundry room. Tokens are NONREFUNDABLE. Cons: 1. Broke down 1A. Everything is broken and smashed in almost all of the rooms you will purchase here. It appears as though they do not have a maintenance team. If they do it is not a good one. 2. No room service 2A. Due to “covid” they do not provided room service during your stay. You must go to the front desk for exchange of towels etc. 3. Horrible landscaping 3A. Landscaper must not exist. Overgrown bushes, trees, weeds everywhere. The entire place from inside to out looks very low class and trashy. 4. “Resort” fee is an absolute joke. No further comment. Overall: If you’re like me and you don’t care what it looks like all you want is something cheap, located close to where you’re going, and it has clean beds with no bed bugs, go here.…""Pros: 1.

"I stayed here for 10 nights, the room was clean, it has a refrigerator on the room, the microwave it’s on the lobby, there is also free coffee daily. Room service need to be requested because of covid, but anything I need I requested it at the lobby and it was provided. Staff is very nice and helpful with everything. I used the laundry space and the shuttle service to parks, it was really good and the bus was always on time. I have no complaints. Everything was perfect!…""I stayed here for 10 nights, the room was clean, it has a refrigerator on the room, the microwave it’s on the lobby, there is also free coffee daily.
