    I am writing to formally report significant issues regarding my recent stay at the Holiday Inn Express & Suites S Lake Buena Vista. My initial room, Suite 420, was in an unacceptable condition. I have documented extensive carpet and furniture stains, as well as mold blowing from the vents onto the bed and living room furniture. Additionally, the floors were dangerously slippery and appeared uncleaned. While the staff was friendly and moved me to a different room upon request, the second room also had carpet stains and a broken toilet seat. When I confronted the hotel management, they admitted to being aware of the issues in the first room yet continued to rent it out. The general cleanliness of the property is poor, with large, unaddressed spills and stains in the hallways. I believe this location requires a formal inspection from the corporate office to bring it up to standard. I have photos and video footage of these conditions available upon request.

    Additionally, there was a DJ both Friday and Saturday night, and the music was extremely loud, making it difficult to relax and enjoy the atmosphere. The music selection catered primarily to one audience, which may appeal to some guests, but the volume level made it challenging for others seeking a more family-friendly or relaxing environment. Overall, the amenities and atmosphere did not match our expectations based on the property’s description.

    No so good experience on my stay. Some of the most important ammenities were not available. The crab pool was closed and other attraction due renovation. The ice machine on the 7th floor were off or not working at all. I did reported and they fixed by next day (our departure date). The elevator bottom was broken and all the cables were exposed (safety issues) The vanity sink edged all full of mold (sanitize and health issues) The converter sofa was broken and was with mold and I cleaned using wipes; asked for extra sheets and 2 pillow and the sheets were delivery but no the pillows. The front people were so friendly and no complain at all. I would think twice to staying again...filling so sad because a family member was staying weeks before and recommended was a big surprise went I told my experience.

    The first two rooms given were unacceptable. They then gave us a suite that we kept just out of convenience. The hotel is not well maintained. Needs fresh paint, furniture repair, new carpet, new window shades, and a deep clean. The stains on the carpet and ceiling were disgusting. The smell of mold in the 2nd room was awful. The crab pool with the fun water slide was drained the day we arrived. The hotel was nice enough to refund my resort fee. Great location near many restaurants and stores.

    The room was small but clean and comfortable. The hotel is in need of updates. Rusty doors, broken locks, carpeting and electric plugs that do not hold plugs. The grounds are in need of serious attention plants are all dead. And customers should be told in advance that there are no coffee makers in room and that the kids zipline/ rock climbing area is closed. Also a huge disappointment was the Dunkin that is now a Starbucks. Location is good and the price couldn't be beat.

    I was very disappointed and the blatant dishonesty and lack of accountability from this hotel. I booked a suite 2 weeks in advance, double checked at check in that my room was a suite as I have 2 adults and 3 kids and we try to make sure we’re not on top of each other, And when I opened the door low and behold I had been placed in a 2 queen room with a sofa (not a suite). When I called the front desk to see why I was placed in the wrong room, the attendant stated that they accidentally overbooked but no worries because this room is the same price?! I explained to him my issue isn’t money but SPACE and had the CALLED or even emailed me I would’ve declined this room and went somewhere else. My issue with all of this is, the pure dishonesty from everyone I spoke with. I did receive a refund on my resort fee and parking as they couldn’t accommodate me with the room I had chosen and paid for. I was stuck in this room with 4 other people because it was a holiday weekend and I had just drove 9 hours and arrived too late to check in anywhere else…. So what I learned was, you might not get what you booked, no one will communicate that to you, when you ask to co firm you’re booking, they will flat out lie to you. The ONLY reason I am giving any stars is because of the absolute ROCKSTAR and sweet heart in dining/breakfast area, Amor. I truly believe she may be an angel. She was attentive to everyone, kind, and had some of the best customer service etiquette I have seen!

    These 2 rooms are in front of the hotel's laundry room and they make a lot of notice. Plus the hotel had the horrible idea of installing speakers outside of these rooms in first floor, so you cant sleep, because they play music 24/7. We had the bad luck of being assigned room 117. Coudnt sleep the entire night. Besides that the hotel is great. Just the first floor bedrooms are horribly located.

    The lady at the front desk was pleasant while checking us in. We got to the room and it was warm so we turned the thermostat down to cool it some. The A/C was leaking so they had a towel under it. The unit would not cool the room any lower than when we first arrived. The bed was comfortable.

What was worse was my daughter has dairy allergy and breakfast didn't have a single option not even alternative milk. That is totally unacceptable: Didn't realize property shares pools with three other hotels. We checked out early to stay elsewhere.

    The hotel itself is okay and the room looks updated but I was still able to detect an old smell that I have experienced in the past with Holiday Inn. The bathroom is also very small. The plus for that particular hotel are the activities for kids. They had rock climbing, bungee jumping, and zip lining. They also played a movie by the pool which reminded me of how the pool areas are on Disney properties. Overall it was okay but I just hate an old smell in rooms and when the bathrooms are not updated.

    Check-in was quick and efficient. The hotel offers movies by the pool almost every night and plenty of activities for kids, which is a great touch. Breakfast had a wide variety of options, including pancakes, toast, eggs, cereal, and rotating specials like biscuit's and gravy or corned beef hash. The room was standard, but I appreciated the addition of a bench for suitcases. The price I paid in all was great ($384 for 3 nights). It was also nice that the hotel wasn’t crowded during my stay. The Not-So-Good: There were a few issues that affected our stay. First, the front desk staff gave me a WiFi password, but it turned out that one wasn’t needed for guests to connect—this created unnecessary confusion. The room lacked a TV guide or any information on amenities, which made it difficult to know what was available and when. The bathroom door was a major issue: it wouldn’t stay open, and both my daughter and I ended up hurting our fingers because it slammed shut unexpectedly. For families with children, this could be a serious safety concern. Additionally, the pool with the water slide wasn’t heated, which limited its use during cooler weather. The carpets in the hallways and rooms were noticeably stained and could use a deep cleaning. Finally, there were no vending machines on my floor, which was inconvenient—especially for those who don’t feel comfortable drinking water from a bathroom sink.

    The facilities at this hotel were nice like the pool and the Jacuzzis. it was very close to shopping and Disney World. The staff was really nice and helpful. Breakfast was decent, but the waffles were delicious. Some things I did not like was the strong smell of marijuana in the hallways and in my room. The water out of the sink in the shower smells like sulfur, but I guess I heard it’s like that in Florida.
