Marriott Orlando World Center Resort

Pros: uber-comfy beds, fantastic pool area
Cons: slightly un-personable staff

At a recent business conference in Orlando, I had the pleasure of being a guest at the Marriott World Center, minutes away from both Walt Disney World and Sea World. The location was very convenient and the bed was, dare I say it, ...

Pros: Great location, awesome service , fireworks view, pool.
Cons: Japanese steakhouse , expensive food/drink

The story so far: Family Vacation! Prior to spending a relaxing five days on a Gulf Coast beach we decide to exhaust ourselves with three days in Orlando communing with Mickey and Spiderman at Disney World and Universal Studios. Burning up year’s ...

Pros: Newly renovated rooms, indoor pool, huge, heated outdoor pool
Cons: Landscaping falls short, no guide to recreational activities

Epinions about this mega hotel nearly convinced us to go elsewhere, but a great rate -- just $129 a night -- a huge free form pool and a fine location persuaded us to give it a try.

Marriott World Center is big, for sure. Reviewers...

Pros: Well, it's big. And it's near Disney
Cons: Just about everything else

Readers familiar with my hotel reviews know that I hold the Marriott chain in high regard. Their properties flow across the entire spectrum of travel, and quality tends to be a key mission at many I’ve visited.

Earlier this year, I spent a...

Pros: The pool is out of this world.
Cons: The parking situation...Please add more self park.

This is one of my favorite places to stay. I visit Orlando yearly and I have to say this is an exceptional resort. I sometimes use Priceline.com and twice I have ended up here with $45.00 a night once off season and $65.00 a night in February. We ...

Pros: Everything under one roof, Well staffed, good resturants, Great Pool, great location
Cons: Pricey food, poor maid service

Let me start this by saying that I travel alot and I stay at a lot of hotels. The Marriott Orlando World Center is a great resort. It is not perfect but it is certainly one of the best full service resorts in Orlando. I have stayed at the Swan, Dolphin....

Pros: Lots of amenities.
Cons: Hard to find seating around the swimming pool. Expensive.

My girlfriend and I just returned from a 4-night stay at this resort. I have stayed at many hotels and resorts, but this was my first trip to Orlando, so take that into consideration when reading this review. My overall experience was very ...

Pros: Lots to do around the hotel and close to Disney.
Cons: Featherbeds.

Our family went to the Marriott Orlando World Center Resort just before Christmas so we could hit the parks at Walt Disney World. We were expecting a nice place to rest our heads, but not much more. We were in for a big (but very good) surprise. This ...

Pros: Pretty from the outside and massive size is impressive.
Cons: Awful Pricey food, lacks service, EXPENSIVE ALL AROUND BUT NO QUALITY, plain basic rooms

I live in Tampa, Florida and one of the perks to living here is that we can drive 1 hour and be a tourist in Orlando. I have stayed at just about every Luxury and Disney resort in this Orlando area, being an Orlando native and a Florida resident. I had no ...

Pros: An ideal convention site, in a family vacation destination.
Cons: Resort Fees, Excessive Valet Parking Fees, Size of Property

I just returned from the Marriott Orlando World Center. I decided to try bidding on Priceline for the first time and ended up paying $53.00/night (plus $5. bonus money) and received this Resort Category property. I was very pleased with the price I...

Pros: New; great amenities; awesome pool; wonderful spa
Cons: Expense; inconvenient self-parking; hard to find way around

I stayed here in fall 2002 for 3 days 2 nights. Upon first view, the resort is sprawling. Thankfully they had valet service to park the car and retrieve it when needed. After an approximately 20-minute wait we were allowed to check in. Since the ...

Pros: location, great pool, amazing suites, glass elevators
Cons: REALLY big, could be very crowded if full

We've stayed at this property many times over the past 10 years or so. Several of the times we've stayed at the condos, notably Sabal Palms--which are a bit dated but do have a washer/dryer and a full kitchen. The World Center has a great location, it ...

Pros: Hawks Landing Golf onsite; Great outdoor pool area for the whole family
Cons: Little expensive but you pay for what you get.

Well, I have stayed here twice in the past couple of months and all I could say is WOW. It's a great place to stay if you with a family, alone, on vacation or on a business trip. I have stayed here for both Business and Personal. There is a great little...

Pros: Big and plenty of facilities
Cons: Being renovated, some rooms very noisy indeed (at April 2001). Lack of Value for Money

The Hotel is expensive but has a lot of facilities for the tourist or business traveler alike. It is showing it's age and is (at April 2001) still undergoing renovation. The biggest disappointment particularly as a business user of this hotel who needed...

Pros: very nice place for children
Cons: we had none

We really enjoyed our stay here. The staff was ALWAYS very nice. The activies they had for the kids keep mine very busy. We even had a night alone thinks to babysitting staff. I felt VERY safe leaving my child there. The pool and ground were...
