Residence Inn by Marriott Orlando at FLAMINGO CROSSINGS Town Center

If you are planning to visit Disney parks, then this hotel is best if you don't want to spend big money on Disney resorts. The drive to Magic Kingdom and Epcot was 15 mins and no traffic. This is a great place for family with kids. There are outlets, stores, coffee shops and eateries right next to the hotel. There is a nice bar pool side in-case you want to be in the pool and relax.

I will give the pros and cons of our short weekend stay. First, the pros: The staff is exceptional! Big shout outs to Ethan at the front desk, Javier at breakfast, and Charles at the pool bar. Because of their excellent customer service, I would stay here again. The breakfast was very good, a lot of choices, and Mickey waffles for the kids. The room was clean and very roomy. We did not need the full kitchen for this stay, but the refrigerator was appreciated. The pillows were great and the air cold. The cons: Shuttle service to the parks is very limited. It is a free service offered by the hotel, but you may end up having to take an Uber. For instance, Animal Kingdom (AK) opened from 8a-8p. The shuttle left for AK at 8:45a and the only shuttle back was at 5p. This did not make sense to us, but maybe it works for some. As far as a Marriott hotel, this is the first one I encountered that did not leave waters for Elite guests and did not have lotion included in the toiletries. The water pressure was a 5 on a scale of 10 - 10, being awesome.

Relatively new accommodation so all facilities are in good shape. Everything is very clean as well. Room was well layed out with a separate kitchen and seating area. Nice gym area and swimming pool as well. The hotel is located across the flamingo Centre which is a new area with restaurants and shopping/supermarkets. So well located. All in all a perfect stay.

If you’re planning on going to any of the Disney parks, the location of this hotel is perfect!! Our room was beautiful! We had 2 queen beds separate from the living room as well as a kitchen. Complementary breakfast which included Mickey waffles! There was something for the whole family to eat! The only thing that was a negative to us, especially because of having small children, was that we were next to the pool (which was very cute but nothing spectacular) They had music on most of the time! Our first night the music played until 11PM! The following night we knew what to expect so our friend who was also staying at the hotel just asked the front desk if they could turn it off and they did with no questions! Over all this stay was wonderful would definitely recommend especially if you plan on going to any of the Disney parks!

Everything! From the esthetics to the breakfast buffet to the friendly front desk staff all great!Mist of all I’d like to commend the excellent staff working around the clock to maintain this property looking like new. Saw painters touching up scuff marks, power washers cleaning the floors, dusting ceiling fixtures … it was unlike anything I’ve ever seen. Excellent job!!
