Red Lion Hotel Orlando Lake Buena Vista South

I had a great time here and it was better than I expected for the price I paid. This budget hotel was better than the Daytona Best Western we stayed in. The two queen beds had 4 pillows each, the AC worked and the room was clean. The woman at the front desk was polite, and the shop was open really late. It had both novelty Disney items for sale as well as essentials, like acid reducer when I had late night heartburn. I also liked that there was a water bottle refiller at the water fountain next to the elevators. I had no issues here. I will definitely stay here again when visiting Orlando.

Edit: according to other reviews, The pool heater has been broken for months. Update your website or stop taking “resort fees” when your amenities are not usable or refund the resort fees. Hotel was fine but we booked here because the pool was advertised as heated which it is NOT! We are from Canada so used to cold but the facilities were unusable- felt like a cold plunge. If weather is cold, we still enjoy heated pools which was our plan. Also, wifi did not work in our room which was not a big deal for us but could be for some. Resort fees should be refunded when you cannot use them because wrongly advertised. Rooms are huge- old and dated but clean. Beds very comfortable.

Our stay at the Red Lion Hotel had both positive and negative aspects. On the positive side, the room was quite spacious, well organized, and mostly clean. The hotel also has a very good and convenient location. Although breakfast was not included, it was decent—standard but good. Unfortunately, there were some cleanliness issues. The carpets were visibly dirty, and the room we booked included a king bed with a sofa bed. When we opened the sofa bed, it had no sheets, was unfolded, and had food crumbs everywhere, along with an empty drink bottle. My husband went down to the front desk to report the situation. The only options offered were to change rooms or to be given sheets so we could make the bed ourselves. We chose not to change rooms because we were traveling with two small children and one of them was already asleep. We had planned to use the sofa bed, but due to how dirty it was, we couldn’t. What disappointed us the most was that no discount or compensation was offered. We felt that we paid for a service and only received part of what we paid for. In conclusion, while the location and room size were definite positives, the cleanliness and customer service did not meet our expectations.

Fantastic, especially for the price. Honestly start to finish I can't think of any issues other than the hot tub *maybe* being a little sus. Beautiful pool and lazy river though. I do wish they kept the lazy river open later! Very nice rooms and comfortable bed. Close enough to Disney and Universal! They will tact on an extra resort fee when you get there and a 200 dollar incidental for the room though.

The room was huge! A king bed with a sofa bed, I believe it was an ADA room so I'm not sure if that's how all of the King bed rooms appear. I couldn't get in touch with the front desk or housekeeping to get towels and the location is great, BUT it's at an intersection where the traffic is atrocious!! The pool area is really cute! There is a lazy river, pool, hot tub, and water slide there. Let's not forget the poolside bar, restaurant, and the souvenir shop! You don't really have to leave the hotel, if you don't want. My friend and I had a really nice stay and I think we would definitely return!
