The Florida Hotel & Conference Center Review
Five miles from the airport gates, the hotel is midway between Orlando International and I-Drive, and if you like to shop, you're in for a treat. The large hotel is connected to the upscale Florida Mall, with seven major department stores and 250 specialty shops. A white-tiled lobby welcomes guests with marble floors and fountains. Marcelo's restaurant serves American bistro-style meals, and Cricket's bar offers respite. A state-of-the-art fitness center ensures that energy levels remain ready for shopping. Bright and airy rooms are decorated in neutrals, and all have refrigerators, wall-mounted flat-screen TVs, work stations, and deluxe bedding.
