Hotel Review - A Strange Staybridge Suites in Kissimmee, FL

Last weekend I caught a little R&R with some friends in Orlando. I snagged this Staybridge for a steal on IHG points. It turned out to be a little... different than my previous experiences with the brand. This Staybridge appears to have been built as an independent hotel (the Royale Parc Suites), then franchised with Choice as a Quality Suites for a number of years. Recently they renovated and re-flagged as a Staybridge. Overall, it seems the renovation was done on the cheap and a lot of little things were missed. Shame too, since it's actually a pretty charming property. The courtyard is pretty and the rooms are quite large so there's no shortage of potential.

Excellent review. I'm due to stay here in a few months. Couple of areas for them to improve but overall seemed a nice room - glad you mentioned high standard of cleanliness. Thanks.

Florida is where Sonny's The Carwash Factory is made. It's one of the biggest car wash manufacturing companies in the world. It is located in Tamarac, Florida.

Oh wow Jacob, you're in the same part of Florida where I stayed for my Disney wish trip of 2008 at a resort called Give Kids The World. It originally opened to provide wish kids with life-threatening illnesses with a magical place to stay during their wish trip to Disney World or any of the Orlando theme parks, and everything is all inclusive the resort itself is a theme parks on its own!

Those Staybridge Suites 2 bedrooms are normally 1 king in each bedroom. Being it is near Disney, they are jamming more bedrooms in there to draw a bigger family.

This is similar to something that happened near me. Years ago there was a Springhill Suites near the mall. It became a one off hotel, called Summit Suites. Recently work has begun and they’re converting it to a Staybridge Suites

What an interesting room. They got 90% of it right, but the 10% they missed is just odd stuff that shows a lack of attention to detail, from a design perspective. I suspect they drew up the renovation; it looked good on paper; and then they didn’t verify that it translated well.

To fix this messed up/noise on the compressor on unit number three, here is one, banging!!Banging is usually a sure sign that there’s a loose or broken part - a connecting rod, piston pin or crankshaft - inside the air conditioning compressor. Or perhaps, your indoor blower is unbalanced. A banging noise may also indicate that your system needs a compressor replacement .

I'm glad you finally made it to Orlando!!! I've been waiting for the longest time to see you come here and see what hotel you'd end up staying at, and I have to say, this place isn't NEARLY as bad as where I would've expected you to stay! Still, this place definitely does need a lot of work and could be better, but at least you didn't stay at a roach, hooker or drug dealer palace like I would've expected you to!

The really cool thing about Orlando/Kissimmee is since it’s such a massive tourist destination because of all the theme parks and stuff, there’s a massive amount of hotels and resorts. And because there’s so many, you can find really cool resorts and hotels for dirt cheap, something that would be worth $400+ anywhere else.

@PuppyInn 3 жыл бұрын

yep, there are so many cool hotels in Orlando (and Florida in general) that it makes it hard to choose! Even when looking just within the Marriott brand (there are at least three flagship Marriott's in Orlando). When we first went to Florida I ended up deciding on the Orlando Marriott World Center which is worlds largest Marriott. It has 2000+ rooms in multiple towers and a large convention center. It also has the largest pool that I know of at a hotel in Orlando (along with a second large pool and a indoor pool which is rare in Florida).

If the compressor is noisy on this unit and it’s messed up, you have a undersized problem with this unit in bedroom two

@elevatorman427 3 жыл бұрын

As far as the bedroom units making noise my thoughts would be perhaps could it be related to the beds being so close to the units and them not being able to work properly. I am not sure if that would be why but, I don't think it be good for them either.

Last extended stay I was in was in 2020 a Hometown Suites in Cincinnati Ohio midtown. I stayed twice last year in a 2 bed 2 bath suite it had only opened now going on three years ago I believe very nice place while their kitchen was small their 2 bed 2 bath was laid out better than this and had somewhat of a bigger kitchen. It wasn't too bad for a little over 200 a night.

This is quite a disappointing hotel. I imagine this hotel is run with the mindset that they don't expect anyone to be building any loyalty and therefore can ride on doing the bare minimum to keep with the brand standards.
